What is it for anyway?!?! God, I was better off without you!
Ever been there? First, your curious about God, and even see it as your hope, your stabilizing force… Second, you know that you’re on a journey closer to Him, and you’ve made the decision to make a step change in your faith. Somewhere on that journey, WHAM! Out of nowhere, you realize that the situation that you’re in is heavier than you can carry on your own. THAT’S THE POINT!
You made the decision to leave a place in your life that you thought was ‘fertile ground’, to go to a place that was even more ‘fertile’….but you feel that the distance between these two on the journey is desert filled with LaNdMiNeS!!! It’s in this time…that we’ve found “the land between”. The truth is, although we feel that the bookends of our journey are the most fertile….God wants us to know that this desert we’re in is fertile too! And actually…it’s where he is doing the most cultivating in our heart!!!
IT’S NOT A LIGHTSWITCH! Your heart can change immediately, but your life is tougher. We think that it’s a magic token, but its actually a decision to let God work in your life and cultivate awesomeness!!!!
1. Where are you? Are you in the land between? Are you reluctant to start the journey?
2. What parts of your life do you think God is doing some farmin’?
3. Are there times in your life that have made you question how fertile the desert is?
