the constant pursuit

"I will continue the pursuit no matter what the opposition." 

One of my all time favorite Youtube vloggers, Casey Neistat (guilty of charge, I love vloggers), said this in one of his videos. A few words that took my attention immediately. Why? Because this is the way I want to live my life for the Lord. No matter the challenge, the stumbling block, the hesitance, the unknown, the opposition, I will continue to run and dig deeper into who our God is. 

And so often I find myself not living this way. I pray to live this way, but often find a gap between me and God. Honestly, I so often allow things like worry and acceptance from others to creep into my life and cause me to stumble, and it becomes disgustingly important to me. Important enough to create that gap between God and I. and ya know what, I absolutely hate that gap. Every day I want to wake up asking God to close that gap, with more of HIM. For him to use me for His kingdom, His glory, His purpose. While reading through Corinthians this morning, these verses just hit me! like what!? 

"What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away. I would like you to be free from concern." 1 Corinthians 7:29-32a

seriously this book we have to live on is INCREDIBLE. When we doubt, question, hesitate... the answers are in there! That verse is straight up encouragement for us in this world. It is not ours, and will not ever be ours. Our lives are not our own! So live with that everyday pursuit and purpose in Christ!! It's a freaking freeing thought honestly. and beyond that, it's the most freeing way of LIFE. It's just LIFE ABUNDANT. We do not hold the weight of this world, for it too shall pass!

"take away the space between us & fill it with more of you" <--- a little something I want to say each morning. 

 I am on the constant journey of running head first into God's unending love, overflowing grace, and magnificent power. If you are struggling with this, you aren't alone. I'm sure many of us find ourselves in this same boat or with a little gap that we want to immediately fill. But that worldly short term satisfaction will do nothing for us. Christ and His love is the only thing that will sustain and completely fill us and bridge that gap in our lives. 

But hey, guys. Let's work together on this. Let's strive for our lives to be cemented in Christ and who He is. We are nothing without Him! Pray more, love more, encourage more, smile more, hug more, THANK God more. 

okay....

my random blurp is done. 

you are so loved.
