This is a follow up thought to the message I gave at church this Sunday. If you’d like to hear the full message you can download it at www.donnellybiblechurch.com.
I believe God wants us to pursue Him with wild abandon.
Why does that scare us at times though? “What if I get off on some wild tangent?” “What if I miss God altogether?” “What if I start to pursue something other than God truly thinking I am following God?” What if….what if….what if….what if……
Pursuing the infinite with wild abandon should give us pause, but who is God anyway?
I think sometimes we imagine God as this great cosmic matador, and if I go running for Him with my arms open wide yelling, “Daddy! Daddy!” then suddenly He will whip back His great red curtain with a thunderous “OLÉ!” and we will run by Him wondering where He is…..
But what if God does really love us? What if He even likes us? What if He gets excited about the thought of me letting go of everything and pursuing Him with wild abandon? What if we can trust Him? What if He wants to be found? What if when I give myself to finding Him He would actually place Himself in front of me so that I could find Him? What if….what if…..what if….what if…..
I think God is truly that good. I think He is bigger than I could ever imagine so I shouldn’t fear thinking too big of thoughts of Him. I think the bigger thoughts I have of Him the more I will see Him, the closer I will feel with Him, the more our relationship will grow and the more I will start to resemble Him.
That’s what I think, what do you think?
