Whatever

I was going to write a second part to “Defining Love” but I got so many great answers I think it would be redundant.

It is interesting though where you will gain inspiration for a thought. I was going through the songs I have on my computer at work trying to put together a playlist and came across a couple of songs by Stephen Curtis Chapman. The two songs were “The Change” and “Whatever”. “The Change” is a song about the change that should be evident in our lives when we accept Christ, “Whatever” is a song about surrendering our lives to the call G_d has placed on our lives. I was doing this while contemplating what it is that separates the believer from the non-believer, the redeemed from the lost. I know the answer, but these are the kinds of things I contemplate from time to time. Well all of this got me to thinking about a few questions. What is the evidence of Yeshua in your life? Would someone be able to accuse you of following Jesus just my examining your life? Are you willing to do whatever is required of you? What is the difference you are making?

“Whatever” is a powerful word. In today’s world that word has become one of disrespect, used to dismiss those who do not agree. It is a much more powerful word of acceptance though. When we surrender our life and tell Yeshua “Whatever” we are telling him we will do what He requires of us. I for one want to be one of those who tell Him “whatever”. If we do that, the rest of the answers to the other questions will fall into place.
