Day 6: Wake Up

Writer's picture: JoniJoni


I FORGOT WHOSE I was.

At times I feel INVISIBLE.

Sometimes a GOOD INVISIBLE,

when I am in my own little world

with my GOD and having a one on one.

INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD, BUT VISIBLE TO GOD

And at other times I feel INVISIBLE,

when I can be in a crowded room

and feel as if I am adding no value

because I feel as if I have no purpose.

No ROLE to define me.

No high powered job title.

Just little 'ole me, who shows up where I am to be.

I don't like that kind of INVISIBLE,

because I make it about me

and then I start seeking to find who I am in this world.

When actually, at times like that,

I FORGET WHOSE I AM.

INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD, BUT VISIBLE TO GOD

But then I can hear GOD'S soft whisper,

"LOOK UP".

I am GOD'S little girl.

The same words HE whispers to you,

"LOOK UP".

You are GOD'S little girl or GOD'S little boy.

And then INVISIBLE

becomes the sweet spot of

WHOSE you are.

LOST in the world, but FOUND by the CREATOR of the world.

FATHER of ALL~

"How blessed is GOD! And what a blessing HE is

HE'S the FATHER of our MASTER, JESUS CHRIST,

and takes us to the high places of blessing in HIM.

Long before HE laid down earth’s foundations,

HE had us in mind,

had settled on us as the focus of HIS love,

to be made whole and holy by HIS love..."*

INVISIBLE TO THE WORLD, BUT VISIBLE TO GOD

"Long, long ago HE decided to adopt us into HIS family

through JESUS CHRIST.

(What pleasure HE took in planning this!)

HE wanted us to enter into the celebration of HIS lavish gift-giving

by the hand of HIS beloved SON"

*(Ephesians 1: 3-6 MSG).

After reading this,

the eyes of my heart were enlarged,

reminding me that

I FORGET WHOSE I WAS!

And this happened in the place where

Paul wrote these verses, in Rome.

Now he was in

a Roman prison when he penned these words

to the Ephesians.

And there I sat, in Rome,

imprisoned by my own thoughts

about who I thought I was~

INVISIBLE.

Paul was so full of the JOY OF THE LORD

in his imprisonment,

that he was actually free as a bird.

It didn’t matter that he was behind locked doors,

for his heart wasn’t locked to the love of JESUS CHRIST.

What a wake up call to this woman, and maybe to you,

who are not in prison, but live as we are,

when we forget WHOSE we are!

In that moment, GOD woke up my soul.

The prison doors are OPENED.

So why not

LIVE IN THE NOW

as HIS!

And all we have to do is~

"Be up and awake to what GOD s doing! GOD is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work HE began when we first believed. We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute.

Dress yourselves in CHRIST, and be up and about!"

(Romans 13:14).

Because

NOW is

"DAY ONE of the rest of my life"
