What God's Not Looking for:
He doesn't seem to be looking for more people to "carry" the torch, or to "run" the race or to "act" more like Jesus. He seems to have far too many already that are trying to be more like Jesus but yet keep Him out because they don't want to want to trust Him, and they don't want to want Him, so they don't allow Him access to or into their lives and loves. So there are far too many trying to "control" their relationship with God while also trying to "control" their relationships with others too. But God is the Only One in the Universe with any Control at all. And to the degree we submit to Him (by His Own Working in our lives and slowly usually painfully baby steppingly learning to trust Him) and ipso facto we begin to walk in His Control but it’s according to His Will in this space and not our own. For when we were seeking our own way(s) and our own “control(s)” “over” whatever..., we found that wasn’t control at all and we were only walking in our own delusion(s) being deceived and deceiving others. And so the control He gives us isn't control "over" others or even circumstances, but "self control" and even that is on loan from God by His Spirit. And that kind of self control gives the ability to fall under Jesus Authority (True Authority) rather than our own authority (which is nothing). And these are His Fruits in our lives not something that we have done. Our job is that we let Him do it and let Him in more etc..., but make no mistake, He is doing the Work, and Grace is Running the Race.
What God IS Looking for:
God isn't looking for more people to "do" stuff. He's looking for more kids to adopt, for The Spirit of Adoption says come, and it is Jesus that gives us the power to become the children of God. That we would be known by Him that He would put His Spirit inside of us to translate Him to us so that as He reveals Himself to us personally and individually, that we might actually know Him, not just somebody else's concept of Him. So He's looking for more fountains...., vessels willing to let Him empty them of themselves so He can fill them with more of Himself and so that He can flow through them..., Torrents of Living Water to give drink and Bread and Meat to a starving world that often isn't even aware that they're starving for Real Nourishment. And they’ll come to drink and eat and be satisfied by more of Jesus. And when He leads you into the fields, the fields begin rising up to meet you and the ground or harvest yields its Increase. And in the process of being lost inside Jesus, He introduces us to who we really are in Him and who we were meant to be. No one ever finds their true selves outside of Jesus. So He's looking for Torches and Salts and Lights, but where He's The Torch in them, He's The Seasoning in them, and He's The Light in them. It's Jesus, it's All About Him and it's not about us. In The Volume of The Book (Bible) it is written About Him and "For" and "To" us but not about us..., it was written about Jesus and about what He did and does and will do in spite of us and what He does through those who let Him, showing Himself Strong.
Help The Cause
Your support in prayers and getting the word out will help enable me to spend more time reaching out and connecting both outside the Body of Christ and inside the Body of Christ to those that might need a clearer understanding of Who God is and just how big of a part He plays in getting each of us better connected with Him, with the body, and building His Kingdom. Your support will help that mission.
