I struggle with
believing. I know so very little. I am, however, convinced of the following.
There is more.
(People don´t remind
me of this enough. And so I become adjusted to the self-righteous status quo
and satisfied with a slightly above-average level of good deeds and efforts. I
do just enough and achieve just enough to consider myself completely happy…most
of the time.)
There is more to life, more to God, more to
true Love…more than has ever met your eye or entered your imagination.
(Most people don´t
look for the “more.” And so I don´t look either because such a search wouldn´t
be applauded or understood. I fear the risk of pursuing something Intangible,
because what if it´s actually not there?)
Whether you are smiling or crying, brimming
with faith or full of doubt, in love with the world or in love with Jesus,
indifferent or intrigued, a redeemed sinner or a hollow saint, or anywhere in
between…please take a moment to consider—there is MORE.
(People like me
gloss over their emptiness and others are overwhelmed by it. Either way finds
us wasting away our days and years acquiring more things, debts, pride,
experiences, blessings, human knowledge…but missing out on the “more” we were
destined for.)
If you have glimpsed a Love of a different
order—there is more to be experienced. If you have been disillusioned by people
you trusted or ideologies you believed—there is more to life. If you have
inherited a blurry or contradictory picture of God´s character—there is more to
God. If you think you know what real love is—there is more to true Love. There is more in the limitless heart of God. Undeniable
Love? Breath-taking depths? Safe places? Yes, there is more.
A thousand times Amen. I've been musing over this a lot myself lately. I resonate with this so much. I believe there is so much more too. Oh to search for it as for hidden riches.
ReplyDeleteHannah! it is always (i repeat always) a blessing to know that God has been working similarly in the thoughts and musings of another sister or brother! we must keep each other in prayer as we try to value this pursuit for more of God above all else! thanks for your comment.
