“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12
He is writing the story. A very special story.
Walking in the Light, as He is in the Light. (Eph. 5:8, 1 John 1:7)
He is my meaning. Jesus.
Purpose of the Mystery.
"To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him."-Ephesians 3:8-12 (NKJV)
Memories of Eden. Paradise Lost. Heaven & earth; distance between them. But we, as a race, have forgotten. We were made for SO MUCH MORE. Created by a Transcendent, Benevolent Love. We were made for so much more! Intended for eternity and abundant life. (John 10:10.)
Human beings. Having value. God & Man. Walking in the Garden. Yahweh and His Bride. What a good idea.
Lately, I seem to be an enigma to people. "You are so happy; how can this be?" "Yet, you are quiet. Who are you?" I have found myself... coming down underneath the muck and mire of fear of man. Confusion of inadequacy. Listening to the father of lies who tangles the light. Here's the thing. We are not misunderstood. We are loved. And in the beholding of Jesus' Beauty, we are becoming just like Him. Going from glory to glory, and strength to strength. (Psalm 84)
God of Light, in whom there is no darkness. Giver of every perfect and good thing. You made ME! I belong to You; Forever.
"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory."- Colossians 3:2-4
Our real life is hidden in Christ with God. So, that's where you find me.
Adoration by Ian McIntosh
There is a light that shines within me
there is a hope that burns inside me
deep within my soul, my very existence
there is a being waiting to be freed
a child who knows no fear, pain, or rejection
there is an emotion all encompassing
of excitement, joyfullness, gladness, and love
with the creative potential of laughter
and the undeniable power of an infants joy live inside me
unmeasurable are my limits for i call you Father
unimaginable my potential for You have called me son
there is someone inside of me waiting to be unleashed
whom You embraced
whom i long to be
there is an all-consuming fire
a light that permeates from my very being
You have unlocked me God
and the doors You opened no man can shut
i will praise You for all my days for You are good
You have released me God with Your love
You are everything
