Preface: This next Sunday is the beginning of the Church Year, as we prepare to bring Christ into our hearts in advent season, think about what His love means to you. ...And truly ponder your experience as a true example of His love to others.
God Draws Straight with Crooked Lines…
“Lo, I am with you always even until the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:20
In the theatre of your soul, what role do you play? Do you live a life where you strive to fit in, or do you realize you as a Christian are meant to stand out? Whom and what do you listen to in your life? Do you listen to God, read His word, do you seriously ponder or do you read and read without acknowledging the real power of His words as they are lifted off the pages into your mind? Can you and I continue to break all His commandments? Do you and I seek to judge or use our better judgment? Without any effort, it is His light which shines upon our darkness.
If someone placed a gun at your head and said deny Him and live, what choice would you make?
Does the light of Christ shine through you? Are you His conduit?
What do all people seek in their lives? ...calm, peace, love
Love is important, the most important of all things. This dark world would like to see love distorted, many people do not know what real love is. Follow Jesus and learn of untold truths of God. On earth, a good marriage is the best example of love as you understand marriage is a compromise of wills. You must give, and give and forgive and give again. Giving must be pure, giving and learning about heavenly things and Jesus will teach you about love and prepare you for the love you will receive in Heaven. Jesus will open your eyes in a greater degree time and time again until you can see with His eyes, let Him teach you about love.
He will never desert you, He always cares, He always forgives, and He always loves. Christ has chosen you, in His eyes you are Holy and dearly loved. Do you know the real extent of how He loves you? Do you really know how to define immeasurable?
So in the theatre of your soul, what role do you play? Do you stand out or do run away? Do you know how to forgive, starting over again, time and time again, or is your heart grown to liken this world and become isolated, cold and dark seeking your own passion only in the end to find misery and hurt. Do you know what true love is all about, or have you chosen the distorted view of the world and created in your mind your own definition and limits? Is following His truth proven too much to handle? Are you chasing fool’s gold always seeking something more to never really find something more?
Let me tell you where the real treasure lies, where it can be found, not to be hoarded but given away, it lies at the bottom of a cross. You and I will never know such pain, such sacrifice… But if you stop, kneel down and look up, you will find in your life your greatest gift, your greatest lover, the greatest believer in you, the one who always has His arms open, ready to always rescue, protect, console, heal, love and provide you with the definition of immeasurable... immeasurable forgiveness and immeasurable love all one in the same.
All praise and glory be given to His name!
