Day 30: What If?
Have you ever boarded the WHAT IF train?
It starts with a thought about a reality in your life
that you are facing,
or
you know you will have to face.
And then it happens,
as all the worst case scenarios
start flooding your brain
as you board
the
WHAT IF
train.
And it is never a smooth ride,
because the
WHAT IFS
get bigger & get worse
as
fear, worry, anxiety, & hurt
become your traveling buddies.
The
WHAT IFS
turn into the
NOW WHATS
so that you are
headed to that not-so-good place.
Do you have a WHAT IF?
But
WHAT IF
you and I just let the
WHAT IF
train pass by without boarding it~
because the
WHAT IFS
are just that,
the
WHAT IFS
that haven't happened & that may never happen,
But WHAT IF
you BELIEVED GOD instead?
WHAT IF you
faced a FEAR that is keeping you stuck from moving forward?
WHAT IF you
you faced a REALITY that you are brushing under the carpet,
even though you know it is there?
WHAT IF you LET GO of a habit that you are holding onto,
because you don't who who you would be without it?
WHAT IF you INVITED JESUS
into those BROKEN spaces and places of your heart,
because HE came to HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED?
WHAT IF you wanted MORE than just living at status quo,
just surviving until you arrive, yet you just never seem to arrive?
WHAT IF you TRUSTED GOD
for all your WHAT IF'S that are just
wrapped up in worst case scenarios?
BUT WHAT IF
GOD IS who HE says HE IS
and
WHAT IF
JESUS IS who GOD says JESUS IS
and
WHAT IF
JESUS IS who HE says HE IS~
because
JESUS DID what HE SAID HE would do.
Yup.
THE GRAVE IS EMPTY.
Yup.
Even DOUBTING THOMAS no longer DOUBTED,
because Thomas had the courage to question JESUS
in the midst of his DOUBTS.
WHAT IF your DOUBTS turn into questions
that you present to GOD,
so that HE could turn all your
DOUBTS
into
TRUSTING HIM,
because
you are experiencing a
RELATIONSHIP
that beats life into a lifeless heart.
Because LIFE without JESUS isn't LIFE.
Do you want HIS IMMEASURABLY MORE?
WHAT IF you ASKED?
"GOD can do anything, you know—
far MORE than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!
HE does it not by pushing us around but by working within us,
HIS SPIRIT
deeply and gently within us"
(Ephesians 3:20).
And what is HIS MORE?
EXPERIENCING HIS PEACE in the midst of ANXIETY.
EXPERIENCING HIS HOPE in an HOPELESS circumstance.
EXPERIENCING HIS LOVE when REJECTED.
EXPERIENCING HIS JOY when you are not HAPPY.
WHAT IF your EXPERIENCING GOD is IMMEASURABLY MORE
than you could ever imagine,
because
your
EXPERIENCING JESUS IS THE MORE
that you have been searching for?
Because
JESUS IS GOD'S YES to all your questions.
"For as many as are the promises of GOD, IN CHRIST they are [all answered] “Yes.”
So through HIM we say our “Amen” to the glory of God"
(2 Corinthians 1:9:20).
Therefore,
WHAT IF the TIME is NOW
to
EXPERIENCE the IMMEASURABLY MORE of JESUS
even IF you may not SEE the MORE
or
FEEL the MORE?
Today may be the LAST DAY of SEPTEMBER,
so why not make it your
LAST DAY
of wondering
WHAT IF it is possible for you to
EXPERIENCE IMMEASURABLY MORE NOW?
Well,
TODAY IS THE DAY!
Because
JESUS IS HERE!
Get Ready. Get Set. Go.
