GOD, I’M SO INTO YOU
That’s the song I’m now singing to God because He finds all these ways to reveal His Presence with me. The love! The love! The love He shows me is so intense that I want to say, ‘God, I’m all Yours!!! May my entire life glorify You!!!!’ And I want the whole world here with me, not missing out on one nanosecond of rolling with Papa GOD, baby!
I can’t get over how I had a talk with my new car detailing guy, Kari before we closed up the shop together on Thursday night. I said to him, “This business is my cross right now to carry. We must be like Jesus in the world and carry our crosses on behalf of God.” Fast forward to the next day, and it was Good Friday, where we remember when Jesus carried his cross, I woke up stressing over this cross (our family’s business), and I said let me see what God had to say to me in my meditation book, and look what I directly opened up to:
“CARRY IT (YOUR CROSS) JOYFULLY, LOVINGLY. Carry it generously and you will learn to hide it from those around you, as you would hide a treasure. Hide it behind a generous smile and you will discover in the depths of your soul, what our Lord’s words mean when he says, ‘My yoke is easy and my burden is light’ (Mt 11:30); for he, the good Cyrenean of souls will help you carry it.” – Jesus As Friend by Salvatore Canals
Honestly, my heart just melted! Honestly, who am I for God to show me such love and attention? I woke up all anxious and stressed (your girl is not used to all this pressure!), and God lovingly showed up as if saying, “Nik, don’t stress, my boo. You can carry this cross joyfully because I am here to help you.”
And help me, God has been doing! Knowing I’m not tackling this dealership alone and that God Himself is my Partner brings me such peace. I tell our staff that we must show up, do our best, and leave the rest with God.
Everything we do is between us and God! Don’t worry about what anyone else is doing; do what you feel God is asking you to do and be obedient to Him! I promise you, this is the way to the best life with God. Kari has inspired me so much! He takes his prayer times seriously, and he has inspired me to up my game and connection with God.
I want the entire world here with us. Let’s make rolling with God on a daily a lifestyle where we are looking to God in every example, every decision, every circumstance, and every decision, seeking to do what it is He would have us to do. May we all be God’s representatives in the world where we go overboard in love, loyalty, patience, kindness, gentleness, and faithfulness. I say I’m loyal to a fault, but God Himself rewards that loyalty. The way God shows up for me in every aspect of my life, I say God, anything to please you, let me learn. Amen.
