Recovered In Christ

Friday, February 12, 2016

I don’t know Christ only as a “breath of fresh air” inspiration from a morning devotional. I know Him like the very air I breathe every day in order to live. I do not know him only as the “answer-er” of my prayers, I know Him as THE answer to every prayer I have ever prayed. And all of the prayers I have not prayed, that were said on my behalf by The Holy Spirit. I do not know Jesus Christ only as a means by which I gain salvation. I know Him as MY salvation. Who He is, His life, His Personhood is that which sustains the eternal life given to my spirit. I am “saved” not only by Him, but also FOR Him. He is not only the author but the finisher and “tie-er upper” of every strand, circumstance and detail of my life. The Grand Master who has brought all things together to work together in my favour. The greatest favour bestowed on any living human being…the favour of knowing the Son Of God. The Favour of adoption into God’s family. The favour of receiving The heart of God Himself. God…the creator and owner of ALL things seen and unseen searched me out and used my ENTIRE life to show me the Goodness of His heart towards me. And the result? The love for and genuine desire to do God’s will is not a struggle. Why? Because HE is my treasure. I love you God.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
