Me? I Prefer to be Oblivious to Myself
Last night… well, actually early this morning, I had another talk with my heavenly Father. During our discussion, I faced an impasse. I realized there was only so far that I could walk with him before I was conscious of the ‘fruit of his presence.’ That ‘fruit’ was his holiness… and glory. That’s when I realized that I wanted to take some credit for that ‘fruit’, and there was the impasse. I wanted to take credit for things I could never do apart from his grace and power… if it truly meant anything.
I love God for revealing that impasse to me. It gave me hope. Hope that I can live a little longer, more meaningfully… walking in his Spirit… doing what he works in me his good pleasure to do… without me thinking about doing anything else, other than his will without regard to any earthly return on investment. Living in Christ is living a sanctified life… holy and separate from the world. Christian living is a living in a state of ‘being’ I am, within the I AM. Thus, I want more and more of Christ in me as a result of ‘that state of being’ – if I can be so bold – the littlest I am of all, within the greater.
