Adopted Sons

I please my Father every time i consider him. He desires my love. He Judges my heart in righteousness and it is Just. He is a Just Judge! He is faithful to my heart. Every single time there is doubt in my mind i am graciously stirred by His judgments and his lovingkindness. and his mercy. He puts me in the wilderness, only to find rivers.

He’s teaching me that jealousy isn’t a bad thing as long as its righteous. That breaks so many false teachings. He created me to be beautiful. So many times we are worried about being genuine with Christ…or with others. We teach our brothers not to be prideful in their holiness. The problem is that holiness is something completely other than pride. In other words if your truly beautiful, then you cant be prideful. Its impossible to be prideful if your beautiful. And I’m not talking beauty in the eyes of man. Our perception of beauty and holiness is so tainted. Gods perception is the only truth we should allow in our hearts. Gods prescription is beauty. His whole plan is that Christ would be glorified by the presentation and manifestation of His beautiful, holy children.

How do you become beautiful?

Gaze on his beauty until you understand that you were made in his likeness. Meditate and revelate. There’s an endless ocean of attributes in this mans heart and you can easily marvel over just one of them for eternity. The point is…Start. Set yourself apart as beautiful. Let the word wash your heart of its filth. There’s a cleansing that will take place if you sit and just meditate on Him. The highest calling a man can get is to wait before the lord. When we wait, He moves. He will give you strength to wait because we all know how much not doing anything is the hardest thing to do.

Its cool that we can be beautiful even when we seem to be the scum of the earth in the eyes of man. I want a heart like David. Even though his own family thought he was a wretch he knew that he was the beloved of God.

Even the angles look at us marvel over us. Why? Because God chose us to be his best creation. Because we get to fight! The last battle is gonna be the most epic because the sons and daughters of the living God are fighting in it. Jesus Christ will have the reward of his suffering. We owe it to Christ to offer ourselves even unto death as His alone. As sloppy as it may look to us, Gods Heart is undone by our gazing.

Burn for this man! Set your heart ablaze for the Christ. Its going to be sloppy!

I used to not be apart of his family…i was an orphan without a father. And then PAPA called me by name and i entered into his house with great Joy. My old man died and my new man is alive forever.

Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
