Be

What (and or who) was I supposed to Be?

Do? Look at? Work at? Think? Love?

So many questions constantly stir my being and it worries me that if I sit and live the way many do, I will just be another Human-being rather than a Human-doing?

But then I realise how wrong I am...

What does it mean to Be?

I think since we are His image, and he is the I AM, I cannot help but wonder whether everything that He is, is what I should be?

But then an image can be made to reflect in various ways, right?? different emphasis on certain areas perhaps...

I don't fully know the answer to my question, and I'm not afraid to admit that while I'm on this earth I never fully will [Revelations 21:1-7] , but I long to be what I was made to be, in His image.

It is interesting that in Genesis 2:16, the first recorded conversation between God and Adam...
He talks about loneliness (before the fall, before sin) it's amazing that in v.18 "it is not good for man to be (there's my word again) alone".

Yet, although this problem was solved with Eve, we live today with the most people around us ever and despite all this...

The paradox is....
There are more people around us than ever before in history...but people live in utter loneliness in the midst of a crowd,

• We see more and more and people each day, but know fewer and fewer personally
• We often move faster but not closer
• We often have more contact but less touch
• We often have more and more relationships but less and less depth

Stop, isn't the loneliest person who ever walked this Earth, my Lord Jesus Christ - John 16!

"even the closest of His friends on Earth abandoned him! v.32"

Remember what I said about simplicity...?

Take this:

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD (keep chipping away to the bare bones...)

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM (and again)

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL

simply.....

Be

For me, each step gets a little harder and at the same time so deep and so fulfilling.

I may or may not have found my Eve, I may not even know yet what I'm supposed to be but I'm plodding on this journey holding my head high with the knowledge that one day I will find her, it, everything I am supposed to Be.
