All things have ebb and flow, don’t they?
We experience the good, the awkward, the
humiliating, the encouraging, the peaceful and the amazing throughout our
lifetimes. Sometimes we are aware of
them, and other times we are simply immersed in the rise and fall of them.
Honestly, the more I grow the more I understand. Yet simultaneously the more I understand the
more I see that I have so little understanding ….even though I have so much
more than I used to.
What is really
ironic for me to piece together, is that somehow, I believe this might be the
purest form of harmony and balance: nothing lacking, nothing missing; it is
liberty, freedom and allowance of more of the same. (does that make sense outside of my own head?? :)
Very much, I have missed making daily posts. However, God has had to do a bit of
rearranging. I found that I was being
ordered by my to do list of administrative chores, and not by the peace of His
divine order. Although they were all
great and very necessary accomplishments, I have not been resting in my
tasks. This is not even the surface of
what He has been allowing me to experience, but we will get there!
What He has been returning to me, washing over me time and
again is this: I can do anything and all
things in Him…..it is possible! But not
all things are profitable for what He has designed me to accomplish. Crazy isn't it? So, there are BIG changes being made, firstly
the renewing of my mind. My focus has to be to see through His eyes, not mine
or those around me.
He is showing me that this never stops. It is the growing from glory, to glory, to
glory. We know He does not change, we
believe that we are being transformed into His image and likeness. We probably even, on most days understand
that what He states, in Roman 12:2, is not a onetime thing but an ebb and flow
throughout the moments, thoughts and memories of our lives:
Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect.
We know it never stops, if we really thing
about it. How far will we have to go to
get to the very last piece of our “self”?
The answer is……it doesn't matter how far that is. I do not say that to give us a slack moment
of self awareness – just the opposite. My intent is to empower each of us to keep searching for His image, hidden beneath our shady
pieces. But do not search without
holding up a proper light. Be sure to Keep the
light of this word in your presence to search by:
Ephesians 3: 14 -20: This is the reason I kneel in the presence of the Father from whom all the family in heaven and on earth receives its name. I'm asking God to give you a gift from the wealth of his glory. I pray that he would give you inner strength and power through his Spirit. Then Christ will live in you through faith. I also pray that love may be the ground into which you sink your roots and on which you have your foundation. This way, with all of God's people you will be able to understand how wide, long, high, and deep his love is. You will know Christ's love, which goes far beyond any knowledge. I am praying this so that you may be completely filled with God. Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us. By this power he can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
As I said, it does not matter how far we
have to go to reach that last little shady area of self which is covering Him. You see, you now understand how wide, long,
high and deep his love is. And this love
has been covering all our chaos through His divine order.
Pause and Think about this today.
With Love from the depths of my heart…..to
you,
Kisses,
Candace
There are three pieces to this
understanding. Tomorrow, I will link
them all together.
