Voice of Truth

I love the song the 'Voice of Truth' from Casting Crowns. If you haven't already, I hope that you take the time to listen to the words. Whenever I'm doubtful, I remember those words.

Since I love to write, I thought I would post a little bit of reflection of how I see myself and how God sees me.

Experiencing life through Christ is the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's too bad it took be several years to figure this out! With that being said, I like to think of it this way. I imagine a large staircase. At the top of the staircase is Christ. His arms are outstretched. I'm weak at the awesome sight of His presence. I'm filthy. My heart is full of sin. Although I do not deserve Him, I cannot help be drawn to Him. His glorious beauty draws me to Him like a magnet. I notice that as I take each step, I feel different. My ragged clothes begin to fade to white. I keep walking.

A mirror flashed before my eyes. I see the reflection of a beautiful woman, but I don't recognize her. She seems to radiate with love. Then I hear a whisper, "Come to Me." I look up into Jesus' face. He holds me. It's the day I've been waiting for my entire life. It's here. I cannot contain the joy that I feel. He says, "look to my right." As I turn, I'm speechless. It's the mirror. I realize that I'm the beautiful woman.

I see now that each time I have taken a problem to Him on earth, he has been slowly making me pure. I am transformed as I look into His eyes at this moment....a moment to be treasured in eternity with Him. My first pure true love has never given up on me. I'm finally home.

I'm so glad that that living on earth is not the end.
