I am not holy, how does He see me so?  I am not humble, how does He accept me so?  I am not obedient, worthy or authentic.  How can He find any of these characteristics true of me when none are visibly verifiable?  What component outside of time, through omniscience does He use to see these things which I cannot see myself?  If I could see these things about myself, perhaps I would be less faint, more august, a great deal more assured.  Why has He left me to wonder about eternity, saints and angels?  Is there perhaps some victorious purpose to taking it upon faith?  Believing in this without sight.  It stands to reason that this would somehow be more valuable than the man who must “see to believe”, it certainly is a great deal more difficult.

What then do you believe would be a measured reward for faith and walk without sight?  Do you believe in a God who would righteously gift such believers with a measure of understanding, assuredness or glory beyond that of the man who “sort of believed” or took a wait and see approach?  Again, it seems reasonable to assume that a Righteous Father would somehow recognize that capacity to walk through faith and consider it rarity.  Please do not count me among those who would unwisely claim to understand the mind of God, for His thoughts are beyond my comprehension.  I am merely making a point of logic reasoning as many Christians are forced to do in their disciple conversations.  It stands to logic, reason and all truthful measure that those who took on face value what God has told them would receive some tangible or intangible compensation for such response to Glory’s Call.

The enemy would have us condemn, recriminate and slander ourselves to the point of disbelief.  he would have us remain tightly perched in the slumber of depression, insecurity, apathy or inferiority.  he would have us sell-out our birthright for luke-warm broth or exchange it for sinful, breathless moments, passing bitterly and begging re-edification.  he would have us depend entirely upon the world, ourselves and chance for identity and worth.  he would have us dwell in the mired depths of idontknowville, cannotburg and beyondmetown.  These are not thoughts and actions consistent with joint heirs to the Kingdom of God.

I will do great things, beyond my own capacities because He said that I would.  I will create new circumstances and heal worldly wounds through the Glory which resides within me.  I will overcome obstacles that may appear insurmountable by mounting on the Wings of the Most High God.  My God loves me and He loves you too.  He does not want that any should perish, He wants that all would come to Him for salvation.  It is not illogical for me to believe in the mystery of rapture, it is rather consistent with His Word and His Nature to shelter those who believe from a wrath He designed for a disobedient world.  I understand that you must consistently see evidence, fact and incontrovertible proof in order to believe the Truth set before you.  However, I will seek the reward of a Glorious, Loving and Righteous God who would have me whisked away in the “twinkling of an eye” to be with Him as He pours out His wrath upon a disobedient world.  In His Glory I sing, reside and rest.  Praise Jesus Christ the King.  Amen.
