At launch we were given kingdom journey keys. Each key had a different word on it and it was our job to seek the lord and pursue what God had to reveal to us through this word. You see, the world race leadership prayed over these keys as they knew God had something incredible to reveal to each one of us through them. The keys were on chains so we could wear them as necklaces and constantly be reminded to pursue Christ’s journey for us everytime we put them on and looked at them.
The word on my key is MORE. I thought the word was interesting and immediately thought the meaning behind the word “more” was that god wanted me to spend more time with him. I wasn’t wrong in assuming that for god’s love is constant. You can never ever spend too much time with him and I’ve been finding myself thirsting for his words and presence more than ever.
With that came proverbs 3. It’s a metaphor for wisdom, where wisdom is described as a she. It states that “She is more precious than jewels and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life are in her right hand and in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.” With the translation of she being wisdom, god brought to light that I am being brought into more wisdom but also that I am more.
I am more.
God has brought a lot of things to the light for me these past few weeks. One of them being how I view myself. In the past I have always seen myself from the perspective of boys. For the most part it was always positive things. The average compliments a girl would get from boys in highschool. But those are the things I defined myself as. As pretty and beautiful and whatever else the boys would say that made me feel wanted and worthy. Although, yes it was kind words that I defined myself as it was not to the extent of god’s view on my beauty. So I was hit with the truth that I am indeed even more than those words I had been defined as.
David writes in Psalm 34:5 saying “Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.” The word radiant kept coming up. God kept telling me I am more than what I’ve already been told I am…but what is more than that? God spoke the word Radiant over me and said that is how he views me as his child. He see’s me as radiance. Which is a word I’ve never been described as before. The definition of radiant is a beaming light. I am not anything I’ve ever been told I am, good or bad. In God’s eyes I am so much more than any worldly description. I am a radiant beaming light. Wow.
