I've had a couple of conversations with people where they've talked about saying a word way too many times, so it begins to lose meaning. I've had this experience plenty, and I end up sitting there, feeling like a little bit of a weirdo mouthing the word 'alligator' to myself.
I feel like I've done this with my prayer life, the word Lord has lost all meaning, I've said it SO many times. Seriously a startling amount of times. So, the word has lost all meaning to me, (and I'm sure for many of you who grew up in the church) so I have decided to try and replace the word with King or Ruler, which pretty mean the same thing, and the differences in meaning are irrelevant.
The same has happened with great truths in my life. I constantly need to rebuke (harshly criticize) myself, and point out; Jesus loved you so much that he DIED for you Luke. Jesus was nailed to a cross because you stuffed up over and over. God just spoke and the world was created. Luke, you're a stuff up. These truths should be totally radical to me. All the time.
