Scripture: Mark 10:21
Journal: Where in your life are you content to settle for less than what God
wants for you? What will it take for you
to fully follow Jesus in that area?
Reflection:
Jesus looked at the man and loved him.
“One thing you still lack,” he said.
“Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven. Then come, follow
me.”
“I know that may sound
demanding, and maybe even harsh, but it is what will bring you to life
inside. I made you for so much more than
the life you are experiencing. I long to
give you more than the life, and the lesser loves and treasures, you are
settling for. Raise your
aspirations. Stop just trying to slide
by on the minimum requirement. Stop just
trying to feel better. Stop running to
broken wells that cannot satisfy. I love
you far too much to allow you to settle for less than all the life and the
fullness and the love I made you for.
Come, follow me.”
Prayer
Closing Prayer: Lord Jesus, show me where I am settling for less. Show me where and how I am just trying to get
by. Show me the things, or the people,
that I am putting before you, and give me the grace and the strength and the
courage to let them go so I can truly follow you. Amen.
