‘Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20 NLT)
Hello, CalledOne,
How expanded have you been called to be? Where is growth happening in your real life … your soul life?
Images of the disciples in that upper room, post-crucifixion days have fixed in my thoughts.
Their minds racing,
yet dull,
yet firing rounds of random thoughts,
yet still reflective.
Those inner circle relationships are sacred and precious and genuine. Raw and real. And, they have power to expand Christ.
You and I are given different beings with whom new life-chapters enter and prove Christ-worthy. They enter into your inner circle for the purpose of expanding His Christ-loving presence – they come to help you offer your life as a gift to others and an offering to our Creator.
Nothing is better than surrounding yourself with passion-driven souls. We see people getting caught up in their hours…waiting for permission – the apostles didn’t wait. Once the directive came from Christ, they began to move.
You and I operate under the same directive as those in that upper room. It’s probably time to step back out into the daylight.
Wake up.
What are you waiting for?
Permission granted.
Lay your ears back and Go.
