ABANDON

Snippet
The Spirit does not take His pupils beyond the cross, but ever 
more deeply into it. J. Knox Chamblin  Paul and the Self: 
Apostolic Teaching for Personal Wholeness, Baker, 1993, p. 117.
Scripture
As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax 
collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed 
Him. Matthew 9:9 NASB
Song
Live with Abandon newsboys

Chasing after this world makes me tired
Praising my own name leaves me dry
There's gotta be so much more to life than this
A higher calling that I missed
I want my life to count, every breath
I wanna live with abandon
Give You all that I am
Every part of my heart, Jesus
I place in Your hands
I wanna live with abandon
Give You all that I am
Every part of my heart, Jesus
I place in your hands
I wanna leave with abandon
Sentence Prayer
Jesus, Give us courage to confess your name: and go with you against the grain. 
Amen

(Common Prayer A Liturgy For Ordinary Radicals Zondervan pg 394 2010)
