If then you have been raised with Christ, SEEK the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. SET your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is HIDDEN WITH Christ IN God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3: 1-4
this has been my dwelling place for the last few days...
amazing once again, how God does indeed work out every little detail in our lives..
4 weeks ago He told me to stay HIDDEN with Him... in His heart. He revealed to me that I had made something, not something bad, but still, I had made this something my top priority even over Him.. that I had to take that down and put Him where He belongs..
I did... and I have dwelt in His presence, hidden WITH Him IN God... delighting in His love and affection, care and concern..
and now, this passage talks about just this.... digging deeper, sinking myself deeper into this, I have discovered yet a much deeper satisfaction than before in seeking Him, His face, His presence, His love, His personality, HIM....... choosing to go to HIM, snuggle in and enjoy this HEAVENLY relationship no matter where my circumstances would have me is becoming more of a habit, something I do right away...
good thing I choose to walk with Him closely... He is always right by my side, so I only have to enter into His embrace and lay down my head where His heart is.. this is and has been my favourite place for almost 4 years, when I first discovered how perfectly my head fits there....
heard something AMAZING yesterday... an add on to the "SOLI DEO GLORIA" all for His glory alone, my reason for being here... not only am I here to bring glory to Him, but also to ENJOY HIM forever .......
He makes me smile, He makes my heart giggle, my soul is radiant, because of His love for me... because of who He is.... because... JUST because.. of HIM...
His presence, seeking it, is not a thing I have to check off each day... it is my hiding place, my place of refuge , but also my most delightful place, my cozy and warm and exciting and exhilarating and fun place to be...... he combines the love we all have longed for from a parent, a child, a lover... and it is all right there... undeserved... unfailing..... eternal....
no matter how long I live, I will never quite be able to figure out the depth and width of His love... that much I already know... oh to one day see His face... until then, I will love Him and seek Him, setting my mind on Him and all things above ... putting my hope in Him and Him alone...
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
