Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Romans 8:29, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
In our daily life, everything is significant because we know we have been predestinated.
We have been marked out ahead with a destiny, which is to be conformed to the image of God’s Son.
So turning to Jesus and interacting with Him, calling upon Him, touching Him, is the meaning of my life.
It is the meaning of every shortage I find in myself.
Do you understand that the meaning of your shortages and weaknesses is Christ?
Your shortage is not just something for you to overcome, to get through, to be rid of.
That is not what it is for.
It is for Christ to make His home in your heart.
Ephesians 3:17, “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,”
We think that for Christ to make His home in our hearts, we need to “clean up the house.”
But this means that we would be the savior.
We would work to present ourselves to God in a perfect condition, as though we were the ones doing it.
However, this is not the way Christ makes His home in our hearts.
Instead, we bring our rickety, broken-down house–with the messes, with the clutter in the closets–we bring it to Him and say, “Jesus, now You live here.
You cleanse my heart.
You come in and do all the work, Lord.”
This is the purpose of all our problems.
It is about Christ taking over the job and making home in our hearts.
It is not arriving at a perfect state that I have accomplished by my own energy.
It is a perfect touch, a perfect interaction, with a perfect Person who is my supply.
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love
Pastor
