What If

What if...

Ive been thinking about this for the last couple weeks. All the "What If's" we use in life, give use this false sense that we are in pursuit of something more but we really aren't. We use "What If" to dream, we use "What If" to get ourselves to do something different or change, we say "What If" to get people to take notice, we use "What If" to raise issues, we use "What If" to threaten, we use "What If" to give hope...

The more I think about "What If" the more I hate it!

"What If" means nothing. "What If" is this magical saying that we use sometimes to make ourselves feel good. Most of the time we know that we say it with good intentions but nothing will ever come of it. "What If" is a crutch!

Without Purpose/Action/Follow Through "What If's" DIE!

You want to make your "What If" happen?? Be convicted about it, let God move your heart so much that you have no choice but to do something about it.

I listen to people all the time that say this... "I just told myself I wasn't going to do that again..." or this "I made up my mind that this time it would be different..." Intentions are fine... but without your heart changing your mind isn't enough to bring about a change of course!

Without your heart involved your "What If's" will never happen. If your heart was where it needed to be already then you wouldn't need to say "What If", it would already be done!

Purpose + Conviction + Action = dead "What Ifs" & a heart that is ready to make a difference!

If you are a Christ Follower then you have a purpose in this life... to reach out to others and share with them about the unconditional love that God has for them. You have a deep seeded passion to make a difference, a conviction unlike anything youve ever felt. Faith without works is dead... go and do... no more "What Ifs."

Do you have "What If's" in your life? How can you turn those into something tangible? How can you start working towards making your "What If's" happen?
