Life that demands a response

There has been an urgency in my spirit this whole last week and thoughts have formed in my mind that I can longer suppress. They need to be expressed or written down.

In different conversations with very different people on different continents I have come to the same conclusion over and over again:

We need to live a life that demands a response!

When people meet me on the streets, at Starbucks, in the Cafeteria or anywhere on campus, does my life demand a response? No, it does not! People are indifferent about meeting me and the things I say. Their lives are not forever transformed.

Why is that?

The only explanation that I can find is that I am not enough with Jesus. His life always demanded a response. People either hated and rejected him or they loved him and accepted his message.

How can people be apathetic about what I say and the way I live my life? It lies in the fact that I am not enough with Him yet because if I were, they could no longer be indifferent.

It is time that people start to either hate me or accept the God of the universe who lives inside of me!

How different would this world look like? This nation? This campus? People would actually live lives that demanded a response because they are constantly with Jesus.

My university should either be loved or hated but not accepted, it should be a thorn in the side of California because the life of this university demands a response.

Am I living this life? No, I am far from it but I desire nothing more than this life that demands a response. Not because I desire a response but because I want to be with Jesus all the time.

Just be! Forget about doing things for him, cease from all my work and just be with him and let him do in me, through me, with me whatever might bring most glory to HIM and His Name!

Let us live this Life that demands a response-the life our Savior lived!
