NO LONGER AN OPTION~
what I used to do before I knew GOD.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
to act out in anger.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
to hold onto bitterness.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
to be paralyzed in FEAR.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
to be a victim.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
to play the blame game.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
to wear shame.
NO LONGER AN OPTION~
even though the arrows strive to strike my heart
and strive for me to REACT instead of RESPONDING as a child of GOD.
Because
when I make
JESUS MY ONLY OPTION
&
when you make
JESUS YOUR ONLY OPTION
all we can do is RESPOND to HIS LOVE
that invites us into the place
of PERFECTION
that is not of ourselves
because it is HIS PERFECTION
that covers us completely.
And then you get so lost in HIS PRESENCE
that you only know how to RESPOND
to HIS invitation
so that all that you want is to be just like HIM.
So then you take that leap of FAITH
and make HIM your ONLY OPTION
so that everything else diminishes in HIS PRESENCE~
"Therefore, as GOD'S chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the LORD forgave you.
And over all these virtues put on love,
which binds them all together in perfect unity" (Colossians 3:12-14).
Because
JESUS has to be more than just an OPTION
because
JESUS IS
"the [only] Way [to GOD] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life;
no one comes to the Father but through ME" (John 14:6).
Therefore
everything else is
NO LONGER AN OPTION.
So let's ABIDE IN JESUS
as we are BEING STILL KNOWING GOD IS GOD
and plugging into the power of THE HOLY SPIRIT
so that then every moment is
HIS MOMENT
to shine through us
as HE enables us to
PRESS FORWARD
to
live beyond the arrows of the life
every moment and in every moment.
And all it takes a
"LEAP OF FAITH" (listen to the song below)
