sacrifice. Rest, Play, Financial Security, Health. They all require
sacrifice. There is a push and a pull in every area of our life. The
push is the holy discontent. "Something needs to change here." "This
just ain't working." There is also a pull. It usually looks like a
dream of how it could be different.
I have felt it recently with working out. First off, I don't yet
enjoy running and lifting. I do it so I can better compete at
whatever sport I am playing. My pull is my desire to play better, the
dream of being the best softball player the world has ever seen. The
push is how after I run from home to second on a double I know that
that from second to home will end in me throwing up. It's my nickname
at the YMCA, "puker." Now that is a push.
I see this in my relationship with God too. The push in areas of my
life that I am not satisfied with and the pull of the holy spirit
dreaming for me a new way of looking at it, dealing with it, living in
it.
Wonder in what areas of your life you feel the spirit of God pushing
and pulling you.
