Verse<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t love the world\u2019s ways. Don\u2019t love the world\u2019s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world\u2014wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important\u2014has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out\u2014but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity. (1 John 2:15-17 MSG)<\/p>\n

My Word or Phras<\/strong>e
\nWorld’s Way vs. God’s Way<\/p>\n

My Image<\/strong>
\nThe world’ sway is like being trapped in a sphere. You are free to move around and interact with the things in the sphere but you are unable to interact with all the things that are outside the sphere. God’s way is the vastness of things outside the sphere. <\/p>\n

My Invitation<\/strong>
\nMy invitation is to not limit or confine myself to the world’s ways (being trapped in the sphere) rather I need to be engaged in the plans and blessings God has for me not only working inside the sphere but wandering the vastness of His space outside the sphere.<\/p>\n
