Are you up for an adventure? Funny thing, the older I get in
Christ, the more I seem to be excited for new adventure. At least the spirit is
willing, even if my body is in complete protest.. My lifelong friend and
mission partner (or is it partner in crime?) Jerry Cadenhead includes the
following on the bottom of all his e-mails..."Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Helen Keller
"This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It's adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike 'What's next, Papa?" Romans 8:15, The Message.
In order to continue joining Papa on His adventure; timidity and or passivity has to be done away with! This resurrection life is the adventure. Each day presents new challenges and opportunities. Every moment with Him is pregnant with exciting adventure!
"It stands to reason, doesn't it, that if the alive and present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he'll do the same thing in you that He did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself?" Romans 8:11, The Message.
The adventure always has new frontiers to conquer and settle. Most of these have to do with Papa "bringing you alive to Himself." For me; at least in recent months, self love and forgiveness have been the frontiers to conquer and settle. Can you fathom how monumental it is "for Him to do the same thing in you that He did in Jesus"? The adventure is a secure place-so be nurtured by the adventure! In the grip of Papa’s adventurous grace! Ron Ross
