Praise the LORD!!!
There is a question upon my heart this morning, that is meant to be asked. Just WHO is GOD to me(and you?) Is HE the GOD WHOM created the universe and all that is within it? So above our petty ways and understandings that HE can't be touched by us? Which truly HE is!
Is HE LORD? MASTER of all that we are. The One that came and lived among us to teach us how to be GOD like? Still in this position HE is above us, far greater then any level we could ever hope to obtain!
Is HE SAVIOR? HE that came in our likeness, paid the price for all of our sins. Covering them with HIS precious blood and eradicating them from existence. Never to be thought of or mentioned again in HIS presence.
Is HE BROTHER? HE that we have been adopted to, placed into HIS family. Giving us all the rights that HE has as a blood relative. Being able to ask for whatever we may need and knowing that it is given without question.
Or is HE FRIEND? The ONE that we can tell all of our problems to. Talk with at all times, knowing that what we say to HIM won't ever go beyond HIM. ONE that we can count on to be there for us, through thick or thin, no matter what the situation may be. One that we live for, as we live for ourselves. ONE that we love, as we love ourselves. The one that can ask us to do anything and we'll do it without a single thought as to why. ONE that you form your relationship and life around.
JESUS is truly all these! But which is HE truly the greatest in to you? To me personally, HE is FRIEND! For no moment of my life is not shaped by our relationship. Not one word comes from my mouth that I know would not be pleasing to HIS ears. All that I am is shaped by this friendship. My very existence revolves around HIM and that which HE'd have me do.
I ask you then this day, "WHO is JESUS to you?"
