Supernatural. I love this word. I also love my Lord because He is a supernatural God. He works in the supernatural. And the wonderful gift that I have is that I can live in the supernatural too. I can tap into His pool of supernatural and abundantly receive power and strength. Because the natural is our human weakness-the flesh in us that craves for luxury, for comfort and for life to enfold perfectly without a single crease. It doesn't take us too long to figure out that life in this world, at least, is nothing close to utopia. Daily struggles exist and sometimes, natural circumstances test our patience and resilience.
But, oh, what a glorious thought of Jesus, who is supernatural personified can overturn this bleak and sombre picture I just painted. Because He died on the cross and rose again, because He came to earth and denied Himself for us, we too can experience the supernatural. My heart swells with the immense desire to possess this supernatural gift and to use it to guide my daily living.
I want to live out this supernatural life. I don't want to just be someone who raves about it, speaks wonders about it but does not practise it. The ideal of being free from sin, suffering and shame is absolutely possible. Why? Because of the supernatural! By grace we forgive those who scorn over this truth. And because of this truth, I rejoice, I'm thankful and I want it, I want it and I want it!
Supernatural. An amazing word. Even more amazing, to live it out!
