To Be or Not To Be, That is The Question!

P.S. It's not like the dawn just came over marble head. I did know all I previously shared. But knowing it and experiencing it are all together different, aren't they now?

I think of the numbers of people who are truly touched at evangelical altar calls to come and receive Jesus in your heart. Most cases, this is very real HS stuff! All too often though, there is no one to walk with that person afterward, modeling true relationship like Jesus did. Instead we have people who teach about it. I remember John Wimber asking the first church he attended, when did they do that stuff they kept reading about in the Bible? Why should we be any different? Is it good enough just to know what you know or do you need to dial down and be?

Be what? That is the question, isn't it? What should we be? What do you want me to be? What did Jesus model for us? He "be-ed" the Son of God, right? Who are you? Sons and daughters of the King of Kings, right? Have you ever stopped to ask God what does that mean? I mean, we are so busy doing the stuff, when do we hang out with God? When do we talk to him, when do we notice those in prison, sick, naked, hungry, cold, etc.? When we slow down, stop following formulae and BE! Be His! Song of Solomon teaches: "I am my Beloved's and He is mine!" Can we get that? Can we ponder it like Mary pondered in her heart? Might that be the way to start be-ing?

I am not suggesting swing from one extreme to the other. I am suggesting that true being is somewhere in the center of the two extremes and out of our relationship with Him everything else flows. That's how I came to be in this family called 'Blood n Fire' which is really just another part of the Kingdom of God family in which we all belong. But that's another story. To be or Not To Be, that is the question; isn't it?
