Found myself wondering who am I and how much I'm worth this morning.. Was about to go for a jog and was about to have a chat with the Holy Spirit when that thought seep into my mind. When it did, I found myself kicking myself in my own butt.
Here's why..
I had struggles with my own identity for years. The struggle always includes in questions like, "Who am I?" or "what have I done to earn someone's respect" and etc.
And here's the amazing thing about my Father in heaven aka God..
That years of struggle and striving in finding my worth, I eventually found it in Him, in Christ.. How so, you may ask.
The bible tells us that if anyone is in Christ, he or she is a new creation.
This new creation, is created by God Himself and not by us.. Hence, it is Holy! It is good! It is prefect! Not because we done anything to make it so, but because Jesus made it so!; through the cross!
I am holy, regardless of what I have done or what mistakes I will do in the future.. And it is not because I am good, but because of what He has done on that cross..
So, who I am today, is not in what I did in the past, it's not in what I do for my career, its not in what I will do in the future..
Who I am is what has been done for me; through that cross..
How much am I worth today? My worth is equal to that cross..
Who I am today? A new creation, created by Christ Himself.. I am the son of Most High...
Am having this craving for this particular food now.. Who would be kind enough to be my dinner date for a sushi night? =p
Salmon sushi...is good....... =))
They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard!!
“Satisfy me in the morning with your unfailing love.” -Psalm 90:14
I would be satisfy if *fill in the blanks*.
This statement has been around for so long and has caused us into a frenzy of chasing after things or relationships or status, thinking we will be satisfy if we have it. This is it, I will be happy if I have this.
Not to mean that it's wrong to be going after all these things, which some we truly need it, but it would be sad to think we can be satisfy if we have a certain thing, or being in a relationship with someone.
I'm not saying not to love your spouse or your other half. But if we are trying to finding the satisfaction of our heart in them, we are bound to be disappointed.
C.S. Lewis said, “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”
Our hearts were created for someone and there is a longing for Him. Until we see Him face to face, eye ball to eye ball, we are just trying to substitute the longing with something else; the right clothes, the right music, the thousand of friends we have on Facebook.
And see here the other thing, we ask God to satisfy us in the morning, and it may not happen immediately. Don't go rushing into finding substitution, be content with your dissatisfaction and wait for Him for His arrival.
“Taste and see the Lord is good. How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.” -Psalm 34:8
To quote Jon Foreman from Switchfoot, “It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.”
The Possimpbile.... The nexus where the Possible and the Impossible meet, creating The Possimpible.. Everything and nothing is Possimplible.. Man, can't believe I actually buy into another one of barney Stinsons' theory.... =p
Suit-up!
