Live to the hilt

Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God — Jim Elliot

Last night at PURE @Shane talked about Jim Elliot as he wrapped up the Profile PC series. Interestingly Jim Elliot was brought up again tonight at my school by Pastor Jack Hayford. Both @Shane and Pastor Jack used the life of Jim Elliot as an example of what true passion looks like and how it is birthed out of the Spirit and is not a fleeting feeling or emotion.

As Pastor Jack ended his talk tonight he shared a quote from Jim Elliot which he states "Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God." I thought that it was a fitting exhortation of being a PC (Passionate Christian). I was moved by the image of the hilt of a sword and that we need to live out God's will in our lives to the maximum extent. We need to run with reckless abandon down the path the Lord has set before us. Only through the Holy Spirit can we truly experience true passion and allow Him to transform us into PC's.
