Done Deal

1/1/2006

(from NB) Some early morning thoughts I had...

Jesus has fulfilled EVERY expectation the Father has for my day today.  It IS FINISHED!  The test has been turned in, and there is an “A” at the top.  The Father looks down and says... “another outstanding day!  Good job!”... because Jesus is our reckoning point with the Father.  We no longer live.  We no longer exist.  When we lay our life in His hands, by oath, our life is now hidden with Christ in God—by Oath.

Fear is gone.

Introspection is gone.

Expectations are gone.

Self hate, depression, striving... ALL are gone.  It is finished... As far as the Father is concerned... Your day was outstanding!  All “expectations” have been fulfilled.  THAT should take ALL the pressure off.

So... what then is left?

Opportunity!  We now have the opportunity to experience the Life of Jesus... to step into the skin He has created for us to walk in today.  To “hear” what He would have said... with free reign of our tongue... To “see” what He would have seen as He looked through OUR eyeballs at the people & situations around Him.

Again, the “test” has been turned in already.  We already have an “A” for January 1st 2006... but He’s whispering in our ear... “Would you like to know HOW I answered problem #3?  Come & see...”

He’s fulfilled every “requirement”... but He wants to let us in on the Fun of experiencing his RESULTS... not just the Security of getting His grade.

So Listen... lean in... perk up... pay attention... and believe.
