What are You Running From?*

“You can out-distance that which is running after you, but not what is running inside you.”  ~Rwandan Proverb

Living from the inside-out is the best way to overcome having to feel as though you are running from what is inside of you.  For years I lived from the outside in allowing other people, places and things to dictate how I felt about myself and the world and it seemed as though I didn’t like what was running inside of me.  In essence, other people, places and things (especially drugs) became my God and was constantly running inside of me.  This changed the day I decided to try my best to allow God to be God and to guide and direct me from the inside-out on all aspects of my journey.

I have slowly evolved from needing to feel good first in order to do right, to doing right first (whether it is enjoyable or not) and feeling good because I did right.  In other words, I don’t need other people, places and things to motivate me.  God is my motivator today.

What is running inside of you today?  What are you running from?

P.E.A.C.E.

Romans 12:2, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.  Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”

Isaiah 64:8, “And yet, O Lord, you are our Father.  We are the clay, and you are the potter.  We all are formed by your hand.”
