I've been having another one of these moments in time where, I have to let myself go, and pick up my Cross. As I do so, I am being molded and shaped and my faith is growing leaps & bounds more than I thought possible. My wish is that I didn't have to be like my "fleshy" self and I could be more like God wants me to be each moment. Unfortunately but fortunately I'm still only human.
I love how through prayer both by myself, and by others on my behalf I am growing. Growing in forgiveness, and growing in the ability to Love my enemies, and pray for those who persecute me. and a very fundamental truth came to me in reading last night that I've most likely read right past. but now I was made to stop and take in the magnitude of what was on the page.
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. John 15:18-19(NIV)
So here I am reading this going "wow" I don't belong to the world, I belong to God, and his Son and the Spirit. So it really drove home who I am in Christ, and really solidified my faith and my heart more than I thought possible. Amazing! Also I've been so anxious & nervous lately about things and it's like.."Why am I worrying about this?" and I immediately began to realize as I read that passage I am who Christ says I am, never before have I came to that realization before. I began to pray and thank God for the gift of clarity that he has given me.
