infidel

infidel- may I ever be labeled one when it comes to my association with religious institutionalism. May I ever and always strive to not conform to the standardards the insitution, denomination, affiliation, people with money, people with loud voice, people with agendas have for me. I want so badly to cast aside the squeaky wheels in life and hear again the tender voice of my Savior- cling tight to His purpose, direction, and heart. I know when that has happened that my life is rich and full and meaningful beyond words. O that I might not ever lose my God-hearing.
I am guilty, I am the infidel- may it always be so and may I never compromise on the extravagant grace and love found in Christ. May eternal hope and a mysterious Spirit season my life and rule my action. I will not be silent and I will not be moved. I am an infidel.
