Truth in Love – blog entry

Wednesday, May 08, 2013

Recently someone sent me the following question.

What does it mean to be completely dependent on God?

That is a question you will be discovering the answer to for a lifetime. Our dependence upon God unfolds like a beautiful flower opening over a course of time, throughout the span of life. It deepens in color, richness, beauty, and delicacy until it becomes something that is so breathtaking it brings tears to your eyes each time you think of its wonder.

In the infancy of your Christianity, it means you trust enough to approach Him with innocence by trusting that His Way is the ONLY way things are to be done. You are dependent on His care, greatness, goodness, and wisdom to know the best path for every situation. Paths you can discover through His Written Word, the Bible, and/or communication with Him, prayer.

Secondly, you completely depend upon His agenda for you and for your life. You begin to set aside your agenda and your own ideas and you begin to seek only what He wants for your life and then you act accordingly. True dependence is not just found in the knowing of God’s Will but also displayed in the taking of action once God has shown you something, given you a revelation, required something of you, or prompted you to some form of action. Dependence says, ‘I trust that You know what is better for my life than I know.’

If you can just begin to move sincerely in these two aspects of complete dependence, you would see so much more peace, freedom, and inner security enter your life.

Spiritual/Political Disclaimer:

This blog will not be for the faint of heart or the easily offended. It will not be in any way politically correct. It will make every effort to share the truth in love, [Ephesians 4:11-16], to a decaying and dying society and church. I share what I share not to hurt, harm, or offend any person[s] or group; I do it because Christ’s Standard and Truth is not being represented by enough of His Followers and I do it out of love. I love enough to tell His Truth.

Ephesians 4:11-16 NKJV

11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
