Good Morning!

If reading last night’s entry left you anxious, let’s remember something together:

We seek to align ourselves with the King.

The King has plans and purposes in this world and He moves in us to figure out how our lives align with those plans and purposes.

When we love Him above all else, we are freed from lesser loves and open to joining Him in what He’s doing – namely drawing all people on the whole earth to the joy of worshipping Him.

We do this for His glory, our good, and for love of our neighbor.  No matter who that neighbor is or where that neighbor is from.

When we do this out of joy for what He’s done in our lives – and when our ‘doing’ is centered in joining Him rather than rushing out in pride – we seek His kingdom come and His will done on earth as it is in heaven.

One practical way we ‘do’ this is by aligning ourselves with Him every morning.  Asking Him to change our hearts.  Inquiring Him to give us eyes to see what He’s up to.  Requesting He strengthen us to obey.  And begging Him to make us disciples who are willing to give up anything for love of Him.

More to come.  But must wait until nap time.  Smile.
