Fully

I used to believe that all of life would one day make sense. As it is, I am becoming more comfortable with knowing that while life may make sense eventually, I will likely never fully understand it.  More likely, I will miss a great dea of it trying to figure it out.  In the Gospel according to John, I have learned that Jesus intends me to have life and have it fully.  Trying to understand the depth of this is like trying to capture a sun ray. You never quite know which you have:  the ray or the effect of the ray. Either way, I have found that if Jesus intends me to have life, then I must begin to see what that life looks like.

 For the next several posts - or until I feel it is ok to move on - I am going to see if I can unearth the intention.  While I will continue to search it out daily, that doesn't mean I will have anything to offer. Likewise, I have no intention of keeping this "christian" or palatable.  At times my thoughts might be extremely lucid and other times they will confusing.  I invite you to come along with me as I go.  I welcome your own perspective as well as your insight.  I am learning more and more that my identity is in Jesus.  As I press toward that, it will be challenging for me to let go of the past in an attempt to embrace the present.  Some things will remain steadfast; however, there are some things that simply do not fit any longer.  I must be willing to hear from the LORD as He continues to work through my life from moment to moment.   And I will waiting to hear from any who will partner with me in this journey to hold me accountable to what is unchanging, while that which changes fades into oblivion.
