The Full Grown Christian

The Full Grown Christian

"It is not the contemplation of what God had made him, it is the being what God has made him, and the contemplation of what God himself is, and what He has made his fellows, that gives him his joy." George MacDonald

Why are we discontent with what we are and who we are? Because we are not who we were made to be. God made us for a specific purpose. If we do not know God to the best of our ability, He cannot work the change needed in us. If we cannot be brash and bold at moments to request a tearing down of the old self, we will not be the best at what God made us to do. Our potential will be wasted and neglected. The Holy Spirit must be given free rein to work inside our hearts. The Holy Spirit make-over is required to fulfill the role that God has called us to play.

It is only when we come fully to God, dwell inside His Everlasting Goodness, and He captivates our WHOLE HEART that we will know joy. He directs every flow and ebb of the currents and waves of our love. Our gifts are realized, fine-tuned, embraced, and used for the people-for the greater good-for their intended purpose. His purpose becomes our purpose with no regrets, no shame, and no guilt on our parts. We are the image of Jesus among the populace. It is when we truly embrace all that He has given us that we are all He wants and made us to be! Joy will flood our heart and our eyes. Why? Fulfillment has been reached. We have truly and ultimately embraced our destiny.
