As Kyle and I have traversed the recent months of our life together, we've been impacted by the urgency that keeps tugging at our hearts. We continue to sense that God is refining us for a time that is only to be explained in His perfect timing. From relationships to ideas, things have been destructed and rebuilt... the sanctification process is painful because the closer we draw to the cross, the more our sins are revealed and sit in stark contrast to His glory.
Lately, we've been reminded again and again that its easy to find nuggets of Christian wisdom in our society that only circumvent the deep need in each of us to truly seek Jesus. There's such pride and excitement about our ideas of success - which seem to lead to complacency, not urgency. What does it look like to see a body of believers get honest about their sin and begin walking with each other back to the foot of the cross - with nothing other than Jesus at the helm?
Its been a month of sifting through the Enemy's lies and finding Truth in what God is doing and who He has made me to be. In Ephesians 2:8-10 it says 'For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.'
I want to partner with Him in what He said He will do. So we watch and wait; we wait expectantly and in anticipation of when His glory is revealed.
Until then, we wait in joy as He sanctifies us and draws us closer to Himself...
Until then, we watch the skies for signs of His return...
Very cool post!
