Over the holiday I received an early Christmas gift a new I pod. As I have played with it and learned how it works I have discovered the world of podcasting. Ransomed Heart now has podcasting available and they have placed a lot of good material there. I was listening this morning to the Sacred Romance conference that they did back in 02 and I was shocked at how much I have forgotten and forget on a daily basis. I get so caught up in the requirements of my job, being a husband and a father and everything else that seems so important that I begin to live out of a life of duty (I am not saying that being a husband and father is not wonderful for it is) and forget the great romance that God has called me (and you) up into. I forget that we were born for paradise and not this world as it is now we now. That God cares about whats on my heart, that I need to care about whats on my heart even if it means that some task does not get done. I forget that God has called me (and you) to play an important part in his story. Not the main part for that is his role but an important part none the less. I urge you this morning to take some time out and remember what is true about your life today. That God has redeemed our wicked heart and replaced it with a heart that is good and true(the new covenant), that our life is a romance and adventure with God as the hero of the story and that life is not about tips and techniques or sin management but of walking with God as a friend and allie. That is what is true. That is what must be remembered.
