Because I am
a man of unclean lips,
and I dwell in the midst of a people of
unclean lips;
For my eyes
have seen the King,
The LORD of
hosts.”
- Isaiah 6:5
Undone. That was the reaction of Isaiah when he was
met with the Glory of the Most High God.
And that's where I find myself lately---seeing the beauty of Christ and the holiness of the Lord displayed in stark contrast to the darkness of my heart.
There is so much "backstory" that has brought me to this moment-- and I am happy to share as much or as little as the Lord allows. I've always erred on the side of transparency anyway.
What began as search to understand how to "enjoy God" has revealed vast discrepancies between the "theology" I built my life upon and the truths of Scripture. I am deeply convicted by how little my heart longs for the things of God. Conviction leads to repentance. And repentance requires a turning.
What is undone must be rebuilt.
With a humble heart, I turn to the words of Paul for comfort.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
What will the "new" look like?
I'm not entirely sure. But I am sure that I can trust the unchanging, almighty God with the details.
Soli Deo Gloria!
