We think that we are perfect,we think we are right, we think we have done everything, we think we are complete and full...but in the moment of silence, when the spirit speak to us, we may not have answers to many questions, nor we will have justifications for our actions. We are revealed naked in our spirit...we realize how miserable we are.
"You say you are rich. You think you have become wealthy and don’t need anything."But you don’t know that you are really miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."- Revelation 3:17-18
As our nakedness is revealed, we may feel frustrated, helpless and angry. But God says...
I advise you to buy gold from me—gold made pure in fire. Then you will be rich. I tell you this: Buy clothes that are white. Then you will be able to cover your shameful nakedness. I also tell you to buy medicine to put on your eyes.
-Revelation 3:18
Our God loves us even then..He was loving us even before we realized this. How great is His love and mercy. "God gives to them who doesn't deserves it" That is His mercy.The realization of which helps us to humble ourselves before God and to everything and anyone. Humbleness is the spark of the Gods spirit in us...When we are humble the eyes of our spirit opens.
"Then you will be able to see.
“I correct and punish the people I love. So show that nothing is more important to you than living right. Change your hearts and lives. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you. And you will eat with me." - Revelation 3:19-20
Let us realize this and open our doors to the Lord.
Loving God thank you for making us realize the nakedness of our spirit. Thank you for helping us to gain the virtue of humbling. Because as the 'I" in me reduces, it is YOU oh Lord that is increasing in me. Let me live through You and share You to everyone that You give me.
Amen.
