I pray for the ability to preach with joyful urgency, to proclaim the truth that life can be radically different. I think we forget that in the church -- that life can be radically different. That joy can exist within you, anchored in the reality of what Christ has done for you, offering you living water when the entire world around you can leave your soul parched. Everyone and everything can let you down, and yet there is still eternal life and a God who treasures you. Life can be radically different -- the things that weigh us down don't have to keep us down. The setbacks in life don't have to be devastating, because an eternal hope can carry us forward. Joyful urgency can fill us as we leave the church doors, having been reminded of the incredible things that God has done for us!
