That last week I preached on something that will forever change the way I look at the word “Love.”

Everywhere I go, the word Love is thrown around like a football or baseball, making it’s worth decline by the minute. And although not everyone takes advantage of this words power, very few say it with the understanding of it’s true potential.

The same breath we use to say, “I Love Jesus,” is the same breath we use to say, “I Love Cake.” I highly doubt that cake has the same substantial worth as our Lord and Savior. So why do we use the same descriptive word for both?

Kobe Bryant:

• Position: Guard ▪ Height: 6-6 ▪ Weight: 200 lbs.
• Born: August 23, 1978 (Age 33) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• High School: Lower Merion in Ardmore, Pennsylvania
• Draft: Charlotte Hornets, 1st round (13th pick, 13th overall), 1996 NBA Draft
• NBA Debut: November 3, 1996
• Age: 33 years, 149 days ▪ Experience: 15 years.

The reality is: You can know everything about Kobe, but you still don’t know Kobe. You’re just a fan. And my conviction is how many of us treat Jesus the same way.

Three months ago I ran into a 33-year-old homeless man named Mike Rowe. He had been living on the streets of Newport Beach after losing his job in electronic sales, and although Mike didn’t necessarily look homeless, the outside appearance couldn’t hide the true brokenness emerging within him.

After a couple minutes of honest conversation, I came to find that Mike was a believer, a Christ follower, and someone who truly believed in the priceless provision of our Lord and Savior. He kept stating, “God has a plan! I know God has a plan.” And even though Mike was at his lowest of lows, he knew His father was sitting at the highest of highs.

Romans 12:1-2 - And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

This passage of scripture paints a beautiful depiction of a Christ-follower.

Today in my study time, I began to postulate something of substantial worth. It’s something i’ve always known to be true, but never took the time to actually excavate it’s  potency towards my own life.

1) What did I learn?

2) What did I accomplish?

3) Where am I headed next? 

For most of us these are the questions we ask ourselves at the end of each year, looking back over the past and wondering if we made an impact or accomplished anything of substantial worth.

This post is being written from a different state, city, and coffee shop than the rest of my posts. And quite frankly, it’s what truly inspired me to write this.

I’ve come to realize that throughout my life, God seems to work most evidently when I am out of my comfort zone, uncomfortable, and not complacent.Why? Because in my own personal discomfort I rely on God’s comfort and guidance.

It’s easy to live life in “Safe-Mode,” but is that what God intended? I’d have to say no…
