Do we know what it really means to call ourselves Christians? I don't believe that to be true for 90% of people claiming that privilege.
Labelling myself a Christian, a Disciple of Jesus, a Christ-follower, etc., should always serve as a challenging reminder that we are called to follow Jesus wherever He requires us to be and do whatever He requires of us.
My life is not my own. It hasn't been that way since I gave it to Jesus, and even more so since I accepted my calling into full-time ministry. But sometimes I try orchestrate my own destiny, when my life is not my own to orchestrate. When I do that, I forget that I've asked Jesus to be the Boss of my life. In those moments, I lose focus, purpose, drive and joy.
Following Jesus has been the best and greatest decision I have ever made. The times I've let Him direct my path, have been the greatest adventures and growth points in my life. I am reminded of this again and therefore, once again, resign myself to the will of Jesus. He is the Boss.
As O. Chambers puts it, "We must get to the point of being sick to death of ourselves, until there is no longer any surprise at anything God might tell us about ourselves".
Will you resign yourself to the will of Jesus, allow Him to be the Boss and take you on the most amazing adventure you could ever dream of?
