"Itis at the sunrise that I feel the presence of God. That I am overwhelmed by his presence."
Motivation.
With the proper motivation, I believe I can do everything. We can do anything.
But motivation isn't so easily to come, especially when you start to tack on all the stresses of daily life.
The strangest things can bring motivation too. The undeniable desire to succeed. The love of money. The hope for the better of others. Creating the best life for our next generation. The need to prove something. A stubborn desire to complete.
These burn out.
We, as Christ followers, have the biggest motivating factor, a desperation.
The urgency to share the gospel to every living being before its too late.
If you're like me, most days this is just a pretty sentence with a good goal. According to my recent learnings, we could label this a BHAG. (Big Hair Audacious Goal). Something simple and understandable. It hits you in the gut and keeps you up at night. Its easy to get on board with. We must share the gospel in new, exciting, and relevant ways.
Yet many days I struggle the most. I lack the motivation. I lack discipline. I give into discouragement. I give into hopelessness.
If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won.
We have the biggest enemy. Sometimes, I just need to be reminded about "who the real enemy is" as quoted from Mocking Jay.
Who we are fighting against, and who we are fighting for.
This reminder forces me to remember that it is for Christ, and Christ alone. Let us join together in the fight.
