I’ve thought for several months about life. None of my conclusions include working full time as a customer service representative for a cell phone carrier.
I do it because as a husband I have to provide for my wife. but is that really my job?
When did I start believing that it was my duty to provide for myself? Sometimes I feel like this is where I/we REALLY drop the ball.
God is my provider. Jehovah Jireh.
The Bible is clear.
Why do I then spend so much of my time working this job?
I’d rather be serving people. I’d rather be with my wife. I’d rather be writing. I’d rather be learning.
God, how do I start living in this mindset?
Heavenly Father, teach me to understand this life as you’ve intended it.
Help me remember who Adam was designed to be.
Lord, give me the patience to wait for you’re direction/give me the boldness to act in faith/give me the grace to save me from my own failings.
When I get a vision of what this, when we as a team have been imparted with the will and the calling to leave this life and begin a new one, we will change the course of history for the church.
Imagine if you didn’t have to work 40+ hours a week at a job that at best is decent.
Imagine being able to spend time with your loved ones, developing yourself and them.
Imagine a life where you are devoted to the spiritual development of everyone you encounter.
Imagine a life where you are able to commit your entire existence to the cause of Christ’s unfailing love.
Imagine a life where you are grateful for waking with the sun. Imagine a life where you’re heart sinks when the sun sets because it means that days work is done.
Imagine a life like God designed it to be.
(This is not my exact idea of what God designed life to be like, it’s a portion of an idea)
Don’t let pain force you into this realization.
Take it now, see it. Make it yours.
I swear to you with no evidence that it’s possible.
I believe in it.
