Ephesians 2:10...
We have all read it.
But tonight or I guess this morning it hit me.
The fact that I am His worksmanship.
I am a firstfruit of Christ.
And that I was created with love and out of hands that only make perfect things.
I am created perfectly for Christ alone! So amazing... Just had to share that revelation.
Last night after church I found myself discipling a dear sister.
God had me going straight to the bible before I spoke about anything.
Before I gave any counsel.
Thinking back I am astonished at how I found all these verses and chapters so easily.
So crazy!
Anyways, I digress.
After counseling her, I realized that God had once again managed to make beauty out of ashes.
Earlier that day I was attacked hardcore by the enemy.
I was FEELING and THINKING far too much.
I was alone with my thoughts and I just really wanted to not serve at church or see anyone be joyful.
But I read the word and ate something and got my butt to church.
Before anything I asked my sisters to pray for me.
And then we all shared what we needed prayer for.
God showed me something so amazing during and after prayer.
He showed that I was at church.
A place for the broken.
A haven.
A house or home for the lost.
Yes, I was hurting.
Yes, I didnt want to commit.
But people who had undergone horrible weeks.
People who had gone through rough battles.
People who had been defeated.
These are the people who would be walking in the door.
These are the people who would be receiving my smile or my hug.
These are the people I was going to be serving in His name.
"you are not alone Che"
And then I heard the singing begin in the sanctuary.
And I praised God.
You see my dear friend, this life isn't about my pity parties.
It no longer is meant to be lived for me.
I am His workmanship.
I am not my own, in fact I was bought out of my pity parties at a price.
A big price.
The price of a life.
God didn't say that sticking by His side through life would be easy.
But He promised He would bear fruit in us if we did.
I know I'm all over the place but I just had such an amazing and hard day and God revealed so much!
There is so much to distract me in Orange County.
So much in this life to keep me from praising God and looking out for the interests of others.
Timothy was described as this person in Phillipians 2:19-21?...
I'm too lazy to go check.
But Paul says that He was more interested in the welfare of OTHERS and the interests of Christ.
That is where the focus should lay for us believers.
Not in the pity parties.
Not in the lonliness but in Christ and others.
We can't care for others without Christ.
We can't love ourselves without focusing on Christ.
It all begins and ends in Him in so many ways and I was just blown away by His faithfulness this Sunday.
Hope you guys are being blessed.
I'd love to hear what Christ showed you Sunday!!
