Though we find ourselves in a world far from perfect, the lessons of the garments of the high priest offer a glimpse of the glory and beauty in which God intends to clothe humanity. While these fine and costly materials fall far short of the glory and beauty that is coming, when we understand the significance of these special garments, we begin to catch sight of the grandeur that awaits us.
God was providing the grumbling people with something beautiful—life-giving water flowing in a dry and waterless place.
There have always been only two motives—love and hate—and only two journeys that proceed from them.
God truly desires to be with us. I want my heart to be won by the love of God, who is always for me and whose heart pulsates with desire for me.
Instead of boasting about God’s infinite authority and might, I want to boast more about His love. When you know and experience someone deeply, you are intimately bound to them. The biblical prophet Jeremiah said that this is what God desires.
The essence of the law is Christlike love, and God promises to give us the very thing He commands.
Something about the folded clothes left in the tomb convinced John of the resurrection.
The question I ask myself is “Am I hearing the voice of Jesus today?”
God wants our hearts and is out to win them. His passionate pursuit and sacred romantic overture are wonderful and mysteriously captivating. He woos us like a bride with His love song and charms us with His beauty.
You don’t need to struggle or strive to shine. Let your light shine. Remove the obstacles, and you can’t help but shine.
