thief
Well, I’m going to be a bit of a thief today and play off of Drew’s blog….. 
good stuff for a Friday.
Today we had our staff meeting/devotional over at Starbucks and it was really great. I like what Drew walked away with. But what I love about “great conversation” is that we can all away with something different. All good and thought provoking, just different.
I really do appreciate Robbie’s convo style… he started out one way and flipped it, knowing that there are all different kinds of people that come from different backgrounds/walks of life. Our conversation really stirred up a desire in me to know God in a deeper way and be able to give Him my life in complete trust. To view Him more as a loving, caring, yet mighty ‘Father.’ Viewing God as a Father is not easy for those without an earthly father. But if you know what a father should be – thinking of God in that way automatically makes Him seem safer, warmer and more loving – verses – a harsh judge/ruler waiting to strike me with lighting when I fail.
Everyone has their own issues that hold them back from pursuing what God has for them. So rather than running in fear from those issues, we need to deal with them. Grab the bull by the horns and kick the fear. Fears of failure, fears of insecurity and abandonment… whatever they are. Perfect love casts out all fear… there is no fear in God’s love, there is no fear in trust – only peace. Holding on to fear is not worth it. The plans God has for us are soooo GOOD. If we knew God more intimately, we might know that His intensions are that of a protective, strong – yet loving and perfect Father…..
Oh to know Him…… Seek and you will find, Knock and the door will be opened unto you.
