I want to encourage you who are feeling a urge to do more. Those of you who are not satisfied with the life you are living and feel a passion and excitement to do more. I hope that would be most of you. Just know that when you start living it out it is a lot harder to keep the passion. But God is always faithful. Often though we begin loosing the passion for His will that we once had. But just know that God allows that to test if we have the commitment to Him and His will or if we are just acting on an emotion. Be careful that you do not loose that passion for doing more! Often people get that excitement but when they face the reality of God's plan for their life, they back down. The excitement you have is so good but it cannot be the reason you seek to do great things through God. They must be based on a solid commitment to the things of Christ and not just a feeling inside you. Because believe me, that feeling will not always be there when you follow God. But if you then press through the times when you want nothing other than to forget his will and live your own life your way, God will then use you for His greatness because you have showed that you care more for His will than for your own interests! And then you will begin to see what it means to die to yourself, when after following Gods will as it is written in the bible, you start to see His plan for your life, and then you realize that you want the opposite. But instead of falling away, you ignore the lust of the flesh and submit to Him. And this will be the hardest thing you do. Which is why almost all of North American "Christians" do not do it. God calls us to PERFECTION. That is not possible for us. And it is so much more than going to church and staying out of trouble. The only way it can be possible is if there is nothing left of us, and that is exactly what God wants for us. Read John 3:30 and Galatians 2:20. God is not selfish in any way! But He is so perfect and we are fallen. So the best thing for us is to become less like us. And as we do He is able to fill us with Him, which is far better for us! But that all goes back to being committed to His will when we want want to be doing any thing but it. Submission is never something you want to do or enjoy doing. That is made obvious by society. But we are not of this world. At least we should not be.

love you all.
