This whole transition time in our lives is hard. I'm ready for something new. I'm ready to move on from what we are leaving behind. I'm sad about moving on. I don't like moving on, but I have to. Okay, I'm not actually ready to move on, but I guess the thought process of moving on makes things easier to deal with. Moving on in your life suggests you are leaving something behind. It suggests maybe you haven't dealt with everything. To me, it suggests that I might have to just forget something. I don't want to forget. One of my friends has a funny saying, "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!" That saying has been in my head a lot lately. It demands moving! Moving on from where I'm at. I can't stay where I'm at. I have to go somewhere else. That saying is really true for me right now in a sense. I can't stay where I'm at right now. I can't stay in this place. I have to move on. If I don't move, I'll never get anywhere.
The Lord reminded me of this passage this morning...
Ephesians 3:14-21
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
I want to be strengthened. And the only place I want to be rooted is in Christ's love. Not Tulsa. Not a particular church. Just rooted in Christ. Just rooted in His love for me. Why do I always forget God's promises? I'm so glad He takes time to remind me.
