I know life is busy. I know struggles are real. I know that some days, we are doing all we can to put one foot in front of the other and keep on walking. I have said many times that I'm just trying to keep my head above water, just surviving. But that is not God's best for me or you!
As God's people, we are people of purpose. We have the very spirit that raised Jesus from the dead inside of us, so there is no reason we aren't really living. Thriving. Surviving is not enough! If our goal is to live like Jesus did and love like Jesus does, we've got to do more than just barely get by!
Yes, the devil is attacking the church like never before and yes there is evil all around us, but greater is He in us than in the world!!! We have to choose to let the Spirit of God motivate us and move us to really live for him!
If God's people are living bare minimum, how can we ever expect anyone to want to be like us? To want what they see in us? To want Him?
Changing from surviving to living is all about attitude. We have to let the Spirit of God renew the attitude of our minds through His word. Get in the word. Remind yourself who God says you are and start living like a person who has hope. A person who knows the power God has given them. A person who loves life because it is a gift from God. Who pursues God and won't give up when things get hard. A person who is determined to be alive! Because that is what God wants from us!
