I know Him, I believe in Him, I am in awe of Him and I love Him; but how does He fit into my life/world? How can I walk with Him? What should I do with Jesus?... These are questions I find myself asking these past few days. I know what to do with God, I speak to Him everyday but how can I also fellowship with Christ? Is it possible to conversate with Him like I do with God? I know that my questions may not necessarily make sense but I think I'm just hungry for more, or maybe I'm confused... I know that He is my savior and my redeemer; I believe that His blood has availed for all my trangressions. I know who He is and what He stands for; but how can I be aware of Him daily? ...
The problem was that it was impossible for me to imagine that the same Jesus that lived on earth and died would be so powerful that I can submit my whole life to Him; I kept failing to realize that He RESURRECTED. He is now all powerful and all glorious. He is also sitted at the right hand of God, crowned with glory. He reigns in victory and there is no limitation to what He can do.
"Ye believe in God, believe also in me" (John 14:1).
If I trust God, then I also need to trust in His Son's power and ability to live in me, to live life through me. I need to remember that He is not only my savior but also my Lord. He didn't just die for my sins but He is also risen. This Jesus, that is alive, is the one that I can have face each and everyday for me.
So maybe the question should rather be, what will Jesus do with me? For I did not choose Him but He chose me and appointed me to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last (John 15:16). I can surely say that He will do great and mighty things, He will help me bear good fruits for His kingdom, He will go through trials and temptations with me... Above all, I pray that He will show me how to let Him do all these things through me, how to let Him live through me.
And when I am too weak to look to Him/rest in Him, I will also stand with John in saying, "come, Lord Jesus, come" (Rev. 22:20)...
