How to Live Your One & Only Beautiful Life…The one Right there in Your Hands?

The only decision you really ever have to make every day is  – how will you grow your one and only life that’s right there in your hands? 

Because: 

Whatever you give your attention to grows. 

And you really are meant to live your one life to the full — and yeah, don’t you know it: 

The only decision you really ever have to make every day is  – how will you grow your one and only life that’s right there in your hands? 

Not the self-help, loud flashy spiel about how to remake- your- life- in-only!! 5!! days!!, or the cheap tinny made-in-la-la-land version of life that rings more than a bit hollow when you dip into a valley of the shadow of deep sadness and real loss. 

You’re more than just meant to live life to the full – you actually get to .

You actually get to breathe in the clean, rarified air of expansive freedom, and sink down into rest long enough to taste the savoring richness of grace, and feel yourself unwind and lean right back into a Love that always has your back. 

You actually get to be safe to honestly feel all that you feel, and be brutally honest about how the sharp raw edge of this busted old world has cut the tender underside of your heart and you don’t have to bravely pretend otherwise. 

Because it’s actually more brave to grow into a life where the tears of all your feelings water your soul into an honest and whole way of being in this world, that is holy and wholly human. 

Discontent comes from being disconnected from the lives of each other, and disconnected from life in the Vine of Life Himself. 

You actually could get to live the kind of life that bravely digs around and excavates along the edges of your life to see with your own tired eyes, how the roots of all kinds of tender discontent comes from being disconnected. 

Discontent comes from being disconnected from the lives of each other, and disconnected from life in the Vine of Life Himself.  

Where in the world do we all keep going that ultimately leaves us disconnected and low-grade discontent? 

Go to the noisy watering holes of culture, go to the weedy, tangled headlines of the day, go to the filtered streams of curated socials, and, turns out, the thing is: All kinds of words can numb and end up leaving you for dead. 

But where in the whole actual world can we really go to grow our one and only life to Life, and into life to the full?

When life is really tender, all you really have to do is just connect to the only One who has the Words of real Life. 

In all the cosmos:

There is only One to whom we can go who has the Words of real life, the forever real life . (John 7)

When life is really tender, all you really have to do is just connect to the only One who has the Words of real Life. 

The One who is Life lifts your chin, cups your face, finds your eyes right now and whispers: 

“The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and LIFE.” (John 6:63).

So maybe there’s a real possibility….

That the one decision the heart really has to make every day is:

In all this wearying, whirling world, will you just go to the only One who is Life and let Him love you to Life, right there in His reaching, love-scarred hands?

Come grow with me?
