I’ve Lost Interest in Self-Focus

Daily writing prompt
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

I’ve lost interest in self-focus. I find that I am happier and much more at peace when I keep my focus off of myself. Another has captured my attention and my focus. Now the most exciting and most important part of my life is my ongoing interaction with Jesus Christ. He continually puts thoughts in my mind that delight me and drastically improve my life.

To be brought
Into a real
Relationship
With Jesus
Involves more
Than being taught
About Him.
It means that
You surrender
Your whole heart
To be caught
And led by
His presence!

Go beyond sleepy religion. Wake up to:

* Unending heart-connection with God. (John 14:23)
* The community of the unity of the Spirit. (Ephesians 4:3)
* God working inside of you. (Philippians 2:13)
* Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
* Being continually led by the Spirit. (Romans 8:14)
* Hearing Jesus talk to you. (John 10:27)
* The inner government (kingdom) of God. (Luke 17:21)
* The guilt-free living of God’s forgiveness. (1 John 1:9)
* Freedom from sin’s control. (John 8:32)
* The wonderful fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
* The powerful gifts of the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11)
* Peace that passes understanding. (Philippians 4:7)
* Joy unspeakable and full of glory. (1 Peter 18)

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
