I'm starting to read Donald Miller's latest book, 'A Million Miles in a Thousand Years' and I'm reflecting on his comment about sitting with God at the end of our lives and having a conversation with Him. What will we say? Will God be pleased with how we lived and loved? What will we have done with our lives?
As most people do at the new year, I've been thinking about my life and where I'm headed and most importantly what my heart's intent in life is. I realized that for the first time in my 30 years on this earth I can genuinely say I'm at peace with today and tomorrow and ultimately with this much-anticipated reunion with my Creator God.
Lovestruck and broken for Him. That's what I'll be. Lovestruck because He has won my heart and I'm head over heels in love with Jesus. And I know I'll be broken. Broken of my selfishness, vanity, critical heart, anxieties, pride and whatever else plagues my tender, fleshy, palpitating heart.
So this year and in the years to come my pursuit is the same: intimacy with the One who calls us His Beloved.
