The crisis of faith with health care and following the Lord is, “What if I am not hearing Him correctly? What if I die because I didn’t hear?” We all alike struggle with these thoughts.

Being in the Spirit allows us to lean in dependence rather than being strapped with the responsibility to care for ourselves.

Being focused on what God has for ME is not selfish. In fact, it's vital for a life of adventure! So let’s talk about how to be on self in an obedient way.

I wanted to share another example, one about my own health crisis rather than one I merely witnessed.

I am not the owner of my body or life; I am merely the steward. I don’t have the right or the ability to care for myself.

God gave me a love of the truth, and I'm grateful. But loving truth is no substitute for faith, and only IN faith does it become a love of the One Who IS Truth.

This post holds a huge lesson about taking care of myself. It's a deep lesson I have to repeat over and over again. Christ is my everything, even my awareness of self.

God’s sovereign choices for my life seem to have been designed to create a rocky road to salvation. Why did He put such obstacles between my heart and His?

The truth of Christ in me, as me ia that He is the Source of Life. We often are unaware of who He is impacting through us and how.

I'm not interested in a casual cerebral knowing, I wanted that deep awareness only Christ gives. I needed Him to say, “I see you, John!”

I can easily conceive of my desire to know God, but to comprehend that I am known and seen by Him? Wow, the Lord sees me whether anyone else sees me or not.

You know, just the smallest drop of Christ’s Life is enough to send ripples across the whole landscape. And where those waves go is out of our purview.
