I WANT TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A GLORIOUS ADVENTURE, BUT YOU MUST SEEK TO KNOW ME IN GREATER DEPTH AND BREADTH INSTEAD OF STRIVING FOR A SAFE LIFESTYLE.
I know how ambivalent your heart is in all of this: You long for the adventure that a life abandoned to Me can be, and at the same time, you cling to old ways because change frightens you.
Though you feel safest when your life is predictable and things seem to be under control, I want you to break free and discover the adventures I have planned for you.
The greatest adventure of all is knowing Me abundantly: discovering how wide and long and high and deep is My Love for you.
The power of My vast Love can feel overwhelming.
That is why many people choose to limit their knowledge of Me, keeping Me at a distance.
How this grieves Me!
People settle for mediocrity because it feels more comfortable.
Meanwhile, they continue to battle fear.
Only My Love is strong enough to break the hold that fear has on you.
A predictable lifestyle may feel safer, but it can shield you from what you need most of all—Me!
When unexpected events shake up your routines, rejoice.
This is exactly what you need to wake you up and point you toward Me.
Recognize that you are on the threshold of a new adventure, and that I will be with you each step of the way.
As we venture out together, cling tightly to My hand.
The more you abandon yourself to Me, the more exuberantly you can experience My Love.
From "Jesus Lives" by Sarah Young
Stay Strong!
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ."
- EPHESIANS 3:17–18
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."
- 1 JOHN 4:18
"My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
- PSALM 63:8
