Last night, I learned That "truth" is TRUTH. Your truth is truth regardless of how or what I think/feel. The truth is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!... even when I don't feel like I can...
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! ...even when I don't feel that great..
3. You love me no matter what!! even when there are times I feel I don't deserve Your love...
4. I am Your son and Your blood!! Just like how Rocky the boxer told his son.
Ahhh...these are Your truth!!
Despite how/what I feel about myself, Your truth remains the same and unchanged as that is how You see me.
You not only speak Your truth but You live the truth as YOU ARE THE TRUTH!!
John 1:14 (from Kenneth S. Wuest: The NT and expanded translation)
And the Word, entering a new mode of existence, became flesh, and lived in a tent (His physical body) among us.
Previously Your word (truth) was in existence through the mode of law but now it has taken a new mode of existence, it became flesh as it dwells in a physical body - Christ's body. Now the truth is not just in the form of law, tablets but now in flesh.
Jesus say, " I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life."
Jesus not only taught the truth but He lived it as HE IS THE TRUTH. He is not only the messenger but He is the message. The word/truth and Him becomes One and He becomes the standard
Your truth of me is :-
1. You believe in me that I can be like You!
I can be like You because I am meant to be like You! This is my original design.
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness,...."
Gen 1:27
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
It's for this reason, I know I am called to be transformed to be more and more like You so that can carry the full measure of Your grace, truth and glory!!
2. You believe that I can be great and mighty like You! Rule and reign with You on this earth.
In Your eyes, I am a mighty valor. Just like how You look at Gideon even when he did not felt that way. Plus he really was not in a situation that make him look like some sort of mighty valor. Humanly there is nothing mighty about being a cave! You look at Abraham and said You would make him a great nation. At that point of time, he was a man with no citizenship of any nation!!
But that's the thing, You never consider my situation or people around me or even how I feel to affect how You see me. You just know that I can be like You despite of my surroundings, background and people around me because You have made me in You image and likeness.
I have all the ingredients within me to rise to be great and mighty like You.
Gen 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Gen 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdues it. rule over the fish of the sea and birds of the air and over every living creature that moves o the ground."
3. You love me!!
1 John 4:9
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:19
"We love Him because He first loved us."
Before I even know You, You have loved me. It's for that reason that You gave Your son to redeem me. Despite of my weaknesses, You still love me. As in 1 Corinthian 13 say, love persevere, love never lose heart nor courage. Love always believe and hope as love never fails.
4. I am Your son!!
Galatians 3:26
"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
Galatians 4:6
"And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
I know my spirit is recreated as the Spirit of Your son in in me. When You look at me, You see me as Your son as the spirit of Christ in in me.
These truths are not just in the form of spoken and written form but now it dwells in me. I am living these truth that You have spoken and written. I become the very person to bring fulfillment of these truths. I know You who started this good work in me, You will also bring it to completion. Let me see like how You see and be absolute yielded to the Holy Spirit so that Your truths would be outwork and manifested in my life
