This is how one
should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required
of stewards that they be found faithful. WE
Corinthians (4: 1-2 ESV)
To walk with God is to reflect on our own unworthiness
and His absolute perfection. We may not
understand Christ’s willingness to sacrifice His perfection for our lives. However
considering the passage in I Corinthians, we must seek to understand His love and
the mystery that it is.
Jesus is the lover of our souls!
We can feel His
love walking us through this life but if we forget to reflect… if we forget to
kneel before the cross and die daily to ourselves… to submit our desires and
discipline to Him, then we have lost sight of the mystery. We may not understand this kind of selfless love
but we can marvel at this amazing gift!
We must have humility and recognize that without opening our hands and receiving the package, we can't enjoy what is within. It’s a package wrapped by a fine jeweler and craftsman who understands the value of what's inside and wants to treasure it. On first inspection, we find the packing tape wrapped so tightly that the scissors can barely get to the brown paper underneath. Once through the tape, we can undo the brown paper to find exquisite wrapping paper held together with ribbon. Next, we get to a heavy impenetrable box filled with packing peanuts placed carefully to surround the smaller box nestled within. Prying open this smaller vessel, excelsior has been laid strand by strand to cradle a fine linen ball. Finally, within the linen we find….our soul!
