Consume me. Consume my thoughts. Consume my actions. Consume my dreams. Consume me inside and out.
How incredible would it be if we allowed Christ to consume our thoughts, time, actions, dreams, goals; if we let Him consume our lives? What would that look like? All I can say is that it would be incredible and would look nothing like my life now. I've often pondered this. Yet, I cannot seem to be fully consumed by Christ. Why is it so hard? I mean, the world is distracting, a mess, bleh bleh bleh. Distractions, sin, worldly things, SELFISHNESS, PRIDE...yeah, those are all huge things that make it difficult to be fully consumed by God. But then, I think about God and His mighty power. Can He not fully consume me? Is He not greater than this world and all that is in it? Yes. He is greater than all things. He is most powerful and can fully consume me. I realize how often I simply do not allow Him to fully consume me. Still, it is really difficult to remember to let Christ rule in my heart. It is difficult to remember to ask Him daily (despite the clear change in my life when I do ask Him).
I struggle. I am frustrated by my struggle.
