Limitless...

I was just having a conversation with Heather and Blaine about the Awakening conference that PHCF put on last August, and she was telling us that the theme of that was "limitless"...letting God be who is in our lives, not putting him in a box, etc.
That kind of sparked something in me just now. What is it to be limitless with God?
Our God, by definition, is limitless. We can't put Him in a box. Blaine was talking about pushing the boundaries with our relationship with God, and going deeper with Him, constantly, and not being satisfied to stay in a static state.
That is one thing that I have been challenged with even in the week I've been here, is living in a limitless relationship with God. Dreaming big, believing big, having faith in the awesome God and allowing my relationship with Him to be one of no limits. This church is living that - they bought the Thunderbird Inn...and this place is being transformed into a ministry center! PHCF chose to live in a limitless relationship with God.
I've seen this in other places too. People telling stories of God providing them with things they hadn't told anyone they needed, for example. God can and does do miracles.
My heart is to learn how to dream big with God. Have Him implant His heart into my heart - and dream the radical. What does God want for the youth of Port Hardy? What boundary-stretching, limitless plans does He have? My job is to allow and believe God to do limitless things in my life, and in the lives that I affect. I find myself asking the question, "In what way can I live a limitless life with God? Where in my life have I put limits on my relationship with God? Why are these limits there - past experiences, or a lack of these types of limitless experiences with God?"
God once showed me a picture of a door frame with a curtain over it. The curtain fluttered, and all I could see was dark space, an unknown I guess. But I felt like I was standing at the doorway, and behind the curtain was a life with God more amazing, more exhilerating, more intimate and Spirit-filled and -led than I'd ever known or imagined. This concept of limitless taps into that, I guess.

So I ask you: are you living a limitless relationship with God, where you allow the greatness and the magnitude of God, and His heart for His people, to affect, guide, and transform your life? I challenge you to walk with no limits - no cap on what God can do and wants to do - for the benefit of your life, and for those around you. Dream big for yourself, and for others' lives! Jesus talked about life to the fullest, about abundant life. I think that living a limitless life with God is living abundantly with Him! Don't be afraid to dream big - God is a magnificent, awesome God, and He can do the impossible - and even the improbable.

  1. Sharon, I love what you have written here. We need to strive each and every day to be all that we can be in Christ. To not be disracted by the world, but to live each day for Christ. To serve and please Him. Becasue He is worthy.
