Half of my journey (Today I'm 40)

40 for me is the end of fantasy and the embracing of reality.
This is mature masculinity:  To see me as God sees me.
I am His son, His brother, His slave.

I want one thing:  for people to see clearly God with me.

This alone is my ministry.  This alone is my glory at 40 and for eternity.

How can this be?

How will you see God with me?

I first must clearly see that God is with me, praying ceaselessly.

My every thought is a prayer, a constant conversation connection.

When two are locked in deep eye contact, they create an energy that is felt between them.

So it is with God and me.

This you will see in me.
This is what it means to me to be 40.

I’m thankful for the honor of knowing God, more so being known by God.

To be seen by Him.

His presence is my significance.
I am His lost sheep that he left 99 to find.
I am His lost coin that He rejoiced to locate.

I embrace the loneliness of Holiness, of belonging to Him alone.

I want only the love that He receives.

I only want to be where He is for the rest of this life.

I’ve gone half the journey.

For the rest of the way…I am God’s.
