His Glory :)

Ok, so you really need to check this out.

2 Corinthians 3
"Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!"

As I read this today I could sense the power in these verses. The story of Moses shining so gloriously when faced with God is now brought to us. The glory of the Spirit now in us. We too will shine in glory! Moses put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. But hear this: "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

Hang on people for the ride of your life. May we no longer be infants in our faith, but seek this transformation in our lives. Have you ever met anyone that you just knew had the Spirit of Christ within them? I love that! All of us Christians have that same Spirit. I guess I just am blown away when I think of what it must have been like for Moses - then to read that it will be even more for us. vs. 11 says "And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!" This glory we now carry within us.

Transformation is just the best. When we allow God to step in - deep in to our lives and ask him to begin transforming us, being open to whatever in our life he wants to work on, our life begins changing in such ways that you cannot even imagine even going back to what was. You will begin to see things in yourself that you will say "really, God, you need to work on this? I didn't know that was an issue." But it sure gets fun!

We are loved with such passion by our creator. So often tears fill my eyes when I think how he loves me even when I am being pitiful. No matter where we are in life he just wants to love on us and for us to know his presence in our life. This glory that scripture talks about in our life - well, press into Jesus and you will see him. Remember the promises are always "yes". "Draw near to me and I will draw near to you."

THIS IS HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED! LIVE TODAY KNOWING HE IS IN YOU!
