The Web He Weaves

Only Jesus can unravel you of your past and begin to weave hope into your future. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. He is Hope. He is Joy. He is Love. In Him we find who we are and all we are called to be. We need only follow Him. His call is one of action - "Go" "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." 

The beautiful promise that comes with a Christ filled life is that He will not leave us where we are. He who has called you will work in you. You need only be still. Listen for His guidance, and stop trying to do all the work yourself. The race to obtain perfection is one that Jesus conquered for us. We are trapped in a web of self reliance when we try to run the race of perfection alone. Let Christ guide you through. He will untangle your past and weave hope into your future. 

In Christ alone, our hope is found. 

The Longing

We all have it. A deep desire to know and be known. Ultimately, known and accepted. We run from it, we run to it (or what we think it is), we run with a compelling desire to be fulfilled.

...And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, ²fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith...

The writer of Hebrews makes mention of this race we all tend to run without having noticed at times. What we must take capture of is our motive and realize what we are running for. Jesus went before us in this race, setting the stage and claiming the victory. For our benefit and His glory. We must learn how we will be fulfilled. In Christ alone, remember your only hope is found. He is everything and in Him we find all we need. 

We long to be accepted and known. Sister, I tell you the truth when I say you are loved and known wholly by the One who is Holy above all! He created you and formed your inner most parts. He knows every nook and cranny of your being... And you know what? He still loves you. He loves you enough not to leave you where you are and to call you out of the dark places you will run without seeing the complete satisfaction found in Him. So long for Him. Long for Jesus. The author and perfecter of our faith. It is in Him that all hope is found.
