He just wants you.
A blog by the Jessica Becker
 
This is the revelation that none of us wanted to admit in the first
place - that Novas was never about ministry.  It was never about Africa
or Central America.  It was never about works or good deeds, though God
in His grace allowed us to do those things.
 
Novas - new way.  A transformation.  And it begins in our hearts
and it never stops beginning.  There will be no end, as long as we live
and beyond.
 
This is the message, the journey, the road - that Jesus doesn't
care about your deeds or your ministry.  Do you want transformation? 
Do you want the new life?  Walk in the new way of being loved in your
brokenness.  Jesus was always about people, about hearts...why would we
think we are any different?
 
Ministry will come and go, but this is the core:
 
Be loved.
Be broken.
Be willing.
Be open.
Be filled.
Be poured out.
Be ready.
 
This process will kill you.  Awake at your own funeral, giving the
eulogy; you stand and testify that you're burying everything you
thought integral to who you are.  You testify that you believe in the
resurrection, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually;
that what you are burying, the shards of the reflections of beauty,
will be resurrected into something more.  Something more.
 
"Beloved, the life I have for you is more than you can imagine.  I
have better things for you than death.  But you have to walk this road
with me, the same road that I walked before you were born, because the
gift I have for you is righteousness.  Abide in me, and I will abide in
you."
 
Amen.
