Curious
Faith! Something
peculiar, different,
something deserving of investigation, something decidedly unsettling.
Have
you
ever wondered what your life and the lives of those around you might
look like
if we truly and sincerely opened ourselves to the life changing message
of the
gospel? How would
that openness change
you? How would you
live
differently? How
would you approach each
day?
If
you are
anything like me you have probably asked those questions and added an
additional “What would I have to change or give
up?” or “What would I lose?”
This
year
we are going to be challenged to live a Curious Faith, to live a life
surrendered and open to the life changing message of the Gospel. How will your life change? I honestly do not know,
but I believe that a
life fully surrendered undergoes both a subtle and sometimes radical
transformations into the likeness of Christ.
When we live lives fully surrendered we receive
Godly hope and
perspective that alters who we are and gives hope and perspective to
those
around us. When we
live a curious,
peculiar, different faith, one worthy of investigation, one that is
unsettling,
we begin to see our world change in both subtle and radical way for
Jesus.
Can we
develop this sort of Curious Faith?
I’m
curious
to find out…how about you?
