HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THE ROCK?!
Jesus is the rock from where we came from. We were found in him before we were ever found in our parents, our friends, and even our churches. So why do we try to please people, and make sure we say certain things or dont say certain things around people, or even look a certain way for people?
We are to come as we are to God, not by what our parents, friends, or other relatives have molded us to be. He wants you as the true person you are, so that he can glorify himself IN you. Too many times we try to fix ourselves, start a ministry, go on and pray for people, when in reality all of that (or whatever your heart desires) will come once you are resting in him. He is the true vine that we must hang from, we are simply the branches.
When we come to the Father, we are made a brand new creation, what does this mean? It means we have a brand new family, it means you are no longer part of your family that you were brought up in, but now you are under the heavenly father, and whatever he says goes. This is not a bad thing as our mind would make it seem, but is a glorious thing to know that whatever we do and say (as long as it keeps us in his presence, and he will discipline you) is good to go.
So why do we hold back on what we feel needs to be said? To not hurt feelings? To be politically correct? We are to be in the world, not OF the world. When you are translated into the kingdom and staying in his presence, what you say becomes holy, what you do stems out from what he is doing, what we hear we must hear with a new perspective.
So here is the question. Are we following under the Fathers head, or are we still following under political correctness and pleasing people??
