The ache in your heart: Dreaming of a fulfillment

You feel it, don't you? This undeniable, unshakable feeling that there's something more that what this life is currently offering. You’re dreaming of more excitement, more fulfillment, and more purpose.

Every day, you're going through the motions of life, and all the while you wonder…"is this it?"

Then, the thoughts come…

“I'm so blessed, I should be happy with what I have”

“I have literally everything I could ever want, why am I not happy?”

“I'm selfish for wanting more”

“Things could be so much worse. I shouldn't feel so unfulfilled”

We heap shovel fulls of shame on ourselves for wanting more instead of questioning if those feelings are actually God trying to get our attention. Deep calls to deep, my friend.

This life isn't about getting everything we want. It's about being a living sacrifice. If we're super cozy, never rocking the boat, and never dying to our selves, then is it any wonder why we don't actually feel fulfillment?

We are part of a MUCH bigger story. If we are so consumed with chasing our own personal happiness, all we'll find is a hollow hole.

Mark 8:34-36

34 And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?

In what ways are you refusing to die to yourself? Have you forfeited your soul in the name of control? Do you have a white knuckled death grip on every aspect of your life? Are you terrified of being misunderstood? Are you scared of what might happen if you actually let go?

I want to assure you that there is so much freedom in the surrender.

There is an adventure waiting for you. Can you see it?

It's time to jump in, and start dreaming with God.
