Lukewarm or ON FIRE?!!!

Well, I must say that I honestly don't miss facebook. Do I think about it?!! Sure, I'd lie if I didn't think I wonder how full my wall is! I do get the comments people are leaving me, but I just don't go there except to post links to this blog! Then I quickly sign off!

Sometimes God takes me by surprise! Ok, often He takes me by surprise. Ya know, that still small voice of His that is ever so powerful! Well, He went and did it AGAIN. Yes, He spoke!

I received a book from church as a graduation gift. It's by Francis Chan called Crazy Love. I heard the Holy Spirit prompt me to read a few more pages. So, that's what I did. I read all of 8 pages. Yeah, I really did some serious reading huh?!

Honestly, I didn't even notice the title of where I started. I just began to read. He (Francis Chan) begins by saying that God deserves our very best. I read a little further and then there it was. It jumped right off the page at me. Chan gives an exercise where you replace the word Love for your very own name and repeat it out loud. Mercy, it was horrible. I was like I can't believe I am putting my very own name in this verse b/c it really isn't 100% true. I don't have all of these characteristics. I fail at some of these and I miss the mark daily. I am a sinner and I need to get better at some of the others.

So after I'd finished reading the 8 whole pages the Holy Spirit prompted me to go to youtube and look up Francis Chan. I came across the video LUKEWARM and Lovin' It. I looked at how long the video was and thought, I was hoping for short video, but nonetheless I watched it. It spoke to me loud and clear. I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Alicia, you need to rekindle your flame, and get back on fire for God" It isn't about being comfortable and secure, it's about Eternity and making a differnce in the place where you are. I highly recommend you watch the video as well.

Now...I'll tell you the title of the Chapter. It was called "Offering Leftovers." You see that's all I had been offering God was leftovers and they were petty at that. Here's a question for you to answer. I can't answer it for you....Are YOU offering leftovers to God?????
