I’ve been sharing some thoughts about getting out of the boxes we put ourselves in. Boxes that keep us from the abundant life Jesus came to give us. Boxes that keep us from doing the good works he put us here to do. I’ve urged you to ask God to give you a vision of what he wants you to do and then stop making excuses. Break out of your boxes!

I want to share some of the things I’ve learned and am learning along the way as I’ve stepped out of my box to follow God’s leading in my life.

Remember this when it comes to pursuing your passion and getting out of your box: If you don’t go for it, it will fade, and you’ll miss the blessing. Use it or lose it. If you don’t pursue it, not only will you miss the blessing in this life, but you’ll also miss the reward in eternity. And the more you pursue your passion, the more ability and gifts you will have to accomplish it. God is not going to waste talents on you if you’re not going to use them. He’s waiting to see if you are serious about pursuing the passion he has put inside you.

For the sake of the Kingdom of Christ and the glory due to Jesus Christ, stop putting yourself in a box which prevents you from the good works God has planned for you to do. When you get out of that box, you will move into the abundant life Jesus promised for those who love him.
