I've been sitting on this verse almost all week. I'm still in awe at it. I am still (and probably will be until I enter eternity) trying to wrap my head around the reality of this POWER.
There is power in the miracle of salvation: Jesus took this heart wanting nothing to do with Him, and lit a fire in it where He is my greatest treasure and hope.
There is power in the way knowing Jesus changes me every day; He is shaping me as I seek Him.
There is power in how I actually experience Jesus when I seek Him. He meets me right where I am.
There is power in how Jesus illuminates purpose and perspective: The only way I can describe it is I have a new lens where I see this whole world in color, and I realize now I was seeing in black and white before I knew Him.
There is power displayed when darkness or brokenness is overwhelming and, yet, knowing Jesus makes me want to dance with joy...regardless.
There is power in the way Jesus can use me to share His love and truth with others.
There is power in the cross. The cross is where Jesus took all of me that isn't enough - every failure, flaw and broken piece of me - and felt the eternal weight of my shortcomings, and all those He saved, so that I could feel freedom and life as I am clothed in His perfection.
There is power in His resurrection. He defeated that sin He took from me, He defeated death; the grave has nothing on the power of Jesus.
There is power in the promise of that same eternal life for all who believe. This Jesus: it's not just about talk. It's not just nice things to think about or to make us feel better sometimes. There is real Power in His name. Let it move you.
