"What I need isn’t change from one thing to another but transformation from who I am into who I was meant to become. Only when God’s transforming power touches me can I begin to live the simpler, freer, fresher, more creative, more patient, more passionate, more sacrificial, riskier, rawer, more real, more love-driven life God intended for me to have all along."

I bet if you walked up to anyone on the street and said, "I know where you can find freedom, life, hope, new direction, and transformation" they’d be interested to hear what you had to say.

I bet if you walked up to anyone you know and said, "I know how you can have a simpler, freer, fresher, more creative, more patient, more passionate life that is riskier, rawer, more real and more love-driven than anything you’ve ever experienced" they’d be all ears.

So why is it when the answer to both of these statements is God do they turn and walk away?

"The truth of the moment, if we let it sweep over us, is stunning. It means Jesus really is who he claimed to be…"

It’s not in a Tony Robbins’ book. It’s not on Dr. Phil. You can’t win it on the set of Oprah or buy it on a CD. You won’t find it in a bigger house or a faster car or sequestered away on a deserted island. It’s not going to happen overnight but it will happen…if you look in the right place.
Because the truth is that Jesus is who He claimed to be – the way, the truth and the life. It’s all there for the taking, folks. All you have to do is say yes to God. One little word. One simple thought. One life changing decision. (It almost seems too easy, doesn't it?)

Yeah, I want that…I want my life to be fuller and freer and mean more. I want to die for a reason and live for a cause. I want to jump off the edge of life and holler "Jesus" all the way down. I want to land in the arms of my Almighty Father and never look back. I want what others have. I want a Savior. I want life everlasting and forgiveness for my sins. I want to sing from the mountaintop and soar through the sky. I want the wind to carry my name for all eternity and I want the world to know that I was here and that I GOT IT.

And all I had to do was say...

yes.
