There are many, many things I wanna do in life. But I want the #1 dream of my heart to be to love Jesus with all my heart, mind, soul and strength. Mike Bickel who leads the International House of Prayer in Kansas city, MO did SUCH a great teaching on the 1st commandent and I just cant get enought of it!! Its a teaching I could hear over and over and over again and hear something new each time.
He talks about loving God with our words, energy, money, time and influence. I know for myself I like doing what I want to do with my time, but I feel like I need to surrender that time to Him. Our identity and how we view ourselves should be by our relationship with God instead of what we accomplish and how many people know us, or how much money we make.
If we realign our idenity with the truth of God's word, it wont matter who likes us, how many friends we have or fear of rejection. We will be able to love God more.
Identity in God, GOD LOVES ME AND I LOVE HIM THEREFORE I'M SUCCESSFULL
Even though our love is weak, its real, and it really does move God's heart.
In the natural mind set and the world says you are successful if you have lots of money, if your famous, if you have a great job...which all those things are good but our real and true success should come from our relationship with God.
I want my assignment in life to come from the place of success, not by trying to earn success. We get burnout in life not because of hard work, but because we do our work with the wrong spirit.
All the above is from Mike Bickle's teaching...
Now back to cleaning my dirty house, so I can have dinner tonight with the family. Its such a beautiful day!! I love spring time!!!
