He Has It All

Mark 10:43-45 "...but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant. And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." To serve. To give His life. This is our Savior. The obedient Son who waits on His Father's commands. Who joyfully listens for His Father's desires. Who desires no name or face for himself. He knows who He is and who His Father is. How his Father looks at Him with the deepest love possible. He knows His Father's power and comfort and peace. He knows who He is and who His Father is. He doesn't desire to be great among the people or be first. He knows He is the apple of His Father's eye and there is no greater space to behold. He knows He has it all there in that space. It's enough. He trusts this. Perhaps when we are in the same mindset as Jesus, knowing who we are and knowing who our Father is, we are satisfied. We no longer vie for position or desire to be great in the eyes of the spectators. We know who we are and who our Father is. We know the depth of the love He has and is lavishing on us. We know how He draws us with His unfailing kindness. We know the power that rests in and around us. We want to serve our Father. We know what He bids us do is service to Him, and He is so pleased with us.
