ONE DAY
EVERYTHING
will be like it was created to be~
PERFECT PARADISE
in
THE PERFECT GARDEN
without a crafty little snake
tempting an innocent woman
to eat an apple,
who then
tempts
an innocent man
to eat an apple.
IT IS FINISHED!
ONE DAY
there will be no
TEMPTER
to TEMPT you
to wander off the path
that GOD has created for you.
But since we LIVE in the here & now
how do we
LIVE IN THE MOMENT,
SECOND BY SECOND?
We EXCHANGE~
Anxiety for PEACE.
Bitterness for FORGIVENESS.
Unfavor for FAVOR.
Fear for LAUGHTER,
a greater LAUGHTER
that starts in your heart,
making your belly shake so hard
that you just have to dance.
For when you and I
LIVE our SECONDS
IN JESUS
we are covered with a
PERFECT LOVE
PERFECT PEACE
PERFECT HOPE
PERFECT JOY
no matter how
IMPERFECT the SECOND appears to be.
Oh the sweet spot of
LIVING IN JESUS,
it is like the world stops and there is no else around
but you and JESUS.
TO TRUST so deeply that the supernatural happens~
"May the GOD of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in HIM,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT" (Romans 15:13).
Oh how JESUS makes every SECOND the best SECOND
and all you have to do is~
"Keep your eyes on JESUS,
who both began and finished this race we’re in.
Study how HE did it.
Because HE never lost sight of where HE was headed—
that exhilarating finish in and with GOD—
HE could put up with anything along the way:
Cross, shame, whatever.
And now HE'S there, in the place of honor, right alongside GOD.
When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item,
that long litany of hostility HE plowed through.
That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!" (Hebrews 12:2-3).
And to think that
ONE DAY,
just because JESUS sacrificed HIS life for you and I,
LIFE WILL BE PERFECT EVERY SECOND~
"HE will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former order of things has passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
Therefore,
If you KNOW that LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE PERFECT,
then LIVE
each SECOND in the HERE & NOW
as if you are already there,
by INVITING JESUS into your every SECOND.
Because where
JESUS IS
there is
PERFECT~
"Peace I leave with you; MY peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid"
(John 14:27).
JESUS brings ETERNITY
into the HERE and NOW,
when you
make your
SECONDS
BELIEVING SECONDS
and that is
"WHY I BELIEVE"
