It's time for MORE, friend!

Publication date Dec 12, 2023

Yesterday we talked about the dangers of bad habits, but today I want to dig deeper because it's so important to know how to break these habits. There is a wonderful solvent for that nasty glue of bad habits.

What are your habits, friend?

I find it exciting to think about, because only then do you become aware of the habits you have become accustomed to, those that have automatically limited or restricted you.

“Nothing binds us to anything like habit.”

I recently heard this sentence in a TikTok video—a valuable exception to the usual fare on that media. We all have our habits and feel safe in them. It doesn't matter if these habits are good or bad.

But there is something that can break any habit: love.

Have you ever been in love, friend? 

You do things you never would have done before. I remember how, when I was in love, I enthusiastically put on my hiking boots when my boyfriend wanted to take me to the mountains, even though I had absolutely no passion for hiking! And the end of the story: From that day I fell in love with the mountains, and now I only dream of having time to hike there again.

Don't let your habits limit you. God wants to show you something new today!

friend, these words are very important to me for you right now. I believe that a “time for more” is dawning in your life too!

God is calling to you today, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:19 NIV

And friend, maybe the “new thing” just doesn't fit your habits. Maybe you're the type who reads the Bible and thinks it’s enough for you to let others do the big things. 

If that’s the case, then I pray today that you will fall in love all over again with your wonderful Jesus, and because of this love you will dare things that are outside of your usual ways:

"Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: ‘Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts…’” (Hebrews 3:7-8 MEV

You are a miracle!
