Have you ever thought about what you look like from God’s perspective? Today, my devotional I’ve begun to use asks me to take a look at myself from exalted God’s perspective? It seemed instantaneous that I knew why a year and a half ago God asked me to begin to journal to Him. He wanted me to know my exalted God. Once I could see Him as Exalted I could then see myself as redeemed by Him and His work with His Son Jesus. My life had been lived attempting to please a God who was never going to be pleased because the God I knew wasn’t the One True God. The God I knew overlooked the flaws in me and the sins of me because I worked hard to please Him. Well, now I know the lies of my thinking. God also knew I was never going to turn myself around so He asked me to journal to Him so I could actually find the One True God who loved me unconditionally. He had wanted me to know the extent of work He and His Son had done so I could stand before Them one day–redeemed. I find this so amazing!
Yesterday’s post was telling of my inner struggle even today as I continue walking with God completing the work He wants me to do. By the end of the day I was going back to the unworthy, unfit person who couldn’t do this. This morning I asked God when I would ever get to the place of stability with Him? He told me I would not get there this side of heaven. This is something He wants me telling to the world so the world knows He doesn’t need us to be perfect to come to Him. He already has paved a perfect plan for us. He wants us to accept it and believe it is real for each of us. My confession will help others take their step. If we believers don’t confess our own deficiency others won’t either. I guess this simply empowers me to be ok with my humanness knowing God is ok with it too.
God is truly the one and only Exalted God. Taking a moment to let yourself be seen at His level will allow you to see Him at His level. There is no condemnation there. That was all down here with me not with Him. All this starts with me believing. Wow, isn’t God amazing!
