Feeling Alive

Who am I without God?
Everything!
That is where this World wants us to be.

Who am I with God?
Nothing!
So I am left with only Him to fill me.

In Him is life.

The Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end.

We are created in this life by the Love and will of our God.
We bring nothing with us, and are 100% dependent upon the love of others.
 
 

When we exit this life, we return to our God.
We bring nothing with us, and are 100% dependent upon our relationship with the Father.
 
 

 Somewhere between the alpha and the omega, we lose our way.
 
No matter who we are, what we believe or what we have done, we will never exist beyond the beginning and the end. That is a guarantee established by the very meaning of those words.

Since God is the beginning and the end, He must also always exist in the middle, which is also where we spend our time on this earth.

So the journey to Him, is really about remaining with Him. As we mature in faith the distance may seem to grow, as we realize just how beautiful our lives would be with complete surrender.

HE is here right now!

The joy of that realization is beyond my ability to define! The struggle to surrender is defining life's new and only purpose.

Lord, please help us choose nothing but the love that you so mercifully desire for our way of life.

Not for everything that the world has to offer, but for the eternal life that you have already given through Christ our Lord, amen
