Beholding The Everything

[I wrote this blog a few days ago and wasn't sure if I should post it. But I've just realized that this blog is such a paradigm to the blog written on January 30th, 2009.. haha from nothing to everything.]

The LORD has been speaking to me so much about Him being my everything. One sweet thing about having Christ is that when we come to Him, we come to Him having nothing, and yet in Him, we possess all things. He's our Portion. I've heard that prayed many times, and I don't think I've come to a full understanding and revelation of what that means. And that means that He's enough. He's enough for all my longings and desires, He is. When it comes to all of life's little blessings that are temporary, He's called me to be completely satisfied and content, to set eyes after eternal things, not this temporary stuff.
Right now, I'm actually sitting here in my backyard.. in my Dad's garden beholding (literally).... how appropriate heh heh. I'm in his garden and in his company [this so makes my heart smile, my Dad is so handsome].

So now that I've sat down and taken a look at the little things God does to entertain our fancy, like seeing the clouds part, the skies turn pink, and the butterflies chase each other, I'm completely enthralled at His beauty. Beholding The Beautiful One, and allowing myself to be satisfied in Him is incredibly freeing. It's a rest. I hear Him say, "It's okay... delight in Me." The other night, I was talking to a dear dear friend and spiritual mother, and she was talking to me about this very thing. To be content with Who He is. And as I search my heart, I ask myself, "Who and what is my delight? What delights me?? Why do I covet the things I covet when I have everything, when I've captured the very heart of the Creator of this Universe??" I have everything!!! =DDD
