要實現你的價值，就必須安排你的價值，即使要付出代價。復興從來不是方便的，但它是光榮的，是迫切需要的，需要 "架開/擋開/轉變方向/放在一邊"( turning aside)來為它騰出空間。復興的時間永遠不是隨手有的。我們必須順服於主的時間。

為了優先考慮我們的價值，關鍵是不要優先考慮時間表，而是要安排優先事項。這一件事為我們所說的價值讓出空間。我們的日子是透過我們實際花時間所做事，來瞭解我們實際的價值。(是的，這可能會讓人感到不安。)

例如，將神的同在放在第一位，有時神可能會說："改變你的計畫......。我現在要做其他事情。" 而以復興為優先事項，意味著當神在移動時，我的時間表也要移動，這意味著其他事情會被推遲、轉移或改變，以便為神的行動發生時騰出空間。這需要付出代價；復興並不廉價！

至於我，我希望我的價值能越來越多地反映在我的實際生活中，而不僅僅是在我的思想中！這並不是說有些事情不重要或不好；只是其他事情有時更重要。

復興需要為更好的事物而犧牲好的。至於我，我從來沒有後悔過為耶穌做出任何犧牲。事實上，付上代價的"是"毀掉了我的平凡，為揭示了寶貴的珍珠，上帝的仁慈撞擊了我的心。

我喜歡跟隨上帝的引導。我的禱告是，我將越來越容易地放下我的行程表，並在神呼召我的時候隨傳隨到。這需要大量的膏油--所以要加油！

紅利是，冒險從未遠離我的心！我祝福你與神一起冒險，因為你走出了你內心的大門，活出了你的價值。我也禱告新鮮的膏油進入你的季節。

MAKING SPACE FOR THE BETTER
JODIE HUGHES
2022.5.4

To live your values requires scheduling your values, even when it costs. Revival is never convenient, but it is glorious, desperately needed, and requires a "turning aside" to make room for it. There will never be a time that's available for revival. We must bend to the timing of the Lord.

In order to prioritize our values, the key is to not prioritize our schedule, but to schedule our priorities. This one thing makes space for what we say we value. We can look at our days and see what we actually value by what we actually spend our days doing. (Yes, this can be confronting.)

For example, prioritizing His presence will mean, sometimes, that He might just say, "Shift what you've got planned... I have other things on My mind just now." And prioritizing revival means that when God is moving, my schedule moves too! That means other things get postponed, shifted or moved to make room for a move of God when it's happening. This costs; it's supposed to. Revival isn't cheap!

As for me, I want my values to increasingly be reflected in my actual life, not just in my thinking! It's not that some things aren't important or good; it's just that other things are more important sometimes.

Revival requires sacrificing good for better. As for me, I've never regretted any sacrifice for Jesus. In fact, the costly "yes" has ruined me for the ordinary, revealing pearls of great price that have wrecked my heart with God's kindness.

I love following God's lead. My prayer is that I will increasingly hold my schedule lightly and be available always when God calls on me. This requires lots of oil - so get oil!

The bonus is, adventure is never far from my heart! I bless you in your adventure with God as you step out of the front door of your heart and live your values. And I pray fresh oil into your season.
