Things of Symbolism & Importance...

There are those times in a person's life where they truly recongnize what is valuable to them and what makes them cringe inside. Today, I thought I had made a major break through just by telling my family that I was reading a book about dating and relationships but then today everywhere someone was told to read, and I truly felt that God was telling that He had something else to say to me. I didn't do it until this afternoon but I did eventually. Then I read something that made me come to grips, I need to find MYSELF and the passions that God has bestowed upon me for His kingdom before I even think about relationships or any of that sort. And as I looked back at what really has mattered to me, I see the things that have brought true joy, and happiness, music and being a part of others in the sense of this:

John 17:15-17

15My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

For me, it means I can be in the world but not of the world. I can live in it and have loved ones that are a part of it but that doesn't mean that I have to be of that. I can and will still continuously love my Daddy, Abba, even if I sin. I know He loves me No matter what. That's just an amazing thing to comprehend.

I still sit here and ponder His will for the life that He created for me to live for Him. I just know that I am a blank sheet of paper and Jesus is the CRAYON. I am the blank canvas and He is the WATER COLORS. I am nothingness and Jesus is Everything.

God is The Painter. The Ultimate Artist. The Musician. The Speaker. The Everything.
