This is where life happens

This is where life happens. Life doesn’t happen through a useless exchange of my thoughts. Life happens when God speaks. God stirs our heart and reveals himself to us. This is where life happens. In the very core of who we are; the core of us that screams our own unique identity. When we get past the everyday non-sense, and listen to our Creator and His purpose.

The heavens declare the Glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork
Psalm 19:1

Glory is defined as splendor, abundance, and beauty.
So, the heavens declare the splendor, abundance and beauty of God

God has created us unique and given all of us a unique purpose
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints
Eph 1:17-18

The calling of your life is the glory of your life. Life is not about the: should’ve, could’ve or would’ve. Life is about asking, seeking and knocking on our one unique purpose in which God has created for. The splendor, abundance and beauty of your life is your glory. What glory has God put in you for His glory?

That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me. Col 1:29

When we cannot distinguish between the large things and small things in life, we become of no use.
-Winston Churchill

All that matters in life is one thing. What is that one thing? You will have to find that out yourself…
-Curly, City Slickers

Ephesians 1:17; God will give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him

Do not underestimate the importance of life and who you are:
You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet. Psalm 8
We posses an aspect of God.
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Cor 3:18

Our intimacy spectrum with God: Where are you? If we are honest, most of us are no higher than 4. We deem ourselves as just slaves with no real intimate relationship with God.
Potter to the clay
¨ God molding and shaping us
Shepard to the sheep
¨ God saying follow me
Vine to the branch
¨ Attached and dependent
Master to the servant
¨ We become a servant in our Masters house
Teacher to the student
¨ God gives us what we need
God to His friends
¨ God is our intimate ally
Bridegroom to His bride
¨ Intimate needs are fulfilled

God is at work in you, so what’s the story?
Do not ask what the world needs…
Ask, what makes you alive… This is what the world needs…
