Challenge of A Lifetime!

Luke,
When I hear things that make me look at Jesus differently, I want to share them with you.  I think when we grow up in a Christian home, we forget how BIG God's grace is to us and how undeserving we are of Him.  An easy tendency we can fall into is making Jesus an accessory in our life to help us "get through" it-- picking Him up when it is convenient or when we have time, or when we are in trouble, or when the stakes for speaking out are low.  Luke, I challenge you to make Jesus ALL of your life and then it won't just be "getting through" to the next thing, it will be a ride of a lifetime!  We talk about Moses, and David, and Paul and what courageous men they became in life, but the truth is, they are no different than you are- their God is our God.  Be bold, be different, walk in the Lord, have secret moments with him, share your heart, cry out to Him, question Him, make the most of the time you have here with Him and KNOW Him.  Find a man who does this well and practice faith like he does... it isn't easy and it isn't our nature, but you can find practical ways to "put on your new self" if you are just willing to work for it.  Do it for no one else but you, and I guarantee you a life worth living!

I love you, Luke-- you have no bigger prayer warrior on your side than me!  I want my family for God because I want you to be blessed!
