What's Our Worth

Philippians 3:21 Who, by the power that enables to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

I had a trip yesterday i spent all day at a state reserve i guess you would call it, it's a large wet land area not far from where we live the college students at our nearby college take care of the area . Anyways This scripture sort of fell in my lap, as i sat in my bus taking in the sounds of the nature i read this scripture and it really spoke to me, a God who controls everything and with the power to control how we feel about him, gave it up and gave us the freedom to choose or reject him. I understand i often thought how much easier it would have been if he just told us the way it is suppose to be love him. Then i thought i would not want my children to love me just because i am their mother i want them to love me from their heart because of how i provide for them and show them love first. God is really no different then us. Then to take it one step further we are rewarded for loving him he takes our once selfish, narrow minded, self centered and turns it into something that draws people to us, and he is not even done with just that when the time comes and our time is done here we are carried away to a much better place he has prepared for us and then given a glorious body, i don't know about you but my body right now is getting a little worn out, i am over weight, the few years i carried a child took it's toll on me with an out of line back, i am just starting to feel the years i have abused and neglected it. A new body it's a pretty cool concept for me.

I have chose to seek the love of Christ all of my days.
