This post has been hanging out in drafts since October 20, 2008. I occasionally just get a bug to make a list to live by. This was one of those I just never finished. It is just a whole mess of thoughts I was stringing together, hoping to write about…What is on YOUR list?
I like lists.
How then shall we live?
Living for the love…
- the best motivation
- for the love of God
- for the love of my family
- FOR the love
Living for the joy…
- enduring {whatever obstacle-situation-circumstance that emerges} for the prize ahead, the joy set before me
- watching for joy, looking for it
- creating joy
- His joy, my strength
- like there is no tomorrow
Living with…
- confidence {I am redeemed}
- authenticity {I am His}
Living by faith…
- In peace…
- Hidden in Christ…
- In the Presence…
- Renewing my mind…
Still…
- so I can know He is God
- so I can know the rest of God – yes, both the Sabbath rest He invites us into and the rest of who He is, all His secrets…“The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.” Ps. 25.14 NIV)
Empty, full
- More of Jesus, less of me
- Poured out in service; yet satisfied, content
Simple and honest. Un-entangled.
