However, as I began to write I realized that I had not spent much time with my Creator today. The one who is the whole reason why I exist, breath, and really live in freedom. There is so much life found in simply conversing with Him and it shows in my mood when I fail to do so.
Anyhow, I realize that by writing this much of a post, I am contradicting my statement that I should go spend time with Him before other things. Nevertheless, I decided to write a short bit to convey what God put on my heart. I had a realization of a way in which my thinking was a bit off. Here it is:
I wanted to put up a blog because I wanted people to see me.
Now this is a simple statement so I'll explicate. Most bloggers, if you ask them, get a satisfaction out of people seeing the brilliance of their day to day thought or action which often goes unnoticed. Now, I am not saying that this necessarily is bad. It is good to be seen by others for who you are because they are not just seeing you but a God who is very much alive in you.
Where the problem comes in is when you are writing or performing or doing anything along those lines in which you are being seen by others in order to be fulfilled.
Only intimacy with God can do that.
We were meant to tell God exactly what we think and feel for the restoration of our soul. This is because only He can see all of who we are, flaws and all, and still be madly in love with us; and out of that love, speak words of life-giving affirmation and guidance.
You were made to be seen by God. If you are seen by others let them see you like they see the moon; wonderful and beautiful and awesome, but only as it reflects the light of the sun (or Son).
Tis all.
