This is a powerful statement to me. In fact when I heard it for the first time I didn't get it because my mindset was "you have the life you have, and that's all you get whether you like/want it or not". That was partially my age at the time and the other part was lack of knowledge. Now some 20+ years later I recently heard that statement again "live the life you want and want the life you live". I get it now!! The life I want IS the life I live. Although I don't have monetary riches to speak of or all of the trappings that the world says makes you a great success, I do have everything I need and still I am living in the glorious expectation of everything that God has promised will be mine. A Life More Abundant.
No. I'm not delusional. I know this life is hard and there are many things that I too wish I could change about its course, but look at these words again carefully "live the life you want and want the life you live". This is not a question. It is a statement or better yet a choice. If we choose to live the life we want we can truly want this life we live. Think about it. It's your choice!
