I am blessed. I am Cherished. I am loved. I am overwhelmed. I am touched and changed.
Confucius said wherever you go, go with all your heart. Now I am not going in any physical direction but I am going in a spiritual one. There is something about really learning who my father is that is changing my heart. All I want to be is consumed by the fire in his heart. All I want is to burn like the brightest light so people will know that he is a living God, and he lives in all of us. Here there is no Greek or Jew, Circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian,slave or free, but Christ is all and is in all. Colossians 3:11
This verse gave me such revelation, it made me see that I was selfish for thinking that God really is only for me. That he only loved the people that were really looking for him. That I was a lone wolf in my faith so therefore I could walk out my life however I wanted. That my faith is not to be shared, because I am never going to change anyone's mind anyways. This is so untrue. When people said to me, "Oh well that's for you Lyndsay not for me" I just accepted it and was not at all sad by their position. Ever since I read this verse my heart has been slowly but surely radicalized. Now I am not about to go all Evangelistic on every single person that I see on the street but I am going to see them as a child of God. Knowing that God loves them just as much as he loves me. I do not know why this revelation did not come upon me sooner but it has and it has changed my heart so much.
God wants everyone to come to him, he wants us all to choose to love him. It does not matter who we are or what we have done, through Christ we have been made perfect. 1 Peter 4:8 Above all love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. There is nothing that love cannot accomplish, that it can not concur. Whether it be through loving each other here on earth or just accepting the love of God in our lives and knowing that we are worthy of all his love.
I do not know what the future holds for me all I know is "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6. I am confident that the Lord has started a good work in me, that he wants me to love him and trust him. That he wants me to do his work. Knowing is one thing that God has some amazing plan for my life but what the amazing thing is, is that my heart burns my feet burn to do his bidding to find out what he wants me to do with my life.
There is a long road a head of me, there is going to be a lot of prayer, a lot of trusting God, a lot of just jumping off the end and falling. I love the fall, I never though I would but with God all things are possible. I just want more, and whats awing is that there is ALWAYS more, there is an infinite amount of love, and Jesus to fill me up for the rest of my life.
I will finish with the lyrics of this song I am listening to its lovely
I will Exalt you- Amanda Falk Bethel Music
Your Presence is all I need
It’s all I want, all I seek
Without it, without it there’s no meaning
Your Presence is the air I breathe
The song I sing, the love I need
Without it, without it I’m not living
