I found a book online this morning called "Surprise Me". I wonder if I've already been a part of the 30-day faith experiment portrayed in this book, and I haven't even read it! So now I will.
From the author's website:
"Surprise me, God. What if you started the net 30 days with those three words? No agendas, no plans other than waiting on God with eager anticipation of what is about to happen next."
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I find I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Cause Your love is extravagant
Chorus:
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I find I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Your love is extravagant
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
"Had this been real life, you would have been instructed where to go and what to do."
This is a great reminder that life is not just about going to work and learning in school, but also about growing, living and loving. Growing in your personal relationships, living each day to its fullest and loving others in the same way Christ loves us. Each part of your day--the commute to work, your walk to class, the man or woman you ordered coffee from at your favorite morning pit-stop, the computer that crashes, your phone that dropped that very important call--is part of a test, a really big test. This test will be graded one day to determine who you are, and what you're made of.
What grade will you get?
