Our 

Christlikeness

We possess the virtues needed to reflect Christ in abundant supply!!!

These virtues of our faith are goodness, understanding. Self-control and patient endurance. Godliness, mercy towards others, and unending love.” (Taken from 2Peter 1: 6-7 (TPT)) 

This is Christ in us! 

Holy Spirit unwrapping who we truly are without the grave clothes of our old nature. The scripture goes on to say, if we lack these things, it is because we have closed our eyes. Spiritual blindness draws a veil over the truth so that we cannot comprehend the mysteries of our faith. We lose sight of our innocence. (Taken from the Passion and the Mirror translations). So when we find ourselves lacking in these attributes, it is because we have looked away from who is reigning within us and who we are as His reflection.

Therefore, let us open the eyes of our hearts to see the Lord face to face. In this place, everything that is not of Him diminishes as we walk together, holding our gaze as He holds ours. All else is forgotten. Whispers of lies, half-truths, unmet needs and our failures and those of others can no longer be heard in the divine duet of hearts entangled.

We allow the truth to explode inside of us, thus the fanfare of this Divine Romance and our future together becomes a triumphant procession. We rule and govern within the Lordship of our King, perceiving the fruit blooming from within us. Witnessing the display of His glory as we choose to allow Him access through us in our gracious speech, our kind thoughts, and our positive actions. And we decree life, hope, and peace from the fountain of love within us.
