IN the world, but not OF it...
... probably the hardest balancing act in my life right now.
We MUST be intentional in our relationships.
Genuinely love others.
Hurt when they hurt.
Realize their (just like our own) depravity and need for God.
Remember the brevity of life.
Live a life of HOPE.

Fully Alive
John 10:10 is probably the Bible's sweetest verses about living life.
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the FULL."
How many days do I have life to the Fulllllll. Meaning no empty space, completely full. Of God's love, power, peace, trust, joy, the list goes on.
Despite hardships, change of plans, Satan's temptations and lies, we have the opportunity to pursue God wholeheartedly and fill our lives with His word and the accompanying characteristics listed above, if we so choose.
If we lived each day like these, we'd have so many opportunities to provide an explanation of our inner peace and consistent joy to our families, friends, bosses, patients, coworkers, grocery clerks, etc. who will look at us in dumbfound awe of the way we live our lives.
This verse is my prayer for all of the world's christians.
