Do you ever feel like you have something inside you... and you aren't quite sure what it is, but if you don't get it out... you might just explode?
Okay, that's a little melodramatic... but how can you write and not be? It makes it interesting...
I have this slight urge to have a... three hour heart to heart with someone. I have so much on my mind and heart of all natures that I think I might just bust. I'd talk to myself, but I already know it all and quite frankly... re-living it for the oh, tenth time gets boring.
It's strange to think that we as humans are given a puzzle. And somehow, along the way we uncover pieces that we've never seen before. There they are just staring us in the face. Things that seem so obvious but are never quite apparent until the right time. Maybe it's how God works to show us things we need to know, or maybe it's just by chance that we stumbled on it at that time and God knew it would happen but didn't do much to change it. Either way, I'm not exactly knowledgable on the subject... I just know it happens and it amazes me. Some things are so deep and others so elementary... but all of the pieces have a specific time for unveiling.
It blows my mind. You're 100 pieces of a human puzzle and just when you think you get to 99, bam! Here you are an 67 again. Or 42 or 75... I dunno. I just know... life is crazy sometimes...
The things you think you regret, you can let go with the old man... then you dig them back up when the new man needs an explanation for how to overcome an obstacle... and not make the same mistake twice.
God's love is insane to our minds. It's so hard to perceive something like that. It's beyond any beauty that we could describe. How do you explain? How you do describe? It's something we sing... but I can't experience that as hard in the pew as a can when I pray in my bed at night. When I think of all of the things I've done wrong and how He forgave me before I even did. How people that i've expected to be there, who I thought I deserved to have there... weren't. But the God of the universe, the creator, the most powerful being ever... was and is always there. He blows my mind!!! ...In a great way.
And then He perfects every part of me... for His names' sake. He creates in me something... astounding. Who am I that He should have even looked at me? But who am I now that He's been working with me? I don't even know the old me. That person is an enemy... but also a stranger. I make mistakes, but I'm not a living mistake. Everything I have and am is good and better with Him. In flesh, I disappoint myself... but in Him... I amaze myself.
Ladies and Gentlemen, living proof of God's existence and His work in someone's everyday life. Name something stupid that a teenager or child could do and welcome to my old man. Name something God could do for someone and welcome to the possibilities set before my new man.
"I will love you LORD always, not just for the things you've done for me. I will praise you all my days, not just for the change you made in me. But I praise you for you are holy LORD. And I lift my hands, but you are worthy of so much more..." -Life of praise, Casting Crowns.
