The Time Is Now

I read a verse today. It hit a spot in my heart.

"The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now that when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of the darkness and put on the armor of light" Romans 13:11-12.

I need to wake up. I need to realize that I am not going to be here forever. I need to start sharing since it is what God has asked of me. I love knowing my creator, knowing that he cares more about my problems that I do, knowing his plans are infinitely better than my own. That even though there are much bigger issues out there (Haiti, AIDS, world starvation) than my own problems, he cares about me and loves me so much that he sits down with me, talks to me about it, lets me vent, picks me up, carries me. Nothing is too big or to small. He asks us to throw our problems and worries and fears and hopes and dreams on him. And he LOVES to do it! He loves when we call on him, he loves to take on our problems, he loves to co-labor with us. He loves it when we tell him the secrets in our souls, he loves it when we truly share our hearts to Him, not just tell Him what we think He wants to hear. He wants us to wake up and to fully understand what we have in Him, who we truly are.

"Now if we are children, then we are heirs- heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory" Romans 8:17.

He is waiting for us to walk in our true identity. He is waiting to share His glory. He is waiting for us to realize that no matter what we have done, he has erased it. When we accept that, we become heirs. We become princes and princesses. Heaven is waiting for us. And its REAL. It is something that we will experience one day. It is not just a distant hope, but a place that awaits us. We all need to walk in the knowledge that we were created for something more than 100 years on this earth. Our identity is in Heaven. No matter who you are, or what you have done. There is no exception. There is no ifs, ands, or buts. We are all called to be royalty.

We need to get to know Jesus before we can share Him. How can we share something we don't know about? All those questions deep down that we have about Him, he is waiting to answer. All we need to do ask. So ask away. Ask all you want. Don't hold back. He already knows those questions, since he put them there, which means He has the answers. Now is the time to be asking questions. Now is the time to seek his face. There could never be a more perfect time! He is waiting.
