What do I really know of Holy? If you touched my face would I know You? Looked into my eyes could I behold You? What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame? Are you fire? Are you fury? Are you sacred? Are you beautiful? What do I know of this love?
As I sat in the car singing along with the lyrics, I really gave some thought of the questions that were coming out of my own mouth, it made me . . . . examine my own heart. What do I really know of Holy, of this love that I have for God and He for me? So, today I'm going to tell you what's on my heart of what I know and I prayerfully ask for you to do the same with yourself, so here goes.
What do I know of Holy? I know that I serve a God that loves me beyond measure and blesses me beyond my dreams. I know that even on days when I feel like God has taken a bathroom break, He really hasn't. He probably is waiting for me to shut my mouth so He can tell me what I really NEED to do and not what I'm WANTING to do. I know that I'm in love with a God who loves all, every race, every nationality, every make, kind, and model and truly desires to have a deep and intimate relationship with each one of them. You know those children that adore you so much that they just crave your attention, no matter what they have to do to get it they want it that bad. . . . . . He has that same desire for attention from you and time WITH you. I know that I serve a God who wonders the hallways of hospitals, rest homes, even prisons hoping for a chance to have an encounter with one of His children. He's not always there to heal or have this miraculous moment with you, sometimes He's JUST THERE, with you, in some of those darkest moments, no words, just His presence just to say I love you and I know this hurts but I'll never leave you. I know that I serve a forgiving and merciful God who knows what my past looks like and loves me just the same. No matter how long we have strayed away He is always there to welcome us back home and loves us more than we can ever know. He is fire, He is fury, He is sacred and beautiful, He is all of this plus a healer and provider, the beginning and the end, He is EVERYTHING that we can ever even imagine that we could need.
And to be honest with all of this said He should be our one and ONLY desire, everyday all day. Don't take me wrong I am writing this for myself more than anyone else out there that may read this. God should be what is the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last before I close my eyes at night. I should constantly be thinking of ways to love and serve others in ways to glorify Him completely.
So with this little bit of "What I know of Holy" I pray today, Lord, that You can use me, mold me, and make me into what You need me to be. Help me to be patient with You when I want to know the next step and it's not quite Your time yet. Give me discernment to know what is from You and what is from myself. Help me to find these ways to bless others and be a true and honest reflection of You. . . .
What do you know of Holy?
Happy Monday everyone!
