“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
Have you ever taken the time to see where you are in Christ? Have you ever just sat back and totally been honest with self about your position in Christ? Just as 2 Corinthians say’s have you ever went before God unveiled without the deep and pious words, without the long prayers saturated with words designed to tickle God’s ears? Have you gone before God totally naked and transparent? It’s a tough place and it’s a place where what you think you are and who you truly are at that time meet and the introduction is intense. It’s funny how we think we are this and that and capable of dealing with this and that yet when it hits the fan more times than not a different you comes out. If this fits you believe me when I say you are not and will not be alone. I know we are all taught to wear a mask that say’s all is well and life is good. Most of us truly believe that if something is going wrong in our lives than we must be doing something wrong. Well my friends if nothing ever happens in your life to challenge you than the devil must be pretty happy where you are right now.
Even as I write this I realize this is just as much for me as it is for anyone who reads this. I am quite confident that this will be shared because there are so many going through something right now. You have no
idea as to how many times I wanted to ask God to take this cup away. Family stuff, work stuff, people stuff and no real time for me. The feeling that everyone looks out for number one yet they expect you to look out for them.
The feeling that the stone is getting to heavy to push. However, this is where you get a true glimpse of where you are and just how much of the Lord is being reflected in and through you. This is the place where the image of whatever you have been putting into your spirit, soul and body will shine through. This is the place where you need to understand that God has you in His hands as He sits at the potters wheel shaping and molding you into what His plans are for you. This is the place where most of us struggle and stumble because we have not learned to lean not on our own understanding but to trust solely on and in Christ. This is also a step in our maturity as followers of Christ. Has the you who you think you are met the you who you truly are at this time?
