RELATIONSHIPS AND GROWING DISTANT TO THIS WORLD
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
My life is changing as I get older and I am beginning just giving up sinful to focus on things that as my heart was never on my radar before. Some of these things have to do with general change physically like things that I can't do any longer, yet somehow in my mind, I can still see myself able to do with ease because I know how; it's just that my body won't move that way anymore. There are other changes I am noticing now as well, but they are not physical things even though they affect every other physical thing around me.
One of these things deals with the relationships I have with everyone in my life. I never really thought of dying to this world as being more than just giving up the sinful side of things in life, but I have begun to realize that my allegiance to this world is changing too. This does not affect the love that I have for those around me, but it is changing them to a large degree. I find that if I really think about it I don't have what can be called a normal relationship with anyone. It makes me wonder what other changes will occur as my transformation continues. I can close my eyes and see my new Heavenly home just waiting for me and I find myself clinging to that so much that I forget about the world I am still living in. I think Paul said much the same kind of thing. It is a feeling like wanting to be with Christ above all things and yet realizing that I am still here for a great purpose as well. That purpose is to share what is flowing through my heart with you from Christ's Spirit.
This has been a slow continuous change in my life that I have not understood until recently, but I do know it is from God and not just a kind of depression about my physical condition presently. I have a new spirit within me that is dictating how and what I feel about this world and those around me. It is not a lack of love or caring for people because I think I am loving more and better than I ever have, but it is a change in the ways I love others. That change is deeper and more spiritual than it ever has been before, and with that comes a slight change in the ways my heart approaches and responds to others...it has been a process where I have begun to see people differently than ever before for the simple fact that I have been letting go of this life in exchange for what has been promised.
I have begun to realize certain things that we should all be looking for in our lives in the manner that Jesus told us to of our "WHITE KNUCKLE" grasp of this life should actually grow less as we get closer to the Father., and it should be a natural transition from our desire to live in this life to a desire for eternal life in Christ. Once we have that assurance settled into our lives then we start new and different stages to our transformation. When we start to really get that then a peace sets into us that cannot be understood by anyone around us that is not in the same place. Keep me in prayer as I discover and share more with you about this; may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
