Your All-In-All

Yahweh, what is man, that You care for him, the son of man, that You think of him? Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow. - Psalm 144:3-4

I am nobody without Christ and I must confess that I don't always like it. You see, I am also a man and men (typically) like recognition. Our egos are often fragile and when the recognition goes lacking or missing, we begin to doubt our purpose and existence. We crave significance. How can we possibly win the victory over this "craving?"

Well, King David did nothing. He simply "yielded," as God did everything that was necessary. Little-by-little, over the course of his life, God took small pieces of David until he just disappeared. By the end of his life on earth, David no longer existed and God was glorified.

Until you are willing to become a nobody, God's presence in your life will be hidden. Yet, if you yield, truly surrender all, He will take your life from you piece by piece (Himself filling the void) until He is all in all.

Ego is to the true self what a flashlight is to a spotlight. - John Bradshaw
