I love that we are able to SEE God in other people. I feel
like there have been so many moments in my life when I have come to understand,
know and see God different because of a simple conversation with someone.
Someone is able to say a few words and the most profound supernatural thing
happens in my heart.
Have you ever experienced that?
I feel like if we are longing to hear God, hungry to see
Him, and looking for Him in our lives He will reveal Himself through many and
any manner possible. I have the absolute
privilege of being surrounded by people who reveal God’s heart to me. People
who show me a different aspect of God that maybe I had never seen before, or I
just need a reminder of.
In the last few weeks this has happened to me several times.
And I can probably safely say that the other person had no idea what was going
on in the inside of my heart in these moments. They weren’t trying to be super
spiritual, they weren’t trying to be deep and profound, they were actually just
loving me and in that they revealed God to me.
So this is a challenge I am now able to undertake. I want to
be that for people. I don’t want to strive for that, that would totally defeat
the whole purpose. But as always, my deepest desire is to make an impact on
every person I come into contact with. So with that deepest desire, I get to
show people Christ.
I want to live a life that is a reflection of His heart. I
want to know His heart so that I CAN be that.
Therefore I ask you, have you been impacted by a simple
conversation? Have you been totally humbled in the moment of receiving
encouragement from someone? Feeling so undeserving of this, but in that very
moment realizing that we don’t deserve the unhindered love of God, BUT He
lavishes us with it anyways! We as people have the beautiful and rich
opportunity to change lives, mighted by the power of God. We don’t have to TRY
to do it, as we love Jesus… HE DOES IT through us!!
I feel like we hinder ourselves from being used fully. I
don’t know why. I am sure that everyone has different reasons, and different
insecurities that hinder this. But I think we should try. Try to be Jesus
intentionally and naturally, not striving, just being. I don’t really know what
that fully means… but I know it is a good reminder of the massive opportunities
I have every day.
