Open The Book!

I was in a book store earlier today and I saw the MSG Bible...I've never really browsed through one before. So, I picked it up and along with my ESV I opened it up to the Psalms. I started reading Psalm 139. I loved the way the MSG had these few verses written:
"I am an open book to you, even from a distance, you know what I am thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back, I'm never out of your sight. You know everything I am going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead....you're there too-your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful-I can't take it all in!" - Psalm139:2-6
I think this is the outline for both new and long time believers. Sometimes, I forget that Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit, which is our helper and comforter. It is Christ in us.... never leaving and always there. I ask myself this question, is being "an open book" to God an exciting, confusing, happy, fearful, challenging kind of experience? ALL OF THE ABOVE...HAHA Then, what does God expect from me...if He's my constant companion?
I am in awe every time I think of Jesus being with me no matter what. Wherever I go...He is there..WOW!!
I believe that God wants that intimacy from us we so long for in a husband or wife. We are lonely here. We see a couple and it hurts because we long for that connection. Those moments when no one else gets you, but that person with whom you have chosen to walk through life with. In all honesty, why would I want something that only scratches the surface of what I already have with God...for free! We are given this gift and we want more...but even when we have it...we still get upset or angry or get hurt by one another. CHRIST IS IN US AND ALWAYS WITH US NO MATTER WHERE WE GO.....WE ARE NOT ALONE! even when I say, "that's it!..I had it!".. the Spirit tugs at my heart and reminds me that He dwells within me and that I have not had it until I GET IT! Every word that comes out of my mouth...did I speak in love? Have I acted as gentle as Jesus did when He washed the feet of the diciples? and Have I pushed my desires aside to honor my father by growing more intimate with Him as a bride to her husband....like Christ to the church? People who live together eventually talk alike, act alike and in some cases think alike. As we strengthen our walk with God, we will begin to mold ourselves into the image He created us to be molded into....like Christ we will take on His heart. I love Christ!!!!..all of this was given to us... How blessed are we?
