I am so thankful for a wife and for friends that I can be blunt honest with. Usually the immediate interpretation to “being blunt honest” reads “sharing all my deep dark hidden sins and secrets.”
Well, that’s true, but that’s not what I mean…
I am talking about being honest with my goals, dreams and desires for life and for life in God.
I want to love Jesus so well. I want to love him with everything that I have. I want more than just to say I love Jesus and to pray on occasion but I really want to love Him through the Word. I want the Bible to be alive in my heart. I want to have deep communing prayer. I want to be a man on fire for God.
We were made to fly. Don’t apologize for, shy back from, or regret anything you do that gives you wings.
Do you need to share your longing to live for something eternal to someone that will push you off that cliff you’ve been standing at?

This is good!! It makes me think of “blessed are the pour in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” I studied that verse in the Greek and this is what I came up with: “Blessed are those who are caused to fly away in the breeze, for they shall be elevated to the abode of God.”
Sometimes it is hard to find those people who will push you off the cliff or encourage you to leave everything to rise higher with Jesus. But abiding with Christ is the only thing that satisfies the soul.
