Every now & then, with the hustle & bustle of our busy lives. If we are selfless enough in our own attitudes or thinking?... sometimes you can experience what i like to call "A moment of clarity!"
Today as i was driving to work, i was blessed for a brief moment of say 10min, to experience one of these moments of clarity. I had just finished a phone call with my Pastor about my inner most desire to want to know God on a deeper level. I spoke about my need to be more disciplined & committed to studying the word & prayer time with him.
As i was driving, i was going over & over the phone conversation, until something my pastor said caused me to have my moment of clarity. I remembered my pastor said something along the lines of....If you value yourself you........Now the word Value really jumped out at me, so much so i quickly found myself asking questions like "Do i see any value in my self, & in what i do?" " Because if i did, then surely i would be more diciplined & focused concerning my natural & spiritual life?"
It was at that very moment that i realised with a deep sence of knowing that GOD who is the creator and giver of life to all things VALUES my friendship and intimacy with him. I began to weep as i was driving through Subiaco on my way to work. My moment of clarity was of how much God, who has now become my only Father, Who is All Mighty & Holy. God who knows everything about everything, God who is often rejected because of religious doctrines & pride amongst his creation. Completely believes & values me more than anything he has ever created. Everyday, he is excited when i awaken too see the new day he has created for me to walk & talk with him. Lets face it, if God was anything like our selfish nature...He could be doing anything else he wants too, like creating new universes? or planets in the furtherest galaxy? But instead he just wants me to get to know him and to enjoy the company of his fellowship.
My belief is that Intimacy is God's yearning desire with all his children. It is this desire that his Love is expressed through Jesus.Its not meant to be earnt, worked for like the older brother of the prodigal son, but rather a simple change of heart attitude from self to selflessness.
My mantra if i can say that amongst super spiritual christians is " I am more Christ centred & less Self centred!"
I Love u Daddy!
