The Unknown.

The unknown.  I find myself facing it.
And sometimes my flesh wants to feel...
Afraid
Unable
Weak
Dumb
A mess up
Like breaking down
To sum it up, sometimes my flesh wants to feel incompetent.

  But praise be to my Faithful Father!  He makes me able to choose Him and all that he is instead.
He is always. Who He is, His word, and His Spirit are constant.
Even though my circumstances and situations change,  He is still The King of Kings and I am still His.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.-In Christ Alone

  So in everything in life, I choose my Lord.  He and nothing less is my all.
Through the unknowns;  in, through and too The Almighty I will look up, pressing into and onto HIM.
Praise The Living God, He IS my strength!

     It is in His Presence, Power, and Spirit that I do life.  How about you?

His.

That is who I am.

  In Him I am:

Purpose-filled

Excellent

Treasured

Filled with abundant life

Radiant 

A warrior

Beautiful 

Victorious

Have Him in abundance

Called (and the list goes on...)

  Without Christ I am nothing.  Sometimes, I'll think I am, though that in it self proves that I am nothing. But Christ looks at me and He declares 'MINE!'.  And never stops. 

  

    You see, He is faithful.  Even though I've sometimes not chosen faithfulness, He always does.  Even though I've sometimes failed to the max,  He always accomplishes above the max.  Even though I've sometimes chosen anger or hurt, He always forgives.  Even in those moments that I really didn't want to chose Him, He has always chosen me. 

And that's just it.  He is always.  He has loved me.  Always.

  The best part? 

He doesn't look at me and see the wretch that I used to be.  Christ looks at me and sees His. 

strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. -Colossians 1:11-14 NASB

...He rescued me, because He delighted in me. -Psalms 18:19 

...You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. -Psalms 23:5-6

“But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: -Isaiah 41:8, 9 NKJV

   Who am I?

I am redeemed. 

Look up.

Seriously. In Christ, we have LIFE! That's something to set yourself upon!

What you focus on is where you end up. So my question for is simply this: is Christ your focus? 

This is something I think we need to continually strive for DEEPER. HE is the one found worthy of your life, and your physical life starts in your not physical mind. 

  Focus on Christ, His Word, and making an impact for Him. It's a chose. 

 

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4 NASB
