Its really been a hectic past week. Exams have been raging on, personal to-do list has piled up, the house has turned chaotic with the influx of so many "immigrants" hanging around til the wee hours of the morning. Gods been moving mightily in my midst. The heaviness of his presence is constantly around me. Don't get me wrong!, its an awesome feeling. But the more and more a being so holy and righteous as God pours down on me, my failures and shortcomings are even more apparent to myself. Its like a purple uv light shining across a white sheet, The dirt and stains become apparent.
It would be safe to say im walking out of my comfort zone, And i've never hung out with God this close before. He constantly tells me "You Are, You Will Be, You Are" and unsurprisingly my response is always "How, How, and How?". How does a person like me warrant the grace and favor that he shows me? I dont recall doing anything exceptionally well that could lead me to all of this. Just as a child is nurtured and brought up til it can look after itself, The driving force behind it is love. It doesn't deserve it. But parents pour out so much hope, love and ambition on they're children.
But Hey, thats exactly like God! Then again isn't he like the first father of anything ever. Adam was his kid! And in the book of Genesis you could see how fond God was of him. C'mon! He made him in his image even.
So thats exactly how God is towards us aswell. A loving parent that has an inexhaustible source of love, full of hope on you, and has ambition on you (After all he knows all your capabilities and strengths because he made you :) ). And what can our response be to all of this? Its like all of a sudden we're the children of a multi-billionaire!. We inherit his company and all of the perks associated with it. Its utterly mindblowing. I guess that would be the closest example I could think of.
The proper response from here on out would be, "Hey! I dont deserve all this, But if he has entrusted me with all of this, He must think im capable enough, So I'll do the best I can"
Ask any kid of a multibillionaire who has inherited a company (If you happen to know anyone).
What would he do from there? The most probable answer you would get is to make it grow. And in that we should do the same.
