As I celebrated America's birthday yesterday, I spent some time reflecting on nationality and citizenship. I'm so very thankful for the freedoms, liberties, privileges, and many blessings that God has blessed me with as a woman living in America. I've seen what it looks like to live in other countries where those treasures are scarce and hardship abounds, and I began to pray that God would make me a faithful steward of those gifts. I have been given so many opportunities to make God's name famous - oh, to share my blessings with others and not hoard them for myself! In reflecting on my earthly nationality, I was reminded that my true citizenship lies in Heaven. I am so thankful that God has given us fellowship with global believers that transcends time. I am untied with my brothers and sisters in Christ no matter our geography, skin color, or heart language - we are one in Christ and together we will worship our King Jesus one day!
I'm reminded of this video from Passion 2012, Chris Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God." Fun fact: when this performance took place (both live in Georgia and streaming online), "how great is our God" was the #1 trending topic in the WORLD on Twitter. Yes, in the world. So exciting to know that folks were worshiping all over the world at the same time! This, to me, is truly a glimpse of what Heaven will be like.
