Outpouring of the Holy Spirit

How far am I willing to follow Jesus?
Can I follow Him into the boat when I see the storm clouds across the sea of Galilee coming? Can I follow Him in quiet obedience when He says "Get in the boat"?
"If you're willing to get in the boat with Jesus, you believe that at the appointed time in your storm and not before He will say, 'Peace, be still' and all the clouds will stop sending their bolts against you."
- John Piper

Surrender

I feel like the reason why we have such hard times surrendering our all to God is because of deeply set fears that once our all is given, God won't be enough to fill us. When I try to take control of my own life and refuse to trust in the Spirit's leading, perhaps I should ask myself if I fully trust in God's faithfulness.

How Great

I'm so bored of little gods while standing on the edge of something large. While standing here so close to you, we could be consumed.

Jesus, I come to you broken.
