Pssssttt…… Listen, close your eyes and hear the whisper…. Jesus always talks when you are willing to “HEAR“
Is today, the beginning of something new? A new year is on the horizon, just past the bend, as the sun rises in the next few hours we will be able to count down to the start of 2014. I ask myself as i look at my past, remember all the new beginnings I promised, all the right moments I waited for…. Never realising that I was waiting for life to begin when it had started so many years back, I was just not seeing it!
Do I see it now? Am I still waiting for the midnight clock to announce the time is right? Or maybe one of the hundred excuses I have used so many times before, would be more adequate? It’s to hard, This is not me, I am not strong enough, lets wait for another millennium to pass by who knows maybe then, picking up my feet and putting one in front of the other will be easier to do, but for now….. I’l just wait it out…jip, and wait… and guess again…. WAIT!
That’s the lie we keep telling ourselves every time we buy the last special at the cake sale, or the shoe that i so badly wanted…. but then all of a sudden it hits me… Is this what I am living for? One excuse after another, one more duvet over the head moment, one more reason to stick my head under a rock and just wait it out…
Lord, You said in Your word that we have overcome, we are more then that. Your blood has set us free, You died so that we can live, Lord I can’t do this on my own! Then I realise, I was never meant too… This life is tough, and we are worthless! This flesh and bones before this computer is nothing more then matter, occupying a piece of space, polluting air, that could have been breathed by someone of more value…. But by the the grace of God I am a new creation, Old things have passed away, and I am made New in Christ Jesus… Yes people, this is no longer me, I am human, I make mistakes, but I am recycled, I serve a different purpose, I am not here to consume oxygen and waste space..
I am here for a chosen generation, to complete what God has started in me, to be an instrument in the potters hand.
To live as if I was dead and Jesus was living in me!
