Oh, that we would know who we really are!
Romans 8:19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.
Sit with this for a minute. I believe there is multi-faceted depth in this verse - yes, we will be revealed when Christ returns, but I also believe this "now" passage.
The LORD has been teaching me about who I am, who we are, in Him. There is so much that hinders our ability to believe His Word to us. Life stuff, heartbreak, shame, sin, pride, abuse, neglect...
It is in the Light of Christ which we find out true selves. It is in the Light of His Grace & Mercy that we are freed to live as He called us to live. Lives of victory, lives of influence, lives of LOVE. Overflowing, outrageous, radical, counter-culture, mind blowing LOVE! It is there that we are truly free. There, surrendered to the life that God planed for us before time even began.
I am having such a hard time not writing a novel on this single thought because it changes EVERYTHING!!!! EVERY THING!!! People, can you receive this??? This single thought, taken to the innermost place changes EVERYTHING! So today, I leave you to ponder, to taste this single thought.
Oh, savor it, let it have its full way with you, let it have you. Let it take you where you have never been. Let Holy Spirit have His way.
All creation longs for you to know who you are! Why? Well, that's another thought..... Just know that if you let yourself believe who God says you are, you'll begin to know the reason why creation longs for us.........
Oh, May the God of our fathers, send you a double portion of faith!
I've been reading your posts this evening. I love the way you share your heart! I am blessed to know you.

This verse keeps coming up in my life...and you've hit the nail on the head...when We (I) know who we are in Christ we will bring healing to the nations...the power of God will be revealed in us and many will flock to Him because of it!!....Sue
