Will you ask God to bring you to the place where you're willing to be willing? - Johnny Hunt...
Meaning of willing ready, eager, or prepared to do something.
We located thirty verses in the Bible that point us to the word willing.
When I began to search my heart and ask am I willing … My thought drifted here. Am I a willing messenger for Christ? Do I share His love with anyone that comes within six-foot proximity of my personal space? If we have learned anything from Covid six feet apart seemed the magical number… Not really… There was more… always more to do…. more to share…
How much is enough?? Are we willing to listen? Are we willing to act? Just how much are we willing to sacrifice? It seems so simple. Yet so difficult to accomplish… When we deal with people, we seem to have too many choices? So many variables?
How can we become more? How do we as messengers know if our message falls into willing hearts? As I tried to unravel this word it seems that my heart got in the way and pointed my soul to a love that was willing…Willing to give me His all… Everything!! To the very last drop of His own blood. His last dying breath… He was willing to act…He was willing to love me for who I am. He was willing to sacrifice everything for my future, my love, and my heart...
I will admit He invaded my personal space… But was it truly an invasion? Or did I willingly surrender my heart?? At first, I did not understand the magnitude of His greatness?? I did not understand the depth of His love… Growing to know Him has made His sacrifice personal… And to think He willingly went to that degree for me… How can I match that kind of love…? Many say that it’s impossible!!
I am finding that we are so limited in our earthly bodies… But our soul can move our heart in ways we do not truly understand… Can we soulfully love Him deeper than anyone that walks upon this earth? Spiritually speaking, I am so willing to try… Are you willing to join me?
It does take commitment and a willing heart… But the rewards are heavenly…
It's Him. It's always Him…
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5
No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:18
Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a whole heart, they had offered freely to the Lord. David, the king, also rejoiced greatly. 1 Chronicles 29:9 ESV
Take from among you a contribution to the Lord. Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord's contribution: gold, silver, and bronze; Exodus 35:5
