We are value conscious beings; our potential is only determined by our ability to sense the value we contain! Our Maker's enablement to always sense this value in us is His reference of us being in Himself! We likewise encounter Him in our own selves, His own nearest and dearest reference!
To see in ourselves exactly what God Himself sees in us... seems upsetting to the rational mind! Are not the parents thoughts towards it's child unknowable to the child's mind? Are not God's thoughts higher than our own? Well as the rain closes the gap that separates Earth from Heaven, the words flowing from God's lips succeed in closing all the distance and completely saturating our wisdom seeded hearts. His breath endorses that wisdom as His own, and ours in Him.
Our capacity to contain just how valued we truly are is like drinking new wine: the degree of enjoyment is regulated only by how much of His gift you are willing to receive. In this case, above beyond and apart from our own willingness to receive or desire to even ask, He'd already given it all! So our degree of realizing His enjoyment is totally unregulated. You have permission to be as smashed about who He is in you as you know He was broken up about what His Son Jesus did on all our behalf on the cross. Like sowing and reaping: a big investment produces bigger yields than a smaller investment on that same stock!
When you put something precious to you on the market, the price you're willing to accept for it is determined by how highly you value it, and if someone offers you more for something than you ever thought it was worth, what was once so known to you about it is again shrouded from view, a temporary blindness takes hold, the duration of which is determined only by how long it takes to realize how desperately you now need and have always needed His perfect sight in you all along. His communication to us of the undisputed inadequacy of the works of own hands at the task of satisfying the desires of our own hearts, or that of our lovers, exposes and redeems our hearts desire to have all our bases completely covered, effortlessly, without any strain towards making it so, all by revelation of what His design of us just happens to have always been.
Time for the Bar Mitzvah, concluding in your being tossed the keys to the kingdom, Abba's Maserati included. We are by His hand to the satisfaction of His own heart! What can anyman's hand add to this? Save perhaps the endorsement of his signature, by way of their applause of His perfect work, in us.. Our value is a simple communication He fully articulated in just One Word: Jesus. -f
