Releasing the Real You

God knows you...REALLY knows you.  Better and more intimately than you know yourself.  

He speaks a coursing rhythm to your heart, he breathes your organs to life, he renews your cells, your complete make up, daily.  

He knows your secret dreams...your deepest fears...your preferences and inspirations.  He knows  what bores you to tears...makes you tick...makes you cry...takes your breath away...the things that make you, you. Beautiful, mysterious, complicated, wonderful you!  

You are different than anyone else and he knows that...in fact, he likes it.  He created you to be different for his GLORY...because he's so unbelievably, undeniably creative. 

Don't get caught up in what other people think...blending with the crowd.  Painting your heart, your passion, gray so no one can see it. Jesus never blended with the crowd...he proudly wore his heart - his father's heart - on his sleeve and bore it to the world...in blood red.  

There is freedom in that...in being who you were created to be with only one audience that matters...and the audience already thinks you're amazing so don't hold back. 

He wants you to be inspired...to be enveloped in love...to feel creative and smart. To feel overwhelming joy in living life....it's all right before you...the banqueting table is set and ready for you to dig in...savour the creative meat...drink of the inspiring overflow that will never run dry.  

And to add a new dimension to all this creative outpouring, Jesus wants to meld his heart with yours...you are already creatively and wonderfully made in his image and now he wants all of you to be melded with all of Him.  

Will this take away from you?  

No!  

It will make who you are richer, deeper...

you in technicolour...

you in 3D...

you in High Definition.  

Who you were created to be!
