BOM

I have been in pursuit over many things in my life, girls, laughs, jobs, my wife, and even criminals. And through almost all of those times I was never in a pursuit of God. There were a lot of times when I doubted God, or strayed, or put him on the back burner, but… He was always in pursuit of me. He never gave up on me. He came for me in good times, and carried me through the bad times. He was always there. More importantly when I finally realized what was going on, I didn’t have a long chase to catch God because He had just been waiting for me to stop running. Now the tide has turned, I actively try and pursue a relationship with Him, and you know what? My life has gotten better because of my relationship with Him.

To those of you who are still running, let God catch you, because one way or another He will.

Psalm 139 7-12

Take a knee.  When we get knocked down, when we go through struggles and when we hit a wall what do we do, we take a knee.  We take a knee not because we are weak but because at that time we take it to Jesus.  And then we get up, no matter what we get up and we keep moving forward.

But when we can’t get up on our own?  We as men are usually told asking for help is a sign of weakness.  I don’t believe that, I think not asking for help when you need it is the sign of weakness.  A true HIM knows he can’t do everything on his own and there is a time when he needs is Father in Heaven, and his friends.  Jesus said in John 15:12-14 “My command is this, love each other.  Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for their friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command”

There is no doubt that Jesus paid the ultimate debt and gave his life for us, and I don’t think he meant for us to just give up our lives for our friends.  But it does mean we need to make sacrifices and give up our time, talent, treasures, etc, in order to be with a friend in need and left them up.  I think we can all think of a friend who might need a hand.  I encourage each of you to send them a message, give them a call, take them to lunch, and help them stand up and keep moving forward.
