A Fiery Treasure

       I’m finding more and more the inability of myself to be who I preach to be. Oh, thank God that I would not be the sole of my righteousness or the thumb of my life. I’m not the authority over my heart, Christ is and with all the authority I don’t have, I claim to engage the trustworthiness of my King. I’m not working toward being a better man or minister, but rather, I’m working to be Christ’s man, yes, Christ’s, faithfully sitting at His feet, allowing nothing to rule me but His perfect word and perfect guidance.
There is only one Guide and one Way. Yes, only One is able to Be when all of our hellish lives come to a close. It will be either Christ or nothing. You will either be satisfied in the eternal bliss of His presence or be forever wanting in the wrath of His presence upon your evil flesh. Christ, who is all and in all is the foundation of your life, you are not free to wander every which way to fleeting pleasures, but rather, you are to wander the surpassing wonders of Christ. Your guide to life is not simple instructions and moral ideals, but rather, the Person of Christ.
The Person of Christ draws from the unending glory of God, pouring out loving grace after loving grace to wash away every sin and recreate every righteousness, meaning we are to the mere product of our works. Often times, we make light of our salvation by assuming obedience to be the work of fleshly discipline, but no, our salvation is the saving grace over fleshly discipline and that same grace pierces through the mind, into the heart of all that we are and regenerates the creation of man in God’s image. We are not a small thing, but a massively large thing, living and abiding by small things. We were not called to porn, television, games and other pass-times. We were called to the living God, never seeking anything but that significant glory, wherein we find the fullness of who we are linked to fullness of who Christ is, the fullness that fills all in all.
So, the question remains: what are you seeking? Does King and Kingdom drive the fullness of your life or are you a Pharisee, who tries to serve God with flesh, but in all honesty, serves his greatest treasure, which is his reward and not his Lord. Don’t be found wanting when Judgement comes, be found waiting and resting in light of His glorious grace, which pounds second upon second, pressing toward the finish of this great race. You’re called to nothing less than Christ’s fullness and the lightest of your desires must be found submitted to His fire. Let yourself be gold, the apple of His eye, a great and worthy treasure that in all His grace, you’d let Him not everything, withhold.
