Alright. I can't sleep tonight, though I really want to.
Too much on my mind and heart. I toss. I turn.
And here I am.
I am bursting with thoughts of being His workmanship, created for good works in Christ. My heart swells with excitement to share this those who will hear.
I am--we are--His workmanship. Knit together in our mother's wombs. Known in the secret place while yet unformed. Called. Chosen...to be His children. Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, of Jesus Christ. Made alive in Christ. Filled with His Spirit--the very Spirit of God--the hour we first believed.
Temples of the Holy Spirit of God. His very presence living inside of you and me!
Gifting us to bless the rest of the Body to which we belong. Sending us to invite all who thirst and are hungry to the table of communion with God in Christ.
What makes you fully alive in Christ today? What has He created you for? What stirs your soul and inspires greatness in your walk with God? What keeps you awake at night, flipping you this way and that like a spatula flipping a pancake. (Okay, that was a bit corney.)
What are the dreams that are brewing deep within, made especially alive when your thoughts are fixed on your Creator and Redeemer and Father and Friend? What makes you burst? What has been quenched and squellched with all sorts of reasons and rationalle as to why it can't happen?
How has God created you to bring glory to Him?
What would make you fully alive today or, in my case, very late tonight?
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." --2 Corinthians 3:17
