“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
It’s easy to become comfortable and to build our life around our preferences.
I believe God calls us to live differently.
Christ’s love is a compelling love. His love is active. Moving. Outward focused.
The love of Christ, ignited in our hearts cannot remain quiet. It cannot remain stagnant.
It is a compelling force that changes our focus, our priorities and the direction of our life.
Christ’s love compels us to sacrifice.
Christ’s love calls us out of our comfort zone.
Out of convenience.
Christ’s love compels us to live for something greater than ourselves.
Christ’s love compels us to forgo our own preferences with the hope of seeing others embrace Christ, to be eternally changed by his compelling love.
