This weekend I went to a junior high youth retreat with my kiddos (the A&M UMC kids) and had a great time. The speaker has had quite a life story and I wanted to share with you the story he took us on throughout the weekend.
First: Our lives must fall apart.
This means we must realize that our lives are empty and lost without God. Once we realize that we are nothing without Him, we must
Fall out of control.
We constantly must make conscious decisions to willfully seek God's way. If we choose to continually grasp for control, we are not truly trusting God's will. Once we've let go we can
Fall in love.
Josh told us this weekend that God wrote us a love letter that shows all of his different types of love. In Genesis he is our Creator, in Exodus he is our Passover Lamb, in Numbers he is our Manna, in Leviticus he is our High priest.... Once we have fallen in love with our God, then we can
"Fall"ow his ways.
I pray that we love others to Christ and take his love with us wherever we go. Leave a legacy of love.
Falling

I like that... love other to Christ. Changes the connotation in a more direct way than "love others because of Christ," or "love others in Christ."
