Your Why?

Ok... so you want something. You have a goal to achieve or gain something out of life. The question is, "WHY?" What is the answer that will get you up off the couch and out of rut you find yourself in? What is it that will empower you to overcome the things that have roadblocked your life till now? Have you ever wondered WHY someone would climb the highest mountain, dive the deepest seas? Have you ever wondered WHY someone was able to go from obese to a healthy weight? What is it that has to change for us to overcome? What is it that we need to do to achieve? What is your big WHY? What would the answer be? It could be as simple as the need to be alive and to provide for the family. If could be as simple as the need to help others in this world. It would be that you are actually CALLED to be something more than you are presently living out. In speaking with someone recently who was dealing with being morbidly obese, they said that they were unable to be effective in life because of their weight. The answer... the Body is a temple of the Lord and they are not honoring the lord by the bondage of obesity. When we look at the things that hold us in bondage we have to understand that we have been given authority to break strongholds and overcome the bondage this world tries to lock us in. What does it really take to live our your why? A choice... a simple decision that the things that hold you back no longer own you. No longer take authority over you. Is this an easy task? No... it is hard and is a journey. But, if your why is strong enough... the reasons... you will climb your highest mountain, you will dive your deepest sea and you will overcome those things that seem to be in charge of your life. You can do it... You CAN be more than you currently are... Just ask what your why in life is... and GO FOR IT!
