In the midst of my typing and pondering and praying and asking and observing and wondering...
I think about Ephesians 1:3,
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ..."
1st Peter 1:3-5,
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
This is coupled with that Chris Tomlin song, "Jesus Messiah." My sight will be made whole.
...And I am concluding that I will be shamed because I will not have walked as a faithful servant.
I have KNOWN about my heavenly treasure. I have acknowledged and been filled with JOY about my heavenly treasure.
But do I live it out?
Do I walk in the knowledge of what He HAS (presently) given to me?
Do you KNOW what He has given to me?!
"EVERY spiritual blessing in the heavenly places."
EVERY!!!!!!
And yet, I don't believe it.
(Because then I would live differently. I would not live the same as this world.)
Do I live in faith?
Do I depend on Him for any thing?
Do I depend on Him for all things?
Do I live out the reality that I have heavenly treasure?
To some degree, sure.
The Holy Spirit lives in my heart and He works in me.
But, I don't want, "to some degree."
I want FULLY.
I want ALL THE WAY.
I want to love Him and live for Him FAITHFULLY FULLY!!!!!
How?
I don't know.
I don't understand.
LORD! Increase my faith.
Let China change me more. Not only in perspective of thinking, but in reality of my life actions.
(Maybe this is why the Lord did not let me go to Africa first...I would have been crushed.)
