"The glory of God is man fully alive." -St. Ireneaus
This has been one of my favorite quotes of all time.
Ever since I first heard it I’ve wondered, what does it mean to be fully alive?
To have no dead part in you?
No sick part in you?
No unhealed part in you?
No bitter root in you?
No envy in you?
No insecurity in you?
But to live with eyes alight and flooded with truth. To live with a heart moving with the love of God and nothing else. To have the breath of the Spirit of God rushing through every corridor of your body, spirit and soul.
What does that look like?
It must have looked something like the garden of Eden, where man could actually walk with God our true Father, and our Creator. The only One who can heal every part of us and knows, even beyond our own knowledge, exactly what we need.
What’s it like to walk with someone who knows you more than you do?
So many people want to be known, long to be known and understood and loved despite the fear of the risk of being truly seen.
But we don’t just want to be seen by anyone, but by someone who is special and not just this… but great. One who is able to heal, to restore..to breathe heavenly life in us.
We all long for our Maker.
What’s it like to see the One who knows you most and talk to Him in His fullness?
It must feel like being fully alive. It must look… like Jesus (the most accurate view of the love of God put into human flesh)
