Learning How to Reflect Him.... How to Become .... How to Behold

My deepest hunger is that through anything I would write or share that the reader would fall more and more in love with the Father and the reader would understand how much the Father intrinsically loves and pours out His affection upon all..... I share my encounters and the times I have with Him to wet appetites.... That hearts and minds and eyes and ears would be made open to the pursuit of the Father....

I have learned to behold Him and place myself before Him and allowed Him access to that which I am...

How do you reflect Him? How do you become all that you were intrinsically created to become? For me so much of it has had to do with letting go of preconceived notions of that which He wants from me....... He wants me to delight in Him... He wants me love Him ... He wants me to make His goodness known.....

Practically how have I come to a place of being saturated by Him.....

I focus on Him and His goodness
I lay down lesser things and ask for His thoughts and His ways to become mine....
I watch Him and I look at Him (Jesus said He only did that which the Father did... He saw Him and knew Him and we can know Him and see Him like that as well)
I pay attention to His ways and His heart and I learn to choose them in all things during the day..........
I believe that He wants me to know Him and bear His image and be like Him and in that desire of His He impresses upon me the grace to become that which He has made me to be......

There are things that seem overly simplified and yet it as a child that I come to Him...

that I believe in Him....

but I also believe in the me that He has created me to be....

I believe in the work that Jesus did so that I could become all that I was always intentioned to be....

so I believe and I step into a world that I belong to.... You see if we are called to be IN this world but not OF it... Then what world are we OF? That is the world... the Kingdom of Heaven.. The Kingdom of my Father that I am of... and so what does that mean to be a citizen of that place... what does it mean to be an ambassador of that place?

Those questions are ones I have answered for myself as I have beheld Him and studied Him and learned of His ways and His thoughts...... Who are you? What world are you OF? Being OF my Father's world but living in this world makes all the difference with the way I live my life... it brought me from spiritual orphan to daughter.... it brought me from simply existing to thriving.... it brought to the place where I am truly in the process of becoming me... and I am so very grateful.....

Become you....

Become the you that you are meant to be...

Be loved by the Father and love Him in return...

and the rest will flow....

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
