Unfailing love and Faithfulness- the Likeness.
(if you dont read anything else, at least read the very bottom where it says "what is the likeness of Jesus after all?")
Not only do I want the extravagant purity and "clean" of Mary (mother of Jesus), as far as her heart, but I also want the heart of Mary- sitting at His feet where all motives of the heart are exposed. Where manipulation can't happen. Because you're simply there. Hearing Him.
I want to be so baptised. I was praying all day, God baptise me. I want His faithfulness. I want His unfailing love. As you notice in scripture, wherever scripture talks about His "unfailing love", it talks about His "faithfulness". and vice versa! Really check it out. (PSALMS 89!!!---->at the end of the last blog posted, you can read it there.) He bears both and NEVER one or the other! He bears both. God let me be infused with-so-I-can-give-away UNFAILING LOVE AANNDDD FAITHFULNESS! AND DONT YOU DARE LET ME HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER!!! Take verse 6 as an example (Proverbs 20:5-8) 5 The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters,
but a man of understanding draws them out. 6 Many a man claims to have unfailing love,
but a faithful man who can find?
7 The righteous man leads a blameless life;
blessed are his children after him.
So many times we have the unfailing love-- that part's from God-- but the faithfulness is a choice sometimes. Okay, always. The heart of the Father is to LOVE US. HE CANT HELP IT. YES, HE CHOOSES TO BUT HE WILL NEVER STOP LOVING! AND HE CHOOSES TO BE FAITHFUL!
But for us... God can infuse us with such unfailing love that it captivates us so completely. But unless we have the guts to choose faithfulness...nothing will ever be accomplished with that unfailing love.
It has NOTHING to do with "overcoming the flesh" (well, at least the way I see it, and the way I think anyone who reads this would understand.) I think it has less to do with overcoming the flesh and more with... it's just LIFE. Fear of change, maybe, when it'll never change what God has placed inside of you-- who you TRULY are. You won't be watered down. you wont be turned into some overspiritualized border line new age hippy. you wont 'lose' freedom. You'll just be His and He will be pouring out of you. and THAT will make you WRECKED- but COMPLETELY YOUUUUUU!!!
It'll all be enhanced when you're staring at Him holding your heart there with His unfailing love. If He's rescued you, ransomed you... thats it. You're YOU. You ARE how He sees you and you're closer and closer to that EVERY SINGLE DAY. nothing's gonna change that. Except the world, maybe.
His faithfulness and unfailing love are SO GREAT. I can't even believe it. I want to be found FAITHFUL in the unfailing love He's given me. I don't want to lie, I want TRUTH in the inward parts! He desires it from me, and I WILL give it to Him.
What is the likeness of Jesus, after all? CLEAN. white as snow. Unfailing love and faithfulness.
He claims to have the unfailing love. And He proves it with His faithfulness. (Prov. 20:6 turned around!) CLEAN. CLEAN. CLEAN. what's clean, you ask? He'll tell you.
Let it start with your eyes.
