3rd F – More

Humans are born with the instinct to strive for more.  Innovate and invent. Better ways to accomplish tasks, save time, cut costs.  More wealth and more toys.  Truth be told, most of us can likely do more in our work outs as well.  I bet if most of us were to be honest we could all run a little faster or do a few more reps.  More is a mindset.  More is very easy in some areas, or at least the motivation to more is greater.  

What if we begin to consider “more” in our spiritual life?  More time in scripture, more time in prayer, more time listening for God’s voice.  In John chapter 10 Jesus says “I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.” The Spirit wants to give us “more”, we only need to be willing to receive. 

As I write this, I am about an hour away from heading out of town to take my daughter to her first year of college seven hours away.  I know many of you have done this in the past and some are doing this year.  I am pretty certain you have all handled it better than me.  Again, I find myself wanting more.  More time with my little girl, more time to protect her, to teach her, to not have to let her go.  But I think, too, that the time for more is now.  All of these things I want more of are not going away, in fact they will likely return in a much greater way.  As we all know, life has a way of coming at you fast.  There is a lot of “more” in the future with her, especially more money.   

I don’t know if anyone needs to read this, but I do know that I needed to write it.  No matter the season of life you are in, the time for more Spirit is now.  To prepare for when the next “more’ of life arrives.
