Falling

The amazing thing about God is... He will never cease to amaze. From beginning to end, the God we serve is steadfast and true. His touch shakes your soul and moves your earth.

I live for Him. It breaks my heart when I don't give Him my all and I seek experience over intimacy, emotion over reality, sensationalism over service, but my heart is deceitful. He knows it. It's so funny, He is a catch twenty-two. He asks for purity, but knows it is impossible and will accept you anyways. The purity is for our own benefit.

See we are already justified through Jesus' blood. We have been deemed acceptable, but the request for striving, for purity, for service, for choice, for hardship, loyalty, drive, self-sacrifice, killing of the flesh... Those are for us. Our own benefit. 

Think about that for a second. The implications are intense. If we say that it is not out necessity, but out of choice that we remain pure, love others, choose Him, how much more powerful than those that say we HAVE to. Those that say it determines are acceptability to the Father. Our access to the throne room What if we can go in imperfect, but still come out have been touched?

Could that possibly mean that His love is  based more on Him and His desire to love, than our ability to earn it? Could it be that free? What happens when we learn that it will be there no matter what? We are chosen and that will never change.

Could that be the defining moment of all of life? Only if it shakes our reality enough to meld hopes and dreams into intimacy and need. Remember, He is the breath of life, and LOVE is the only noun/verb He gives as what He IS. Not what he inhabits, but what He EXISTS in. Could that invade us enough? 

LORD hear my prayer....
