Intimior, Intimo Meo
More intimate to me than my most intimate – St. Augustine
This was the topic of teaching yesterday morning at church.
This has been my thoughts for the last 24 hours.
Do I let God get closer to me, than I am to myself? Or do I still hold out on this one little piece of myself that I want to control, and not want to surrender to God?
For me, and probably for most of you, that answer to the last question will be yes.
Is this holding out not maybe the one thing that is causing us not to live our lives fully in Christ?
Reading John 14:10-12 Jesus states that what He is doing is the Father, and not Him, and through the Father, we will be able to do the same, and more.
John 14:10-12 (NKJV)
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
How awesome is it to realise that Jesus was perfectly human, just the same as you and me. To know, by faith, that we are able to perform miracles, through the Father, just like Jesus did?

Very consuming thought this.
I think we think we hand over everything to God, but we don't. We have been conditioned to think that certain things is still up to us. God told the Rich young ruler to sell everything give it to the poor and follow him. That didn't sit to well with him did it? God does not work as the world works!
