Common {Five Minute Friday}

November 10, 2016 By mollieh02 12 Comments

I have often wished there was a cure for the common life while growing up.  It wasn’t until I grew up and met Jesus that I learned that there is exactly one cure for the common life.  You have to bury yourself so far inside the heart of God that the common world can’t find you there because they have no access to it.

The life I live is not common.  It is extraordinary!  Think about it.  I get to walk through my days talking to the God who created the entire world whenever I want.  I get to lift my eyes to the Heavens and draw on His wisdom.  I get to open this book that is full of love letters He wrote just for me and learn more about His heart every day.  I get to walk out a purpose in my life that was ordained by God Almighty Himself.  I don’t have all the answers, but I know enough to get through this one day and still be walking towards Him instead of away from Him when the day is done.  That is the key to the uncommon life.  Walking towards God, always.

There is one simple step to start this extraordinary life.  Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  Confess your sins and invite Jesus to live in your heart.  Then give up the wheel and let Him steer for awhile.  The road may be bumpy at times, but it will always be worth it when you are riding with Jesus.

 

 

Godspeed,

Mollie <3

    Love this uncommon life, and it’s a joy to journey through it with amazing people like yourself! Especially this: “That is the key to the uncommon life. Walking towards God, always.” I wrote that in my journal for today. Thank you! Blessings to you, Mollie!

    Mollie,
    beautiful! You have made walking with Jesus so inviting and affectionate in this five minute offering. (And you’ve definitely gifted us with focusing us on what we have-instead of what we lack.)
    Thank you for a positive, encouraging post. What a blessing to be right next to you on FMF this week!
    Love,
    Tammy

    Mollie, I will echo Julie’s observation of your genius…the key to the uncommon life is always walking toward God. Bravo!

    Mollie-
    I have missed you and the FMF ladies! I felt drawn back to blogging today. And here are the people…here are the women (and a few men) who write about Our Good Good Father! I love you post today. Thank you for making me smile big tonight. Time for PJs and football. Love, Jenn
