When You Come To A Face Off With God.....Will The Impact Cause You To Be Changed For Him?

What's the answer to the question?    The question about where you are going and what you are doing?    Are you walking where God wants you to walk?   Are you talking the way God wants you to talk?    What are you doing with the life that He has given you?   Is your reflection a reflection of who He is and what He has done?   What impact has God had on who you are and what you are doing? 

An impact is a collision.   It is when two opposing ideas or interests collide.   They come face to face with each other and there is a face off.   What is the result of your face off with God or should I say your encounter with God?   

Are you leaving God's presence changed?   Or are you walking away from the challenge without being impacted.    God loves you and it is His desire to use you to reflect His glory.   But if you never come face to face with God and His way of doing things.....He cannot effectively use you.    Until you come to the "point of no return"......you will always stay on your side.    Your side is your way of thinking and your way of doing.     It's time to draw the line in the sand to determine which side you really want to be on.    Will it be God's side .... His way of doing things and His perception of love.    Or will you stay in your own little world.   Your perception of what is right and your desires centered around self.  

When we get the full picture of what God wants....we can see that our life is not our own.   We are a tool in the Master's hand.   Our tests and our testimonies are tools that are being used to reflect His goodness, grace, and mercy upon the earth.    When we step outside of self .... we can see who God really is.   Who He is to us, in us, and through us.    The thing is ..... we have to determine whether or not we will allow God to impact us so that He can reflect through us.   

We all get to the point where there is a line in the sand.   Where we have to determine the reality of what we say we believe.    Where we come to the face off with God and determine whether we will be impacted by Him ..... so that we can be used for Him.   

What will be the result of your encounter with God today?   Will your reflection reflect who He is or will you only see "self" when you look in the mirror?
