Adoration

When do I love the Lord? When I believe that He loves me. When do I worship my God? When I believe that He has paid attention to me. When do I serve Christ? When I believe that He has served me. And when do I testify that He has saved and delivered me? When He has done so, and I have believed.

I am not greater than this. It is Christ that has authored my faith; I live the faith that He has finished. The faith is Christ’s; it is with His faith that I respond to God.

I would like to adore Christ. I would like my love and worship to be so deep that it is adoration. In adoration, you give yourself to that which is adored. I would like that giving: myself to Christ, to be complete, to be without spot, or wrinkle. Christ, the Spirit, and the Father are working toward that end.

I wait on God as I believe. I am at peace in the waiting as I grow in faith. I have joy in the waiting as I grow in faith even more. I learn faithfulness in the waiting as Christ’s faith is made mine yet more and more.

The love of God is exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all that I could ask for or think. It is bringing me into an adoration that I cannot produce myself, but that Christ has created for me.

Jesus opened this door. The only life worth living is through this door. By the eternal grace of God, not only will I be learning Him forever, but my adoration of my God will grow without end.

Glory be to God. Thank You Jesus.
