There is one thing I crave more than anything in this world, and that is to be more like Jesus Christ. I want to walk like him, I want to talk like Him, right now I even feel the need to look like Him.
Jesus Christ is the reason I live a life filled with unmerited favour (Grace). He is also the reason I am free of condemnation, guilt and shame; sin doesn’t stand a chance against me any longer. Despite His state of perfection and regardless of the fact that He was so pure righteous in all His ways, Jesus was condemned by the world (on my behalf) to become sin so that I might live a life filled with manifestations of the Glory of God; How amazing is that?
I cried out to God this morning through this prayer;
Heavenly father, I miss you so much. I love you with everything inside of me. Father help that love to manifest outwards. Please Jesus, each step I take should be a progressive step towards becoming more like you Lord. Holy Spirit overtake me, in my actions, in my words, in all that I do.
There are some of us who love God so much and we don’t know how to express it. The things of the world distract us and get in the way far too often. Gods love is gripping, in fact, the full extent of his overwhelming and reckless love hasn’t fully been revealed to me, but what I feel right now is enough to afflict my heart of worldly engagements. If there are any of you, who like me, struggle to feel this affliction constantly (that is, every second of every day), please pray the prayer above with me.
I have been praying and asking God for the grace to love, and it’s the most beautiful thing to observe my prayers being answered. My heart burns with passion towards everyone who is trying to get to know more about this God I love so dearly.
I need you guys to know this; The only pre-requisite to coming to know God is that you are actively seeking Him, nothing else is required of you. Anyone who informed you of the need to act, talk, pray or even dress a certain way has quietly frankly, lied to you. All you need is YOU; come as you are. He loves you the way you are now and you will start to feel and respond to that love once you get to know Him.
