------- Continued from Pt. 1 -------
Who am I to say what I am worth? How do I know what true value is? And what is it that true value is can be found in? When I look around me into the sea of faces, do I feel for them? Or am I indifferent? Looking into the eyes of a stranger, do I see the hurt, pain and anger? Do I see the joy, happiness, and love that eyes can never hide?
What is one thing that Jesus Christ is known for? In almost every instance noted in scriptures, he is noted to have "known their hearts" or "understood the heart". This is what he did on earth. As a man, he knows what we go through and feels, not for us, but WITH us. This is God who inconceivably humbled himself to take on the form of puny man. One reason being, to show how he cares intimately for each and every one of us.
I am a man, not worthy to bear His name. And yet, He has seen fit, to use me for His purposes. What possible good can come from any given man? We have "good" deeds and intentions many times. Yet even the dictionary defines "good" as something that meets up with a standard of character. What is that standard? How can that standard possibly be derived from humanity when most every single being has a separate definition of what is permissible and what is not? I pose to you there must be something beyond complete human understanding, that is unchanging, unwavering and unrelenting. Once again we come back to my God who is all three of these, and more. Do you know Him?
You may have answered yes. You may have answered no. If your response was the latter (no) please at least read the book of genesis and then John in the Bible. Give it a chance and see what he's all about. But if you've answered the former (yes), I ask you once again... "Do you KNOW Him? Who is He to you?" You say "my savior". I ask, "Do you KNOW Him?" You answer "Sure, he's my God!" Yet again, I ask, "Do you KNOW Him? You respond "He's my Lord!" I say, "Hmmm, do you KNOW Him?" You're thinking that this is beginning to get old. Get to the point. But you graciously answer "He's my everything". I say... "Oh, really? Is He?"
