I don't want to walk with God anymore.
There. I said it.
I'm just kinda fed up with the whole thing. I've been doing it for years and I've just had enough. It was fine for a while, but, to be perfectly honest, I just feel like I've outgrown that stage in my life and I'm ready for something else. So I decided to come on this podcast and make a public announcement: I really don't want to walk with God anymore.
... I want to RUN.
Walking is for newbies and slowpokes. I want to pick up the pace and kick it into high gear. I want to stop strolling and start sprinting. I want to snuff out "This little light of mine" and replace it with a raging, dangerous, pyroclastic wildfire. I don't want a casual relationship with the Savior; I want intense blazing intimacy. What I'm trying to say is, I'm hungry for MORE: More light, more heat, more holiness, more boldness, more love. More JESUS.
I don't want an easy, safe, meandering kind of faith -- a casual stroll in the park kind of faith. I want a tightrope-over-Chicago-with-no-net kind of faith. A lactic-acid-all-over-the-next-morning kind of faith. I want to sprint to the end, I want to finish hard, I want to cast off every hindrance and the sin that so easily entangles and run the race set out for me. I want to press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
No more walking for me.
I want to RUN.
"One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 3:13-14)
