1Word.
1Word.
Jul 27Tonight I twittered & facebook’d the following challenge:
ONE WORD CHALLENGE:
What has Jesus called you to BE today? Answer w/ one word. Include hashtag: #1Word … respond & retweet. Ready? GO!
There have been some amazing WORDS submitted by ALL of you!
Here’s the list (so far)…
Honest | Compassionate | Dependent | Yielded | Love | Serving | Missionary | Whole | Censored | Free | Life | Simple | Flexible | Alive | Creative | Patient | Awake | Fearless | Captivated | Brave | New | Witness | Faithful | Available | Strong | Restored | Diligent | Kind | Christlike | Passionate | Humble | Selfless | Present | Steadfast | Obedient | Aware | Believing | Patient | Zealous | Courageous | Quiet | Sane | Prepared | Found | Awesome | Wise | Healed | REAL
This IS great! What powerful words! Notice that the question was what does Jesus want you to BE (rather than ‘do’)? He always wants you to BE something before you DO something. That’s so key for our lives…
Challenge: allow these words to provoke you the next time you’re alone with God – perhaps He will speak through someone else & expose or illuminate something in your life! That would be awesome! I KNOW I’ve, personally, already been encouraged & stretched just writing this blog!
Look for MORE 1Word Challenges (via Twitter/Facebook) in days & weeks to come! What? You don’t follow me yet? C’mon, it’s easy & FUN! Simply click: TWEET and/or FACE - there you go! Social media can be a great tool – use it but never let it use you!
I love posts like this! And, hey, IF you don’t want to tweet or facebook it – you can still join by leaving your ONE WORD in the comments below!
Peace, Chilly
*feel free to also comment about something God spoke to you through someone else’s ONE WORD… subscribe to the comments for this post to continue the conversation!
Wow – what great words! I answered your question with “new”, and as I was reading the list, what stuck out to me was “honest”, but not because it was first. A realization that came to me was that I seem to be honest about everything except myself, especially with God. Then when I was continuing to read the list and I got to “restored”, that one messed me up. I definitely need to BE restored today, by BEing honest with Him, so I can BE new! Thank you. This really helped me.
im just going to say being honest with myself concerning the addiction problem is hard. i praise God for deliverance but im not always honest with myself about that. its like im in denial i still have triggers and i need to daily renew my mind. honestly!
selfless
That spoke to me this morning. I love the bit about ‘Being,’ before ‘Doing.’
thanks!
PRESENT
