"He called his name Gershom, for he said, 'I have been a stranger in a foreign land.'" --Exodus 2:22

All-Consuming Fire
I once had a list of goals and landmarks I planned to reach in my life. Among them were publishing anthologies of poetry, going skydiving, owning a home and a car, getting married, and running a marathon. I've dumped all that. I have only one enduring goal. And that is to fall more in love with my savior. The one who laid his life down and poured himself out until death and held nothing back. The only enduring legacy I would really want to leave is that I loved him to the end. Real love too. Not just the words. And if that means dying out without having accomplished anything in this world's eyes then so be it. I don't care. I wasn't made for publishing anthologies of poetry, going skydiving, or running in marathons. I was made for a singular purpose. And that is to love and adore the Lord Jesus Christ and to worship him alone. Hang all the rest of it, if need be. I want nothing else.
