Hey All,
Counting down our 12 "Be's" is to "Be Willing".
We all have a picture of our life that we have developed in our own mind. It has been been created by our story and we have grown to believe it. It is the "way" that things are to be. It is the "hand" that we were dealt. It is our "lot" in life that was created............and ultimately we believe it is our destiny to play it out.
But is it the life that we truly desire? Don't we all really want something more? In our prayers, don't we really want more? Don't we really want more life? Don't we long for an adventure that is more than the life we know? Don't we want to go on a wild chase? An adventure?
Deep down......we all do. But our we willing to step out? Are we willing to follow our heart? Are we willing to follow HIM in a way that breaks us free from our story and enter into HIS story?
Check this out.
The Celtic Christians called the Holy Spirit the "Wild Goose". This is where the term "wild goose chase" comes from. They believed that the Holy Spirit was like a Wild Goose and following it was like trying to catch a wild goose. You didn't know where it was going....but is was going to be a wild ride.
So the question is.......are you willing to follow the Wild Goose? Are you willing to break free from your own story and enter into the story of chasing the Wild Goose? You see, when we truly dedicate our heart to HIM, then HE will lead us on another journey. HIS journey. HIS story. HIS wild story. HE is the Wild Goose.........and when we follow HIM completely.....then while we may not know where it is going to end up, we know that we are on the the right path. We are on the path to more life. It really is a Wild Goose chase. And while we may not know where it goes or ends up......we DO know that if we are chasing HIM.....then we have peace that it is HIS story for us. And that story always leads to more life.
But we have to be willing to go.......we have to be willing to take the step.......we have to be willing to chase that Wild Goose.
Are you Willing?
