One of my favorite movies is The Matrix (the first installment). There is a scene towards the end of the flick that is powerful. The character Neo is in a tough spot with a couple of not-so-nice people. As a matter of fact, he literally wakes from the dead after being shot. As the tension builds to a crescendo, he awakens to the destiny that is his. He begins to see things as they really are…he begins to embrace the “power” given to him. All of sudden his confidence and skill are crystallized. Neo must still fight, but a new day has dawned. Can you relate to this? I can…with gusto! This is the type of day you wouldn’t forget. You see most are sleepwalking, or are lost in the Matrix. If you miss your opportunity to awaken, then you’ll miss the life you were intended to live.
The day for me was about five years ago. I had been a follower of Jesus Christ for many years, but when I encountered His destiny I came alive. Not that I was dead, but I was on this great search. It was a process of awakening, and life has never been the same since. You need to come alive. The world is waiting for your epic story. Don’t reserve that story for the grave.
Go watch The Matrix and read the book The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson (he has a great site at www.thedreamgiver.com). Go ahead and come alive!
