"God"phones

I like to think that I am always in "tune" with hearing a word from God.  However, we all know that each of us gets sidetracked with wordly thoughts.  One thing that I do know is that my God senses are more in tune when I am running or when I am at a chaotic event like a concert. 

Recently I attended WinterJam '13 in Champaign, IL with a sellout crowd of over 14,000 people screaming and singing.  During that time my thoughts strayed away from the noise in the room.  I guess you could consider this a time of "spacing out." During this particular event I could feel God leaving an impression on my heart...so I listened.  This is what God left on my heart this time...

"Keith...you have spent too long worrying about the judgement you think you will receive because who I made you to be.  You are no longer going to hold yourself back because of someone not liking what you offer.  You will accept whatever man will throw at you because you are no longer going to hold yourself back from the pursuit that you have for Me so that you can fulfill the calling on your life."

Wow!  I truly needed that word because I do spend too much time trying to prevent myself from being judged by others.  I then tend to play it safe (or try to not be as "radical") so that my life is free from conflict.  I spend too much time draining myself about circumstance and someone else not accepting me for who I am.

God has made me to be a "Trailblazer."  I accept that role and will continue to wait for God to tell me otherwise.

Friends...do you have a calling on your heart that is too heavy to carry alone?  Make sure that you have your "God"phones on so that He can lead and direct you.
