II Corinthians 6:11 - Your life and who you are not defined by what you have or what you do in the natural. “Your life is not small, but you are living it in a small way.”

We want to go to new places. We want to go into new things with God that we have never seen before. We are all at different levels, and some of us are moving from being part time Christians to living for God full time. Some people just fit God into their lives, but they don’t understand that their lives are minute compared to the big life God has for them when they commit full time. It’s moving from dial up Christianity to permanently connected. Always in a sense and posture of alertness to God. Developing a full time sensitivity to the Spirit. Being comfortable in the Word, and being able to navigate it and apply it. Praying without ceasing instead of just when we need something.

II Corinthians 6:11 - I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide open spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. Your lives aren’t small, but you are living them in a small way. Open up your life. Live openly and expansively.

A life that isn’t challenged is the life of a person who isn’t living to the level of potential God requires. God is living. Life is dynamic and growing. We are called to be moving, growing - living our Christian life to the full. We always want to be striving and moving towards a place we have never been before. God wants to bring us into new places and into new experiences that we’ve never had. We are the ones that hold ourselves back by focusing on why things can’t happen instead of walking in faith.
