“”Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us.”” Matt.1:23 (NASV)
God is here in this room with me as I write these words. It is given to us to live by this faith: acceptable and pleasing.
Because He is with me I am learning a new language to speak and write: when God says “love” or “grace” or “truth” He means something we have not known from our schooling, something we do not use in our conversation until we learn of Him.
God is with us and we have begun to live forever. God is with us and we speak eternal words of truth. God is with us and hope has taken hold, faith has taken root, and love is bearing its fruit. Christ has come to dwell within us by His Spirit and for His Father.
When I speak with you I am not only speaking to you, but I am speaking to the Spirit who has taken up residence within you. I need to be speaking a language that He has taught me for your hearing. It is a language of goodness and kindness and faithfulness. All the words bear that testimony.
The One who has entered your life, brought you into His life, and will not let you go is listening as I speak of you to others. And so as He is with me, my words may be with Him: keeping, lifting, making glad, words for the building of faith.
We have a Wonderful Counselor beside us, a Mighty God before us, an Eternal Father behind us, and a Prince of Peace between us. In His presence we are established and upheld and made righteous forevermore. All my words are spoken and written in the presence of the Lord. He hears and He sees. They may be written because I am talking with Him, they may be spoken because He is talking with me. Oh, may they never be from other source.
When I see a mote He is here, when I have a beam to be removed He is here. I choose to let Him help me, I choose to let Him help you: God with my heart and God with my words.
I must marvel at the presence of Christ, it is a wonder to me. And in that wonder I see you: thoughts of wonder, words of wonder, and a path that is wondrous before me. There is Christ: every step of that path, its beginning and its end.
“You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fulness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” Psalm 16:11 (NASV)
Jesus, Your beauty amazes me.
