Keeping It Real: And when the men of that
place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country.
People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick
just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed
(Matthew 14:35-36).
In
Christ we are complete, but without Christ we are incomplete. So I
started thinking. If I am complete in Him then why do I feel so
incomplete at times. This verse of Matthew speaks of the ill who need
healing, but isn't that our state. Are we not all in need of a Man who
can heal us from all affliction, physical, mental and yes carnality. In
my complete state I feel satisfied - In 1 Thessalonians 1:3 Paul
reminds me, "remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of
love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our
God and Father".
So
what Paul is telling us is that even in those moments of incompleteness
remember - The same God who presents me, with new grace and new mercies
each day (Lamentations 3). I should and shall seek Him, daily.
So
of course I started thinking how to best describe this process - if I
fill my life with the Spirit of God and then allow other junk in - what
happens? Glad you asked. So I took a cup of cold water, ice cold
water. Filled it to the top, then started to fill the cup with tap
water, guess what happened. All the cold water, was now room
temperature. Yes, when we take all that God has placed in us, and we
start filling it up with other junk, that junk takes over.
All
who gathered, had faith. Faith that just one touch of His cloak and
they were made whole. What are you believing God to do in your life.
He is already a live in you - exercise your faith as the crowd who
gathered on that day, and you too, will be complete. Ya Dig?...
