"God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him." (John 1:3)
I was reminded how God put a seal, a distinguishing mark, somewhat of a contact point of all creation. It was the DNA of Jesus Christ in every creation. When no one seem to fill that sensitive part in our whole being, perhaps that very place is where Jesus belongs.
I like that song EVERYTHING saying,
(second verse)
"God in my laughing,
there in my weeping,
God in my hurting,
God in my healing..."
then it shifts to declare
BE MY EVERYTHING
BE MY EVERYTHING...
It is as if saying, "I've had enough this time Lord! I surrender! I invite you again in my heart. take this brokenness, Lord. Be my everything! Be God in my body, be God in my emotion, be God when my faith is shaken but your grace is pushing me forward, be God when I don't feel like being righteous, when I almost slip to my old nature, be God when words of encouragements doesn't ignite me anymore, be God in the middle of my process no matter how much it hurts. Won't you be my everything?"
then the mystery was revealed. Hallelujah!
Christ in me,
Christ in me,
Christ in me,
the hope of glory...
Why do we have to suffer this? Why do we have to be alone while others are enjoying their lives? they even don't care about anyone, can't God afflict them? This is the same question of Asaph on Psalm 73.
But realize this!
Colossians 1:26-27 "The mystery of which was hidden for ages and generations [from angels and men], but is now revealed to His holy people (the saints), 27 To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory." (AMP)
CHRIST IN ME, THE HOPE OF GLORY.
if we don't embrace this kind of life, how can CHRIST be birth out? How can He be molded? How can the GLORY be revealed if we don't understand the purpose of process? Does Christianity end on blessing alone? If so, we aren't looking for the God who controls everything - even pain, for the sake of chiseled inner man. if we are looking after blessings alone, we might as well go to Genie and polish his lamp all day long.
But as we grow, not in theology or tradition or ways how to compromise without being caught, our suffering becomes delight! Hallelujah Jesus! Lift Him high for we are but a mess in some generation but because of His grace, His love - see? Jesus gives everything for you before you ever boast your ministry. But God is God.
If we can't endure God's discipline, too bad. Disciple without discipline? Can it be possible?
that's why it goes back again to the core:
JESUS EVERYTHING.
JESUS EVERYTHING.
JESUS EVERYTHING.
JESUS EVERYTHING.
the Christ in us must not be aborted by any situation.
Don't quit! Pay the Price! Grow up!
