“ALL THINGS!”

 John 1:3-4                    (ESV)

“[3] “ALL THINGS” were made through HIM, and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. [4] IN HIM WAS LIFE, and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men.” 

After being SO CLOSE to death in 2007, my “perceptiveness” has DRASTICALLY changed!  Formerly I was “hurrying” through life with seemingly no time to appreciate the things in life that truly were a MESSAGE from GOD.  

This morning I was “scrolling” through social media accounts and I saw a picture of a mom and her 20 year old son who was currently a United States Marine.  The very next picture on my feed was a picture of a baby with these words, “Made in the Image of God.  No child should be aborted.”  Yet nowadays this society seems to have the mentality that LIFE is brought about by human acts, whether planned or unplanned!!

The Book of John is one of my favorites in the entire BIBLE!  Verses three and four of the opening chapter states that JESUS was BEFORE “ALL THINGS”, and that “ALL THINGS” were CREATED for HIM and by HIM!  Humanity isn’t capable of CREATING a life, and in reality CANNOT end a life WITHOUT GODS DIVINE interaction.  When we SLOW DOWN and realize that our CREATOR IS in CONTROL of “ALL THINGS”, only then is it possible for our EYES to SEE precisely what JESUS CHRIST has PLANNED for us!  

WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL!  When our EYES are OPENED and we are able to SEE things with DIVINE INTERVENTION, ONLY THEN can our MINDS understand what GOD HAS PLANNED for our lives!  We are ALL mortal beings, encumbered with the parameters placed on our lives by OUR CREATOR!  We are able to SEE “ALL THINGS” ONLY WHEN HE OPENS OUR EYES!!!
