After Survive, Thrive.

Leave a comment

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.”‭‭ 1 John‬ ‭4:16‬ ‭NIV

Motives are the “why” behind the “what” of your life.

When you are soul drained, your “why” is to survive, to make it through one more day.

Survival is a good “why” but it is not meant to be your permanent state of being.

God has more for you.

He is the God of inside workings, attitude makeovers, perspective shifters.

He is the forgiving God, the wipe the slate clean and start over God.

He is the miracle-making God and the create something out of nothing God.

Your Heavenly Father created you in love, to love, and to be loved.

God so loved you that He sent His Son as a sacrifice to restore you to Himself.

He didn’t do it out of duty, He did it out of love.

He does not live out of duty but out of love and wants the same for you.

When your “why” comes from love it feeds your spirit and invigorates your soul.

May the God of the inside workings move you from surviving to thriving. May the forgiving God wipe clean the slate of the past and help you start over today. May the miracle-making God, create something out of nothing and fill you up with so much of His love that it overflows onto all those around you.

Amen.

“The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in God protects you from that.”

Proverbs 29:25 MSG

Mankind’s definition of surviving is:

  • Do whatever it takes. 
  • Grab whatever you can. 
  • Serve yourself first.
  • Learn from other’s mistakes.

God’s definition of surviving is:

  • Trust Him.
  • Give whatever you can.
  • Serve others first.
  • Learn from other’s success.

My prayer for you today is that you choose God’s way of surviving instead of yours.

His way is better (and leads to thriving).

During this time of crisis, reach out and help someone who is afraid.

“We justify our actions by appearances; GOD examines our motives.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:2‬ ‭MSG‬‬
God examines your motives because they are the “why” behind the “what”. When you are soul drained, the simplest tasks can begin to feel like heavy burdens.  You slip into auto pilot and just go through the motions.  Your “why” is to survive, to make it through one more day.

May the God of the inside workings give your attitude a makeover from duty doer to lit up lover.  May the forgiving God wipe clean the slate of the past and help you start over today.  May the miracle making God, create something out of nothing and fill you so full of His love that it overflows onto those around you.

A grasping person stirs up trouble, but trust in GOD brings a sense of well-being. If you think you know it all, you’re a fool for sure; real survivors learn wisdom from others.

Your Why

Life in this world lends itself to sucking the life out of you. Siphoning the joy. Destroying the delight.

A few heartbreaks later and your life is lived from duty and drudgery.

Sometimes survival dictates just going through the motions and living your life on auto pilot. When you are soul drained the simplest tasks begin to feel like heavy burdens.

God wants more for you.

“We justify our actions by appearances; GOD examines our motives.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:2‬ ‭MSG‬‬

God examines your motives because they are the why behind the what.

Survival is a good why to make it through hard things but it is not meant to be a permanent state of being.

God has more for you.

He is the God of the inside workings, the attitude makeovers, the perspective shifter. He is forgiving God, the wipe the slate clean and start over God. He is the miracle making God, creating something out of nothing God with just one word from His mouth.

He created you in love, to love and to be loved. God so loved that He sent His Son as a sacrifice to restore you to this love relationship.

He did not do it out of duty, He did it out of love. He does not live out of duty but out of love and wants the same for you.

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.”

You don’t have to live your life grabbing for whatever you can.

Trust God.

Work smarter, not harder.
