"If David then calleth him Lord, how is he his son?" -Matt. 22:45
Your natural birth doesn't define you any more than Jesus' natural birth defined Him. Beyond the body God prepared for you is the "you" who God loves. More precious than clothing, He gave you a temple... More precious than human physical food, He gave us Life. What sustains what? Who is sustaining who? The greater blesses the lesser, the parents sustain the child, Heaven sustains the Earth... To value Heaven more highly than Earth doesn't make you a monk or mean you deny the pleasures of Earth, but simply that you set it all in it's proper context. To treasure Earth more highly than Heaven would be the treasure the reflection of your face on the mirror more than the face it's reflecting! God loves your reflection, but it's the invisible "you" within that attracts the fullness of His gaze upon you.
When we value things as He does, accurately measuring their weight in reliance upon what His Scale reads, we'll find it easy to believe that He richly clothes us greater than Solomon or any flower in the field, feeds us, takes care of us financially above and beyond the work of sowing and reaping, above and beyond what's stored up in banks and storehouses... He unveils Himself our supply. Know then when you eat food that it isn't the natural substance alone that's sustaining you, but God's love in that food. That food represents the body of Jesus, testifying that the Word that God had spoken which had led to the materialization and incarnation of that food for you enjoyment and sustenance is FOR you. Jesus is equally included in every bite... that Word of God produced food is the flesh of Jesus Himself. Bon Appetite. -f #wallbreakers
