undone

Do you ever feel as though you are coming completely undone?  Has there been anything that occurred to make you feel like that while you were wholly committed to our Lord Jesus?  I’ll give pause to that, lol, what has happened lately while you are belonging to our God?
Music always speaks to me… I was listening to a song this morning that has a phrase “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God”.  And I felt moved by the Spirit.  And then the next feeling was, while worshiping, I should clean off my kitchen table.  I’m not being flip here, but serious.  You see, about 2 months ago I brought my sewing machine out of it’s closet hiding spot and placed it and all other related sewing goods on the kitchen table.  That is where they have stayed for the past few months.  Jammed off to the side, crowding up the area for any guests to eat, although, who is having guests these days?? Probably why I have been so slack in cleaning it off.
As I went to begin putting the items away, I was thwarted by my measuring tape… it was rudely bunched up, instead of cleanly rolled and because of this, the container that housed all the smaller items would not close.  So, of course, I tried to quickly roll it up and shove it in the container.  No luck.  Then I had to take the time to completely undo the mess and then re-roll it properly.  That’s when it hit me.  Isn’t that what happens to us?
We come to Jesus all rolled (each person in their own different ways) completely improperly.  We can not fit into the “Kingdom’s container”.  And our Lord cares far too much for us than to haphazardly “shove” us in… he wants us unrolled… stripped down… made new… renewed in Him.  Re-rolled.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. Now everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.” (2 Cor 5:17-19)
Then the process can begin. 
“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ; certain that God is appealing through us, we plead on Christ's behalf, "Be reconciled to God." He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Cor 5:20-21)
Calling others to be “undone” and “re-rolled”.  Not for our sake… but for His.
