What are the obstacles that Jesus asks you to leave behind?
What are the obstacles that Jesus asks you to leave behind?
Leave Your Homeland When God called Abraham to be the father of a new nation, he told him to leave his homeland for another place that would be shown to him. Every call from God is an invitation to leave something so that we might be free for something else. What we are asked to "leave" is usually an attitude which restricts our possibilities for greater life. We are invited to free ourselves up, to grow, to be open to a broader vision of life, a broader vision of love. When Jesus calls us to friendship, he asks us to leave the obstacles to the call, whatever they might be. At this present moment in your life, what are the obstacles that Jesus asks you to leave behind? I have heard your call to friendship, Lord, but I haven't always been quick to answer you. My selfishness stands in the way, and it has compromised my freedom. I have preferred my old ways to the newness of your Spirit, and so I have missed the fullness of your friendship. But it is not too late, Lord, for your invitation to friendship is constant. Thank you. May I love enough to respond to the many ways in which you invite me. Focus Your Day
