“That’s why I urge you to pray for absolutely everything, ranging from small to large. Include everything as you embrace this God-life, and you’ll get God’s everything.” Mark 11: 24 The Message

Do you really want everything …?

God wants it for you … He designed you for His everything … everything that you would need to know and to  live securely in His love. That’s why He is so patient in your life. The bumps and bruises … the broken places … the smooth places … the uncertain places … the fearful places … the take-it-for-granted places … the healed places … the sure places and the unanswered places.  Your everything will only make sense in Jesus or it will not be worth holding onto. If there are places out of joint … your heavenly Father is relentlessly and tenderly making all those places whole in you. For instance: Jesus said that your house (your inside life) was to be a house of prayer … is it? For instance: Jesus said that you were to live your life generously … are  you? For instance: Jesus said that your real work is simply believing He is who He says He is … are you trusting Him today? He really does want the “everythings” of your life today. He really does want you to find your purpose … your place … and your whole life living freely in Him. He really will be all that He says He is in your life today if you will let him … really! It only takes a moment …

“For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels — everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him.” Colossians 1:16 The Message
