Just Be.

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.
