When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.

...we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.

Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.

Because when you’re wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.

The world is not moved by love or actions that are of human creation. And the church is not empowered to live differently from any other gathering of people without the Holy Spirit. But when believers live in the power of the Spirit, the evidence in their lives is supernatural. The church cannot help but be different, and the world cannot help but notice.
