Monday Morning Meditation STEEPED in One Thousand Gifts…
Salvation.
The act of being rescued, saved.
It’s believing HIS sacrifice was enough, satisfying.
We are saved from the abyss ~ eternal separation from HIM~ and from ourselves.
In and of ourselves, weakness and uncertainty, work and effort reign.
When we turn to Him, our backs to the mirror, we find salvation.
Our reflection doesn’t save.
Our ability doesn’t save.
We are incapable of saving ourselves.
A pivoting 180 is where we see salvation face-to-face.
Our efforts are silly. Our attempts are foolish.
We cannot save self.
Only HE can save self, ourselves.
Through surrender, yielding to HIM, welcoming the gift of salvation, we find ourselves.
The selves He envisioned and designed.
An ourselves mirrored, seeing His reflection instead of our own.
Once we acquiescence our lives, settle into our new life, strength comes.
A supernatural strength is enabled as we rest in complete dependence upon Him.
Salvation, strength, satisfaction.
A satisfying life, one given way to Him, rescued, restored, relaxed.
