Psalm 26:4 says, "One thing I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple."
There was a man who existed more than 2,000 years ago. I'm beginning to know the lines on His face, and the hope in His heart. I'm beginning to see the patience that ensues within Him, and the love that goes beyond any depth we know. I'm just starting to understand His incredible lack of self, and I'm barely able to crawl in the steps of His life, and all of this is only by His grace. I'm an infant in my faith, but by that small faith, He's growing me. This man still roams in the valleys where you feel alone, He still soars on the mountains you believe were your own, He's the hope in the eyes of addicts and the compassion that penetrates in the hearts of murderers. He existed more than 2,000 years ago but I tell you the truth, He still lives.
It's been an immeasurable adventure accepting Jesus Christ into my life, allowing Him to be the pitval point of all my decisions and choices. It's been frightening and lovely to have my heart revealed by Him to me; what murky waters it has. It's been exceptional to give my life for a being far greater than my own, and He has given so many enriched moments that I could not ask or imagine for. He said in Ezekiel 36:26 that "A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
He's done that,
won't you join me on this blessed journey?
