Building Ourselves Up

But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. This is the unending life, the real life! (Jude 1:20-21 — The Message)

This is the real life; we immerse ourselves in God, allowing Him to come in and live through us in such a way that it is hard to tell where we end and He begins. He is to be our life, not Him being just a part of our life. This is real life; this is Jesus living through us. This is how we build ourselves up and stay strong, by connecting our hearts with His daily, praying, reading His love letters to us, and most of all listening to what He says to us. All of that is real life. Live the real life daily. Get and stay connected daily with His heart.

Live intentionally, purposely, free and with passion,
