A few weeks ago Josh ended the discussion by asking the questions, "Who are we in God, Who are we in Family, Who are we in our Work/community, and Who are we in ourselves?"
This past week we explored the first part of the question, who are we in God. It was a beautiful time of reflection and meditation that was closed with a time worship. We had a slide show going of verses that speaks of who we are in God, and what God thinks of us.
One verse that I found to be extremely beautiful was, " How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! I try to count them—they are more then the sand; I come to the end —I am still with you." Psalms 139:17-18
God Loves us so much He calls us sons and daughters, His bride, His friends, and so much more good stuff.
As we continue to wrestle with who we are in God lets Ask and seek, continually knocking on Gods door begging Him to show us. Asking God to show us who He is, asking Him to revel His secrets to us.
The more we know God the more we discover who we are are. As we discover who we are we are truly able to live out who we were created to be. Jesus said he came that we may live life abundantly. As we know Him and know ourselves our life becomes more and more whole. As we draw closer and get to know, the Author of life we can partake in the song that God started long ago when He began to unfurl His plan of redemption for all things. We can join God in the sacred dance of love and reconciliation and invite others to join with us as we press in closer to our LORD. How great is the love the Father!
I'll end with a quote which I read the other day from a Jewish scholar Abraham Joshua Heschel "In sacred deed, we echo God's suppressed chant; in loving we intone God's unfinished song. No image of the Supreme may be fashioned, save one: our own life as an image of His will."
Grace and peace,
Chris
