Show me your face, I want to see you

I want to see Your glory

I want to live in the secret place

Show me your face

I’m not satisfied, With where I’ve been

Though I’ve cried out before, still I want more

I wanna see your power this very hour

So do it in me

But as we were singing the song, this came to me:

Show me your face?

Here I am.

Where are you?

I know that I am God

But do you?

I have the glory.

But what are you willing to do to get it?

You’re not satisfied, you say you’ve cried out.

You want to see my power.

It’s here and it’s in you.

It’s up to you to connect with me. 

It’s up to you.

You are my child. The seed is planted.

Water it.

My face is here. Wipe the mist from the mirror

You will see I was here all along.

I was here,  I am here, I will always be here.

Show me your face.

It’s one thing to be still and know that He is God but it is another to disregard James 2:17 which says that faith without acton is dead. The song doesn’t disregard that, no, but I have noticed that many of the people that I know do struggle with this. So I want to share with you a few things that I have learned over various teachings. Be sufficient in Christ sufficiency. You and you alone here on earth are responsible for your life and once you take accountability, you can grow.

Christ gave you life but what are you willing to give Him? In order to be satisfied, in order to have a sound mind, we need to water the seeds in us through studying and acting on the word of God. We need to exercise balance, discipline, and self control (2 Timothy 1:7) and the fruits of the Spirit . It’s not hard to do the right thing once but what comes after that… God is here, He always has been and always will be. You do your part (Humble yourself before God, repent, give thanks, spend time with God, speak life, live the life that God has set out for you to live… I could go on and on) and God is more than willing and able to do His.

Many times, we expect people to listen to us tell them about the love that Jesus has for them and become a Christian…after we have judged them.

It is not our place to judge. We all fall short and yet Jesus loves us all anyway. So why are you not showing the grace God has given to you to others?

Jesus is love and we are supposed to be Christ-like…so love others just as Jesus has loved you and all of your faults.

I just found this question to be quite interesting so I wanted to make note of it here as it’s sreally something fascinating to think about when you take the time to think about it.

Let me be a light.

Amen.

***

This is one of my daily prayers. Sometimes, I’ll say this over and over again and get even more excited each time, adding my praise for him along the way. Other times, I’ll go into detail in everything that I list and thank God for what He’s given me so far and then ask Him for just a bit more patience or self control or fill in the blank in certain areas of my life. It’s simple, to the point, and from my heart…and God knows my heart. He knows that I formed this prayer at one of the most genuine moments in my relationship with Christ…and because of that, every time I pray this, I feel the tug of the Lord in my heart and I really am on fire for life.

It’s unexplainable in a way. But at the same time, it’s basically saying that instead of reciting a hymn repeatedly and forgetting to be genuine in what I am saying after so long, I’ve written from the heart this prayer that is always a light within itself all of my days because I know that I am not only going to be blessed but I will be able to be a blessing to others.

Ask yourself, “Am I excited when I lay at His feet and ask Him for such things?” Then, ask yourself, “Am I asking Him for the right reasons?”

There’s nothing more exciting and more freeing than being a light in this world.
