It's one of those mornings

If you plan to live an average life “doing your best” is enough.
If you are not afraid to step into God’s waters where your foot cannot
touch the bottom, you will end up giving more than your best.
“Doing our best” sometimes has a lazy , fatalistic flavor with it.
It’s far from understanding our identity as “more than conquerors”.
Romans 8:37
Continents would never have been explored and the moon would remain
only a mystical cheese ball in the sky. Man would never even dream
of stepping on it.
The writer of the book of Hebrews deals with this saying,
“You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin…” Hebrews 12:4
With other words, ”Somebody doesn’t like you? That’s not the end of the world.
Didn’t you know that others are being tortured and killed daily in places
where no names are asked.”
When “doing more” is not motivated by guilt, but by a genuine love relationship
with God, ordinary things get glorified and common lives are remembered.
The Holy Spirit wants to lead us out from our own small lives into God’s presence.
Someone exclaimed in a famous writer’s home museum,
“There have been people living here, whose names are attached to famous dates!”
With God this day could become one of those famous dates.
Your eyes have been given the grace to see this morning.
