The Future You

What kind of life do you want—a safe, predictable one or a story filled with mystery that forces you to lean into God? Which do you think will transform you into a person of depth and wisdom? Which life will people remember and talk about around campfires a hundred years from now?

Now is the time to begin becoming the future you.

How does that happen? Commit to spending your life pursuing what God created you to be and do. Raising a family. Investing in your passion. Chasing your dreams. In all of it, God’s primary goal isn’t to teach you lessons. He’s a Father who teaches, not a Teacher who fathers. And a Father’s deepest desire is to invite his sons and daughters into a more intimate relationship. Which means God didn’t primarily create us so we would do things for him. Or even to learn lessons about him. His primary reason for creating us is so we can be with him.

So be that. Be a teacher. Be a poet. Be a basketball player. Be a ballerina. Be a spouse. Be a parent. Be whatever he is inviting you into—just do it with him.
