Worth

Everything that I am is VALUABLE.  Everything that I do is PRECIOUS. 
Everything that I say is IMPORTANT.  Everyone that I touch is GOLDEN.

What is your WORTH?  I'm guessing it cannot be told... 

From the archives (journal Dec 2007)

"A few weeks ago I was drawn into a vision where I was covered up with what looked and felt like hardened dirt, grime, caked on, layers thick that I was actually wearing like a suit.  I had the sense that God wanted to take off the dirt suit and reveal a new me.  The knowing was that I had been living with this earth-dirt-suit for my entire life and once and for all God wanted me to be clothed with something else entirely.
This vision has been continuous since it began.  I am constantly aware that  God wants to finish the unveiling.  He started with my left hand.  He took His hand and touched my fingertips with His right hand.  The dirt and caked on layers (on my fingertips) instantly melted away into nothingness and when He pulled His fingers away from mine I noticed the letters W-O-R-T-H on each of His fingertips.  Then when I looked at my own fingertips I had the letters imprinted on my fingers in such a way that they felt ink-wet and I knew that they would always remain that way so that whoever I touched from then on would know their worth (would be imprinted) the way I had just experienced it...with a greater anointing and power than I have ever known.  Everytime I hug someone or touch anyone, from inside I hear the sound of chimes (it almost sounds like a wave of the magic wand sound from cartoons and movies).  And since I have never been an affectionate person, I'm finding it really amazing that I want to touch and hug everyone that I see.  Jesus continues to uncover and to reveal as I am ready.  It seems as though it could take as long or as short a time as I want it to.  But it also seems as if I'm outside of time in these days.  So it's not a focus.  What I am focused on is the vision-like reality of my life right now.  This is not the charismatic, spirit filled experience that I have known for awhile now.  This is sustainable, and reproducible and incredible with no break in my experience of His presence.
So...I've had a lot of supernatural experiences since day one of my encounter with Jesus.  This one is different.  It's a newness that cannot be explained.  I'm just gonna go way out here and say that it feels like I'm getting a new body to live in, a glorious one without limitation.  I'm not tied to this thought, I'm just saying what it feels like.  It is pure bliss...and I can't contain it.  It's getting harder and more difficult to have the wrong responses to situations and what's in front of me.  The struggle is fading away.  The sun is up all the time.  It feels like I'm hanging out in the transition from glory to GLORY with only moments to Christ's return."

Everything that we are is VALUABLE.  Everything that we do is PRECIOUS.  Everything that we say is IMPORTANT.  Everyone that we touch is GOLDEN.

Believe.

I live more fully when I'm writing.  When I'm not writing, I may not really be living at all.  So I'm writing.   I can feel the pull of darkness...I am moved by the strength of light.  I am caught in a waterfall of sudden blessing and rapid healing...falling to the deep...surrender in my bones.
