When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

What are you doing right now that requires faith?

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

I've grown up in a generation that questions God for setting boundaries. Does He have the right to set boundaries? I've grown up in a generation that thinks where meeting with a God is an ordinary thing.

The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.

My pride and immaturity caused me to make things more of a struggle than they had to be. I can always blame others or circumstances, but the truth was that my own sinful pride led to more stress than anything else.

I could fill my whole time doing interviews, speaking to crowds, and there's this natural human tendency because of our culture to think that the more people I talk to, the bigger the impact I'll have, and yet Jesus didn't spend His time just speaking to the masses. He spent the bulk of his time with a small group of people.

We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.

People who are obsessed with Jesus do not consider service a burden. Obsessed people take joy in loving God by loving His people (Mt 13:44)(Jn 15:8).

Doesn't every encounter with God only cause us to thirst for Him more?
Francis Chan
Image
When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.

The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.

Our lives should be more than just focusing on our marriage but on focusing our marriage toward what God's mission is for us as a couple.
