In my time of sin, (Joel 2:1-32) there is an arid climate,
there is a desert, there is close to unbearable heat and excruciating light,
because day by day I am confronted with the truth of who I have become. My life
has become barren and empty. But God tells me there is an army to save me,
while I tremble in the fear of total annihilation. It’s Jesus’ army, the only
army that can overcome the darkness the heart of darkness, the only one who
will overtake my heart and change me so that I can truly love God and be blessed
in Him. What I don’t comprehend is that Jesus’ army is not an army of strife,
of physical brute strength where I am forced physically to change, but an army
of love, of the spirit in which I change because I come to know the riches that
are in Jesus and because I am allowing God to control my life. Jesus overtakes
and overcomes my heart.
