So I am re-reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan because it is simply that amazing. Chapter 8 is titled 'Profile of the Obsessed'. It is about being obsessed over God. I kinda wanted to write this out to make it almost like a declaration...
that I want to be obsessed for my Lord!
"Obsessed: To have the mind excessively preoccupied with a single emotion or topic"
"People who are obsessed with Jesus give freely and openly, without censure."
"People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else."
"People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another."
"Someone who is obsessed with God is more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo."
"A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the sin of pride is always a battle; they seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known."
"People who are obsessed with Jesus do not consider service a burden."
"People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers."
"People who are obsessed with God are raw with God; they do not attempt to mask the ugliness of their sins or their failures."
"People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him."
"A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life."
"A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the sin of pride is always a battle; they seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known."
