It's all about

Is it all about me?

Is it all about we?

Is it all about what I see?

Is it all about if I'm free?

I think not.  I believe it's all about - the key.

A key is something that allows access, it helps you open something locked or hidden away.  

My question today is, "What is the key?"  What will  open my heart and mind to the purpose that God has for the rest of my life.  What will open my heart and mind to the changes I must make in my thinking, my vision, and my freedom?

I heard a podcast this morning discussing basically the way we see ourselves and others - the boxes we put ourselves and others into - to display.  Am I the town, the race, the culture, the station in life that I was born to?  Maybe, partly, but there is more.

This is the key.  We are more than that.  We are God's creation, His idea, His design, and His Children.  And as such I am not a "we" "I'm not just what you see" "I'm not completely free." But I am "me."  

God has each one of us on His mind.  And He has provided a key - a way to open our hearts and minds to His purpose, to His family, to His forgiveness.  There are places in our lives that require the same key to open different doors.

I'm not a perfect me, but, knowing this is "key."

I'm a child of The King and The King cares for me.  

That key is found in different places, but today my wonderful husband opened the Bible to Romans 8:1-15 and read it all to me - I've picked out a few verses that may speak to you as well.

"So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death."

"And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin.  The Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you."

"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God."

"So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as his own children.   Now we call him, “Abba, Father." For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children."

And as my husband told me this morning, 

God will NOT un-adopt us.  I love that.

I pray that you will hear God's voice today.
