Well ...It seems that as I live my life I tend to find one word that sums up the stage that i'm in. For example: birth - 11 - childhood, 12 - saved, 13 - 17 - fake, 18 - the fall, 19 - 22 -mistakes, 23 -...Grace. I have always known that God has a special call on my life. I thought that I was some how a special christian. That I was the only one who heard God and I was supposed to tell other christians how screwed up they were. I thought I was somehow different from everyone else. Then the thought hit me..."One day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!"...and I wondered what I would be doing on that day. Would I be wearing a crown? Would God be saying "Behold! The greatest Christian who ever lived! I praise him above everyone else!"...then it hit me ...I'll be kneeling with everyone else...
Why? Why am I not special? Why can't God honor me above everyone else? Then I realized who I'll be bowing down to. I saw for the first time in my life, not only who, but what God is. And I saw that the whole existence of man kind boils down to one truth...We were made to worship God. That's all we're here to do! All of our problems, stresses, and worries are based on things we're not here to do! When I realized that, I asked my self what have I been doing lately? The answer sure wasn't glorifying God. I saw my whole life compared to God and they didn't balance out...not even close. God and our worship of him outweighed everything I had ever done! ...condemnation ...bam...just like that! I had spent my entire life serving myself. I had stolen God's glory and gave it to myself. and Just when I thought that feeling of sin was going to take my breath out of my lungs...GRACE! I realized what grace means! And it rings true in my life! All of the things that I had ever done to Glorify myself were completely wrong and God chose to wash it away! Wow what and awesome feeling! So... It is safe to say that grace will sum up my life from now on, but in the mean time I'm throwing away everypart of my life that does not bring glory to him. And seeking him on how to glorify him in everything that I do! Hey you asked! LOL
Later!
