Jesus Lives by Sarah Young
Seeing His Love in Your Life
In union with God I
am complete. In the closeness to Him I am transformed more and more into the
one He designed me to be.
He knows that I
often feel incomplete, as if some vital part of me is missing. When this is
just a feeling, not a conscious thought, I respond to many unproductive ways:
comforting myself with food, seeking entertainment, searching myself in the
mirror, and so on…All the while He is with
me, patiently waiting for me to remember Him. If I continue to go my own
way --seeking satisfaction where there is none --I become increasingly
frustrated. My agitated condition makes it hard for me to turn back to Him
--the only One who can complete me. However, it is never too late when I cry out, "Help me,
Jesus!"
When a child of God
calls out to Him, He never fails to respond. He may not provide instant relief,
as if He were a genie, but He goes to work immediately, setting in motion the
conditions I need. He helps me gain awareness of what I have been doing: seeking
fulfillment in worldly ways. In response to my neediness, He offers me His
Glorious riches. When I have settled down enough to think clearly, He invites
me to come near Him where I can find completeness.
As I center my
attention on Him --resting in the ratified air of His Presence --He blesses me
with His peace. Thought I am just a jar of clay, He fills me with His Treasure:
The Light of the Knowledge of His Glory. This divine Light fills me to the
brim-- making me complete. It also transforms me, bit by bit into the
masterpiece He designed me to be.
