Should be or He is?

"So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus." Romans 6:11


The sweetness of Jesus is more satisfying and lasting than anything we could search for.  When we make Him our He is. Unfortunately we all too often leave Him as the thought, “He should be” yet we never make the thought become the reality into our He is. I wonder if it is because the things we choose to do are not the things He would choose us to do?

Jesus should be the piece of clothing we have to have, or the gamble we want to put a bet on.

He should be the meal we can't wait to devour, or the drug we are addicted to.

He should be the talk of the town, or the gossip we can't wait to spread. 

He should be the affair we desire!

He should be the guest of honor at every party.

His word should be the movie we are dying to see and are addicted to. 

He should be the sweet aroma that we spray on everyday. 

He should be the best friend we choose

He should be the lap we lay on when we are sick

He should be the prize we run for.

He should be the one we treasure

He should be the one we fight for

He should be the one we cling to

He should be the one we thirst for

He should be our heart's desire

He should be the one we work for

He should be the one we seek to please

He should be the one we impress

He should be the one we hurt for

He should be the one we die to

He should be the one we go to war for

He should become our He is and not should be.

Jesus there is nothing sweeter than You, there is nothing greater, or more satisfying.  Lord open our hearts and pour Your word and Spirit within us.  May we come and taste the sweetness of Your presence as we make You our HE IS. Amen
