journal intime # 3
november 15th, 2018 : 5h50 ami had already come to that realization, but recently, for some reason, it came back to my spirit: we live life like there was no ending.
but actually, there is an ending.
when i am talking about ‘‘living life like there’s no ending’’, it refers more to living an earthly life like if nothing else matters except us: our will, our desires, ourselves. but we all know, Jesus is coming back. heaven and earth will be majestically transformed to welcome the new life for a defined time: eternity. but i am wondering: how are we preparing that future and how is our daily life expressing this eternity vibe? how are we managing our life today so it will reflect the life that God has prepared for us in the new heaven and the new earth?
no one can be sure what tomorrow brings. we have no control over time; our lives could be taken at any moment. this morning, i realized that i want to make my time on earth worth it. i feel like we waste a lot of time by hiding, running away or even by isolating ourselves from God’s presence when the only thing he desires is to share an intimacy with his beautiful creature: us, his children. sometimes, we let insecurity, ignorance, unbelief, fear and confusion take a higher place in our hearts and blind us to the true essence of God: a loving God who is for us and who wants to restore us, to make us whole.
there are parts of our hearts that need to recognize the sovereign nature of God who cares so much for us and wants to see his children walk in the fullness of who they are and what they have been called to do. we have let a lot of things take over the throne of our hearts and we have forgotten that God reigns over all these things and forevermore. the God i know is everything we need. he is good, love, joy and peace. everything we need, we can find it in his nature.
don’t look back, don’t look around, but look up. he is greater than any hardship or stress that we can experience here on earth. he is our everything. his name is God Almighty. he is with us and for us, not against us.
my deepest desire, father God, is to be so close to you, that i do not hesitate to do the things you want me to do. like Jesus, i want to be so close to your heart that i do, say and pursue the things i see you do, say and pursue. i pray that people will be shook by your presence, oh God. that everything will be about you.
this season is about trusting you,
to let go, and to let you in.
you are perfectly in control of my life.
