Hello Fellow Christians,
Since the age of 11, it’s been pretty obvious that I wasn’t going to make it through life without Jesus taking control of me, my heart, mind and emotions.
I’ve tried to “fit in.” It’s never happened. I’ve wanted the things others have desired. It wasn’t to be. I “wasn’t like everyone else.” That wasn’t what God had for me.
I’m finding that there really isn’t room for anything but Jesus in my life. Funny thing about Jesus is, He is The Life (John 14:6). He gives life more abundantly (John 10:10).
If you can’t make it without Jesus, you’re extremely blessed. You have been called to God’s side and into His Presence. And there, you will dwell. It’s a place of intimacy, a divine relationship of peace, calm, receiving, rest and joy.
I fought His call, His closeness, for years mostly because I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I never found peace trying to understand. In fact, it was when I stopped trying to understand that His peace began to grow in me.
Don’t fight His call to be close to Him. Don’t let the fear of man (even other Christians) abort His plan for you. Don’t let yourself grow weary with trying to understand it. When understanding no longer matters, the storms in this life will be stilled. Don’t question it. Don’t become impatient and frustrated with His (God Almighty, the Great I AM, The Prince Of Peace) calling to your heart. Let it happen. Let Him teach you what it’s like to live at His side. Embrace it, and dwell in the shadow of the Most High in the house of The Lord, forever. ☺
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians 3:15
God bless,
Mark
