Morning Revelations
Hey Family,
I was recalling a message that a sister of mine delivered in church a few weeks ago. She finds Jesus everywhere. In places where you find entertainment, she can find Jesus. But it must have rubbed off on me.
So in her message, she was referencing a character from the movie Coming To America. Of course, I keep replaying the movie in my mind and about a week ago, I found something that really struck me in my spirit.
Prince Hakim found his love. And in the struggles he was having between the Kingdom he was going to inherit was creating friction within the relationship with the newfound love of his life. She could not handle the "lifestyle" that was presented. And yes, I know in the end of the movie he ends up able to keep the girl and the kingdom. But there was one thing I want to point out. He found a love that he wanted so deeply. He chased after her through the city and onto the train. He confessed his love for her, but yet, she didn't quite believe him. But in that one moment, he knew there was a decision that needed to be made. And he made it so simply. He was willing to give up his kingdom. Something he was set to inherit. For a love that completely changed his life.
So many of us even still, after salvation, are in line to inherit things that cause friction between us the new love we found that changed OUR lives. We chase and chase and chase after God. Sometimes dragging our mess that we still have not let go of. NOT willing to let go of those things. Sometimes not even realizing that the mess is even there. Yelling to God how much we need Him and we love Him, but not even stopping to hear what God is trying to tell us that He wants us to let go of so we may fully be IN HIM. Day after day, we do this. And we wonder "Why haven't I grown a little more? Why do I feel like I'm spiritually stuck right now?"
He is asking us, If Prince Hakim can renounce the throne to the kingdom of Zamunda, for a love he just found that changed His life, why can't we renounce things for the love of God? The one that TRULY changed our lives. The One that cares for us daily. The one that provides for all of our needs. Why is it so hard for us?
Think about that one family.
I Love You All! Merry Christmas!! Be Blessed!!!
