One in a Million, Million...

“…Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple." (Colossians 1:27, Message)

Sometimes, we try to make this Walk more complicated than it really is. But for anyone who truly internalizes “Jesus is just Who He says He is,” the simple, rather outrageous truths are these because He "is in you":

We are built for Eternity, not just the here and now

We have the heart of and for God, not to keep it to ourselves

We have His hands and feet to serve, and lift, and heal, with all of Heaven's goodness

We have the mind of Christ, to think, act, and live in extraordinary, supernatural ways

We have the joy of the Lord as our strength

We have the wisdom of God whenever we ask

We have the peace of God that passes all our understanding

We have the love of God as our fuel for all things

We have the authority of God from the unshakeable Word of God

We are built to rule and reign, to love and live fully, on earth as it is in heaven

And no matter what condition our body parts may be in

Or how old or young

There is no expiration date on our spiritual tools and weapons

We have each been hand-crafted for His pleasure and His glory

To bring hope where there isn’t much at the moment

To bring Light where darkness and fear are suffocating

Wherever that “bring” may be, and however it may look and flow through each one

And all that is missing is …

An activation button, a switch, a step forward in faith

On our part

Because the choice is always ours

Because we have been built with free will to follow Him... or not

To obey Him ...or not,

To live for eternal and Kingdom purposes...or not,

To be an activated “in you” person...or not

"You made me; You created me.

    Now give me the sense to follow Your commands." (Psalm 119:73)

Yes, what the psalmist said.

To simply choose daily to take the “or not” option off the table

To put on my true identity of being built by Him from head to toe, inside and out,

Through and through

For entirely wonderful, eternal purposes

For sharing in God's glory, even in the most surprising, natural settings

And circumstances and conversations

It’s really that simple…

“God put a million, million doors in the world
For His love to walk through
One of those doors is you.” — Jason Gray
