A couple of mornings ago I was reflecting on this desire to share. The joy that followed and the topics to reflect on were virtually overwhelming. My heart was filled with the peace that comes with responding in His will.
This morning, as I was preparing to venture to that place which inspires, I had no clue where to go with this next musing. I remembered what He taught me just a few mornings back, and yet they became whispers.
What changed?
I have sinned. At this point, the details are not relevant. Of course, to share the details would encompass too much of this white space, because I am not talking about a single action. I am talking about daily choices. Big picture remains as "God is first". Little snapshots remind me that I (dare I change that to "we"), are all sinners. It has been that way from the start, and we have God to thank.
From the very beginning, scripture teaches us of what God has in store for us. We also learn of evil that distracts us from His will. Our very life starts as God created life in the beginning. We have everything we need in Him. And yet we have choices to make, and every single one of us fail.
Thank God! He knew we would. He gave us His Word. He gave us His only Son. He gave us His Spirit. And by His grace and love, we received all that we desire...in the beginning. His beginning is in all of us. There is no other way!
God gives us the freedom and the way back to His creation.
So, on this very morning, as I was preparing to share, my focus somehow shifted to what "I" was going to share. A couple of mornings ago, as I was reflecting on this desire to share, my entire being was tuned into what "He" wanted me to share.
The realization of that simple paradigm shift led me here. We sin by putting our desires before God. Realization of our sinfulness, and acceptance of His most Holy Trinity, will always lead us to a more meaningful relationship in Him.
It has been that way since the beginning.
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner.
