He Is Faithful To His Faithfulness

When our focus is toward our needs, our sight deceives what is true.  Don't you ever wonder why God made our eyes to not be able to look at ourselves?  Maybe no one else is as quirky as I am ......but maybe someone else ponders the things of God from all view points. 

 

Think about this:  God made our eyes to see beyond the end of our own nose, beyond the exterior of our own skin.  We must look down in order to see our self.  We must put our limbs out and in front of us in order to see them.  But then......someone invented mirrors.  Without reflections we would have been at the mercy of others perceptions of what we look like.  We spoke about this last year as we discussed the limitations of our sight and memories verses the advantage of being blind and having to form a visual based on texture, dimensions etc.

 

When we are consumed with our emotions and what is happening toward us, anxiety, worry and doubts may enter into our minds and hearts.  We, then, loose sight of the needs of those around us; it all becomes about what we need.  Unfortunately, this can desensitize us to the promptings of God's spirit and good will toward others. 

 

The reason I am bringing this up is for us to think about God's faithfulness.  God is faithful to Himself, not us.  He displays even lavishes the outpouring of His faithfulness upon us to restore His name.  We are the recipient of all this, but it is for His glory and His namesake.  If He had of made the terms of His faithfulness as a payment for our first being faithful to Him, we would be in control of the universe - not Him.  With our human nature being so "self" focused mankind would have been literally doomed; don't you think?

  Ezekiel 36: 22, 23: “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went.  I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD,” declares the Lord GOD, “when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight.

 

 

• God did not love us because we first loved Him
• God did not send His only begotten son because we were so faithful and good toward Him
• God did not raise Christ up from the death that our sin caused him, because we were holy, lovely and pure
• God did not give us His holy spirit because we are wise, all knowing and would prosper others with His Almighty power.

 

• God is faithful because of Himself
• God is jealous because we are the objects / focus of His desires
• God desires to be the object / focus of our desire  - a wonderful mutually exclusive adoration, loyalty, LOVE.  
• Which culminates in this harmonious loving, sacrificial relationship, wherein, all our desires are filled - enabling us to also, now, giving this love into the lives of all others.

 

Think about these words:

 

Because of your great Love.........
Because of Christ's Love for you.......
Because of your Spirit which empowers........
By faith, we shall overcome

 

We rise up, over troubles around us
We reach higher than alone we could extend
We receive your abilities from above us
And together, through Christ we surely live

 

In fear, we shrink back, we can't rise
In Love all these fears aren't perceived
For your blanket covers all as you clutch us
In your arms, we are carried where you go

How often you've longed to embrace us
As a hen with your chicks under wing
May we love what you love and embrace you
And your will be allowed to protect

Dear Father, in heaven above us
Full of grace, full of peace filled with Love
Let our heart feel the beat of Christs blood line
Let your breath be the power in our soul

Choose this day, the spirit you're embracing
For it is YOUR choice, not mine to make
I'm faithful to protect all who call out
Requesting to partake in my life

Some may see but believe they'll remain standing
Through the troubles of their moments in time
May they seek beyond mere mortal minutes
The lesser things, under heaven which won't stand

Pray for the lost, blind and lamenting.....
The widows, the children and My plans
Merge with the words which I've given
And shine them into darkness, so there's light

Speak to their fears, based on wisdom
Only my words encourage and lead
All other paths will deceive them.....
For there is no other way, but through me

Be patient, Be gentle, Be holy.....
Be truthful, Be kind, Be Divine
For I AM, so you too shall Be
For their cause, I have compassion to share

For this cause I create....he deceives them
So my children, must believe what I see
Not the things which this world exposes
All the predestined things which I set

If today, you know not what I'm saying....
Then today is a New Day indeed!
For the wise one will request revelation
And receive to be faithful unto me

As I AM, so now are you faithful.....
I am just, as are you in Christ, within Me
My spirit rightly divides all things
When searched, found in faith, you're prepared

In fear, crouching down, my spirit passes
For only in hope, may my righteousness stand
Their eyes seek, their necks stretch for the sighting
To give their honor and glory to the King.


I pray, today we all stop using our eyes to gaze upon our "self"; but instead use them for what He divinely created them for: to seek Him and allow Him to value all else.  May we all, BE satisfied for once,  cast away our insatiable appetites, which can never be filled, and simply BE grateful that we do indeed LIVE.

With Love, In Christ
Kisses,
Candace
