How many times have I fallen into the trap of expressing the symptoms of Christianity, rather than ensuring that inside, my condition was addressed by the true Healer? I can get so caught up in going and doing that I forget it is less about what I do and more about who HE is.
"I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountains I cant climb.
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer of the oceans raging wild.
I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the hurt I hold inside. "
The fact that it is not about me - that is grace. As long as I lift my eyes, I will not be too concerned with symptoms. What's more - I am no longer diseased. While I may still have hurt inside, I believe it is just residual traces, still being sorted out and molded in the process of sanctification. And grace continues to abound - in showing me adventure, in withholding what my depraved soul deserves, and ultimately in allowing me to be a part of His story. Gosh, I want to overflow with grace. It is cascading toward me; there is no reason I should not be passing that very same love on. I am no longer diseased. Besides, all grace is given for the same sole purpose, right...
"Oh for the GRACE to enjoy the ONE THING NECESSARY." Luke 10:42
