Hey guys!
So sorry this is kinda late today. I intended on posting much earlier in the morning but then I got distracted by work...lolol....
I wanted to share a dream I had last night with y'all....
So in this dream, myself and a friend went on some kind of vacation. For some reason, we were looking at apartment homes. This one home we were looking at had the most beautiful outlook. It was decorated very beautifully and had tall elegant ceilings. It was on the second floor of what seemed to be the tallest three story building ever and the complex was a highly secure gated community. All in all, the specifics of the place was just absolutely heavenly except for one thing.
.....In the top left corner of the bathroom ceiling was a colony of humongous rabid bats... Seeing them, I was very startled, a little disgusted and all in all very uncomfortable.
I asked the leasing agent what they were and he said "oh those are the bats....they live here" and then he proceeded to just show off the rest of the house as though the bats were not an issue. The whole thing was just very odd.
Well you know, I woke up and all I could think of was the phrase "And the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord..." (Habakkuk 2:14)
How similar is the picture of that house to most of our lives. We look beautiful on the outside - full of promise and heavily decorated with accolades, achievements etc but in the corner somewhere is something dark and disturbing. Something of an eyesore yet, we walk about and carry on as though there was nothing wrong with the very wrong things that are in us.
I believe God's desire is to fill us completely with HIS glory...not the glory of the world or the human idea of "glory" but HIS true glory. He desires to saturate us through and through with ALL of Himself so that we look, act, smell, talk, walk and become more like Him than our surroundings BUT this only happens when we are honest enough with ourselves to admit that there is something wrong, that there are bats in our house, that we aren't as perfect as we want others (or even ourselves) to believe.
I'm sorry y'all today is very reflectionary (I just made up this word) for me. I'm really bothered by the bats in my house....I need them cleaned out IMMEDIATELY....life is just TOO short to play anymore games.
Sincerely Burdened
