Sometimes life allows for periods of time where we are acutely aware of our purpose and direction. Other times we wonder whether our grand plans and huge vision that we often dream about will ever come to pass. Much of this internal struggle for significance is rooted in fears that we have become bound by and notions about ourselves that we believe far more readily than what God tells us is true about our standing with Him. The truth is that we are alive in Christ. Being alive in Christ allows us to lean into the love of Christ and be released to love like Christ. No period of life regardless of its potential trials or joys is beyond this call to embrace and embody His love. This life will come alive only as we live as one who has been made alive.
