What Do You Love To Do?
We all have at least one thing that we love to do. It makes us feel alive. It makes us feel valuable. It’s the one thing you can fall back on when times are rough.
A recent post from the Lies Young Women Believe site asks if you’d be willing to lay “It” down for Jesus.
Sometimes we get really addicted to what we “do.” We love it. And we think it is what makes us “all that”…and we feel insignificant without it. Doesn’t’ matter what “it” is. Swimming. Singing. Getting A’s. God doesn’t mind that we love it or excel. He probably enjoys watching our pleasure. But I think that sometimes we have to lay it down.

I think that Peter knows a little about that. He was quite a fisherman. In fact, her ran back to his fishing business for comfort after he denied Christ. Jesus shows up and says, “Hey, I want to make you a fisher of men!” Jesus got how much Peter loved his fishing. He also wanted Peter to have more. So, Peter gave it all up to go for it all. Ironic, isn’t it.
What’s your “it”? Would you willfully give it up for God?
