Good stuff!

I read this article by Stephen Christian of Anberlin. http://www.relevantmagazine.com/community/blogs/YOUR-IRON-RUSTS.html
and this line stuck out to me,

"Do not tell me what you plan to do, tell me of what you have done.
Do not tell me what your hopes are, tell me what hope you have shared.
Do not tell me how hard you will try, but how exhausted you are from the fight and the victory that followed."

And it suddenly dawned on me that I've been looking at everything from the wrong angle. I look at things that need to be done, the person I want to become, the things I want to work on, ect. from the angle of "this is what I plan to do" but I miss the FACT that Jesus already accomplished everything on the cross. "It is finished" right? My pastor always tells me to look at things from a "top down" angle and not from a "bottom up" one, and I think I finally am starting to see it. I need to stop thinking about what I want to accomplish and start thinking about what Jesus has already accomplished in me and how He is getting rid of everything that doesn't reflect this change that has already occured. Planning things is good, it has its place, but we should not speak of plans, maybe those are things we keep to ourselves, we should only speak of the things that we are already doing. I'm done planning. Let's be doers of the word.
