I can’t even tell you how Wrecked, this book, wrecked my world.
Wrecked by Jeff Goins
As Christians, we’re not supposed to actually admit that. We’re supposed to be content in all circumstances and all that. It’s eyebrow-raising to admit you’re feeling a hole in your heart or soul. Yet, I feel like that all the time. And, yes, it’s a different feeling than that God-shaped hole the Bible thumpers hawk to the unsaved heathens. I’ve been there too. I was one of those.
The tagline: When A Broken World Slams into Your Comfortable Life. Do you feel it too? The status quo has never been comfortable for me. But fear does hold me back. I have responsibilities. I have a husband and kids. I homeschool. I write. I have deadlines.
I have a past. It doesn’t define who I am anymore, but it’s there nonetheless.
This book is a phenomenal call to action for Christians to dig out of their fear holes and do something meaningful. It can be small. It can be seemingly insignificant. But God sees. Lives will be touched. Mountains will be moved. Just act. Just do something. Quit dreaming about that something and sitting paralyzed in fear. Prioritize. Figure out what you can do. There’s a whole broken world outside your office window or front door just waiting for you to act.
What is true compassion? Get out of your comfort zone and stop being so selfish and self-centered and go do something for Jesus. Make it sooner rather than later.
Everything you now do was once something scary and new. Are you gonna sit around in complacency forever? Be salt. Be light.
I’m not saying you should quit your job and leave your spouse and kids to run off to Africa, but do something within your messy little world to make a difference for somebody else.
Pray.
Focus.
Go. Do that.
Nothing matters from the past. What matters is the future.
