wasting time...

For the last couple of months I've had this thought running through my mind... "stop wasting time". It's almost become a bit of a burden on my heart. Actually, not almost. It has. Full stop.

A little while ago I posted a song by Brooke Fraser called "Hosea's wife". It's become a bit of an anthem for me lately. Some of the words have really impacted me and stayed on my heart. Particularly the bit where she sings about we were created for a purpose. We are more than dust. That means something! .... And where she asks what do we live for?!

What do you live for?! Do you live for yourself or for God?

Do you live for His will or yours?

Are you squandering this life?

This life that has a limit... a life where days can't be re-lived...

And I get this image of a church on fire. A church full of Holy, passionate people, who have a deep and intimate relationship with their loving heavenly Father. A people who truly believe that God can do amazing things in and through them. Things beyond their wildest dreams. A people who will allow Gods Holy Spirit to do an unimaginable work in them. I know so many Christians who have such amazing potential to do amazing things for the Kingdom, but they just don't believe in themselves! They don't see in themselves the qualities they have to offer. They don't believe they can do it. Oh God please give these people a self belief, and more importantly a belief that we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us.

I dream of a church who realises that we can no longer squander our lives. No longer believing lies that the world tells us.

I dream of a church who truly desire to be more like Jesus. Who search their hearts, asking God to show them what isn't pleasing in His eyes. And then, CHANGE! .... A people who want to see this world through Gods eyes and not their own.

Everyone lives for something?

What do you live for?

A lot of questions hey... and maybe a bit of Ness babble... but something to ponder on..

For Him Alone
