To be enamored with Christ: to be so in awe of Him that I can't even speak. I know over the summer I've gotten to points where I feel the Lord's presence so strong that I have been brought speechless because of his greatness. Check this out, ya'll.
"I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called faithful and true. WIth justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself." Revelation 19:11-12
Okay, while all that basically makes me want to pee my pants, what I think is insanely cool is this bit at the end:
"He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself."
That just goes to show there that there is NO WORD that can fully describe Jesus Christ. Yes, he is the creator. He is awesome, Yahweh, Abba, all of those things! But he is GREATER-so great that we can't even fathom it..Which is why he is the only one that knows the name written on his robe..if that makes sense!
Do I need to say anything else, really? God is stinking legit. End of story!
Then why is it so hard for me to love Him?
Something I've noticed that I'm having a huge problem with is focusing on my mistakes, instead of my love for Christ. I can't tell you how many times this week, in these past three days that I"ve been near tears because I feel like I'm not living well enough for the Lord. My eyes have been opened to the things that I need to work on in my walk with the Lord-loving people more, judging less, etc...But my problem? I dwell on it. I dwell on my mistakes, and I let my gaze shift from my love for the Lord- from me being ENAMORED, to my mistakes.
Life verse? Hebrews 12:2
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, author and perfecter of our faith....." Yeah and it continues, but you get the gist.
God is forgiving. The cross? hello! duh, Hannah! If I'm focusing on my mistakes, focusing on what I have to do and what I'm doing wrong...That's not focusing on God, because news flash! I'm NOT perfect, and I'm for sure NOT God! I still haven't been able to figure out why it's so hard for me to let go of my imperfections and just focus on the awe-inspiring love of Christ. The Bible says so many times not to worry!
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
I feel like if I were to just look to the Lord, and just allow myself to be enamored...So many doors would be opened! I think it's time to stop focusing on my mistakes. The key is to repent, and allow God to do away with it! He tells us to cast our cares on Him, because he will sustain us! (Psalm 55:22)
Well, that's about it for this one here... Keep reading!(: God bless!
