Who I Am In Christ
My experience at New Psamist has been marked by tremendous growth in my relationship with Jesus Christ. My journey has been difficult, but fruitful. I have learned through agonizing situations to wait on Him and to listen to His silence as well as His voice.
Sometime ago, while listening to God, He promised to do something special in my life. But, He added to the promise:
"...until then, focus on Me and who you are in Christ."
For awhile a spent time thinking about the promise and how God would bring it to pass. Then, I realized that He had given me a directive to focus on Him! This was the most important part of his message. He gave me the promise to get my attention, but HIs desire was that I focus on Him.
But, what did all of this mean? Who I am In Christ... Who am I in Christ? What God seemed to be asking me to do is unapologitically own the fact that I am His. I seek his presence and I cherish intimate moments with Him. I quake at the sound of the hymn Holy, Holy, Holy. I cringe in the face of inustice. I confront authority when it justifies ungodliness in the name of religiosity, dogma and politics. I have struggled with doing the right thing when I knew the consequences would be inconvenient. I've been teased and mocked and ostracized for making the right choice. But, that is who I am in Christ. That's who I am.
