Box labeled "Jesus"

     Does anyone here ever think about how big God really is? For some reason I was thinking about that the other day. I think that as I was trying to live my day out with Christ maybe He was trying to help me understand as much of that as was possible in this moment in my faith. I was actually a little bit awestruck for that first time in a long time.
     He is so magnificently, beautifully, and glorifyingly large that we as small minded human beings can't really begin to comprehend that. I think that it actually is His Glory that is so unimaginable. I think that the vast size and beauty of the earth alone is only a small taste of what He has in store for us as His creation. I think that the Glory that God infused with His creation is really all that He knew we could understand. As part of His creation, its easy to say that His Heavenly beauty will be more than we can imagine, but no matter how hard we try, we can not comprehend the true beauty of His plan fulfilled. Its actually very difficult right now to put it all into words that can even describe the thoughts in my mind.
     So God, infinately larger than the earth and heavens themself, fits in this little tiny box that we allow Him to remain in right? Is that even possible? We try to believe that it is don't we? I think that giving God a compartment in our lives, even a large one, really dulls down the Glory that He wants people to see in us. We have a lot of boxes. Some that are really important, some that aren't. Most of us have so many boxes that we have all rented out a storage unit so we can keep them for another time. Ya know, when we finally realize that our boxes are getting in the way. Maybe sometimes we can go to the storage unit and drop off a box or two, and replace them with one that's been in storage for a while. I can even say that I have dropped of my Jesus box from time to time. Too many boxes! I think it's time for a major garage sale.
     Do we actually think that we can squeeze Jesus in a box and put it away until we need Him? Christ is the One and only that can decide if anyone should be in a box or not. He absolutely does not even consider putting us in a box that He can put away until He feels like playing with us. We have an uncanny ability to play God don't we? What if we felt like we didn't need any more boxes? What if we lived like we didn't have any more boxes?
     I am really starting to realize for the first time in my life how much more God has to offer us. We just choose not to receive it. A new insight was revealed to me recently. Before the fall of Adom, we all thought that he was naked and just didn't know it. Maybe, but I feel that maybe he was actually clothed in the Glory of God. Why else would it have been possible for him to stand in the garden with God. Everybody since then, until Jesus, would have been consumed by God. Moses, as Holy as he was couldn't even see His face or he would have been consumed. Imagine for a moment, being clothed in God's Glory. He offers that to us every single day and we choose not to receive It. I say, that for me, I am done with my compartments and boxes. I want Christ to clothe me with His Glory so everyone can see IT. I want every box in my life to be labeled "CHRIST"!
