sincere thoughts
With yet another school shooting, I am reminded how dark this world is and where the world is headed before Jesus comes to rule and reign (according to Revelation). Now is the time for the Body of Jesus to draw ever closer to the Father’s heart. To get to a place where we KNOW His voice and His presence, so that when the evil one comes we will not be swayed…
We all get caught up in “life” as we know it here on earth. But the reality is if we profess to be Christians (i.e., Christ-followers), then our true citizenship is in Heaven, not earth. Sure, we’re not going to be transported to Heaven directly after we become a Christian (because the Lord needs us to be the hands and feet of Christ here until He comes again) but our citizenship is of Heaven, nonetheless. We do not need to forfeit being human (having families, getting involved with the things here on earth, be it sports, groups, parties, etc.), but I would like to remind myself and everyone that what really matters is our relationship with God, and out of that, receiving the call of God on each of our lives to be a spirit-filled witness. I am reminded of the story of Mary and Martha. The Lord commended Mary for sitting at His feet. Listening; absorbing; seeking to know Him; just adoring Him. Let me encourage you that God longs for you to sit at His feet, with no other agenda than to seek Him and absorb what He desires to speak to you. We were given the greatest gift; the gift of REAL LIFE. But so many of us attempt to LIVE with very little one-on-one connection to the LIFE-SOURCE Himself. The church setting is fine, but it is not going to feed you. Going directly to the Father will feed you; really feed you. So, let me challenge you today. Seek the Life-Giver in the midst of this day; this week; this month. Connect to the One who will give you rivers of living water; the One who will re-energize and re-charge you. The One who will breathe LIFE into you every time you connect with Him. The One who will heal wounds, physical, emotional and spiritual. The One who LOVES you. The One who died for you to have everlasting life. Start by getting alone and say, “God I’m here to meet with you; come and meet with me.” Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8
