One day at a time
So another opportunity is presenting itself - to get involved as a sponsor for the HS group. I feel very inadequate for this position - but usually when I'm scared and that's the only excuse I have for not doing something means that I'm supposed to do it. I was just asking for a way to serve - a way to increase my sphere of influence - where I actually impact the Kingdom of Jesus Christ for eternity. I want to share my experiences and stop believing the lies that my experiences aren't worth enough to share. Dear God - help me to make the right decision - there are so many reasons not too - but none worth repeating. God, give me the strength to put myself out there - to allow myself to be vulnerable and allow myself the chance to fail. I need help. I want to be a part of the Kingdom and I want to look in your eyes when I get to the heaven part of eternity and know I served the best I knew how. Eternity - what a concept! Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever again. No concept of time - just of being. Wow. Jesus that is insane! Totally and completely beyond the grasp of my miniscule mind. To just be - to just be with the great I am. Wow. I can't understand. I can't even understand that you would take infinity and place it in the finite. To actually humble yourself to the point to become one of us. To subject yourself to the curse of the fall - to remain perfect - yet to receive the ultimate punishment and rise again to life. It's the story of your life, death and life. I heard an illustration that was wonderful - A father was trying to explain to his daughter why, even though her mother was a Christian, she died. He saw a truck and its shadow and asked his daughter if she would rather be run over by the truck or by the shadow of the truck. His daughter kinda laughed and said, "Of course, Daddy, I would rather be run over by the shadow because it wouldn't hurt as much." He said, "Jesus Christ was run over by the Cross to allow us to be run over only by the shadow." Our physical bodies are dying - cursed by the fall - what was good was corrupted. But, oh Mighty Father, what a Love we have - to make it possible that we have the opportunity to only be run over by the shadow of death - to die to this life but be able to life fully in Christ - to be able to laugh at the second death with joy knowing, but never fully understanding, the gift we have been given. To be giddy with the knowledge we are FREE. Oh glorious God - the one who gives us the freedom to reject him so we can experience the fullness of bliss of accepting him. He is the only way. His love is why he died and his glory and power is why he lives today. He is and he is waiting. Why do I forget and worry about little things - Oh glorious Father give me the strength to remember you and have the opportunity to actually discover how awesome you are - Thank you for protecting us - for giving us the chance to be with you forever even though we have earned death. O glorious God - the reason I live - Why I live one day at a time - I just want to dance with joy and be silly because He Loves Me. Jehovah - Yeshua - My Lord, My God. I love you - Holy Spirit thank you for your guidance and wisdom - pray for me and help me to glorify you and glorify my God and the love of my soul - My one and only. O Lord, My God.
