Meeting 3/5/11

Consider who we're talking about here.  Who is this thing all about?  We're talking about Jesus in the fullness of His glory.  I'm remembering the picture in Rev 1 and Ezek 1, among others, that attempt to describe His amazing beauty and power.  This is the One who hears our cries, who knows our hearts, who is King of the Universe.  He is the only One that truly matters in this world.  His words, thoughts, opinions, and truths are the only ones that truly matter.  He is 'the Bomb' in modern language.  He's the Justin Beiber, on center stage, in the spotlight.  He's the one deserving of praise and worship.  When He talks, we should listen and agree. 

So when the biggest Guy in the universe reaches out and whispers, "I'm especially fond of you", what kind of difference does that make?  It is the one thing that truly changed my life.  It turned me towards His face.  It empowered me with freedom.  It was the one truth that was finally enough to bring the balance to my life and purpose here.  It is just too amazing that this huge God would connect to this little boy at the heart level and say, "I love you". 

Too many days I walk around with a whole lot of 'nothing showing' when the Lord would prefer to see me 'fully involved'.  Maybe I've let the world's weeds knock down the flames to a smolder instead of letting Him radiate into more of my involvements.   I remember that He doesn't want to be at the top of a list of priorities, but wants to be at the center of every activity.   He wants to make a difference in His people through me.  He wants to teach people His love through me.  He wants to spread like a wildfire through my life and infect others.  Let His will be done.  I surrender and let Him have me.  He is my best chance to become all that I can be in this life.  I hope to always promote the amazing truth that He is still in love with me.  That is the truth that inspires greatest to make positive impacts and allow me to overcome and transcend into the life He calls me into.
