Hot & Cold

I had this vision thing the other day and I met to post it yesterday, but I didn't.
And now I am posting it.

I saw myself playing Hot & Cold with Jesus.
It was in a big room with lots of different things in it.
When I ran to the things that I desired or things of the world, Jesus would say, "Colder! Colder!"
But when I ran to things of Him and desires of His heart He would say, "Hotter! Hotter!"
Finally I was getting hotter and hotter until I found what I was searching for.
A large ball of what looked, and felt, like fire.
I reached to pick it up and found out that it was as hot as fire.
It was so hot that the moment I picked it up I through it up in the air.
But Jesus reach out a caught it in mid air.
The ball of what I thought was fire didn't seem to effect Jesus.
He held it out towards me and asked, "Why did you throw my gift?"
I looked at him then to the gift, then answered, "Sorry, it was just so hot. I couldn't hold on to it."
Jesus just smiled and put the ball back in my hands and said, "Is it really that hot?"
As I held the ball in my hands I could feel only burning heat.
I shifted the ball to one hand so I could look at the other, fully expecting it to be burnt.
But as I looked at my hand I realized that my hand was not burnt, but warn and shinning as bright as the sun.
Then I stared into the ball of what I thought was fire.
I realized it wasn't fire, but was a big shinning diamond.
I looked at Jesus, wanting to ask him so many questions, but all I could do was look from Him to the diamond and then back again.
Then suddenly all the things in that room began to fade away.
All the things that weren't of Him, all the things of the world, all my selfish desires.
They just faded away like the morning mist when the sun rises.
All the remain were the things of Him, the desires of his heart.
Jesus and I looked at each other and He spoke these words to me: "The diamond I have given you represents the time you spend with me, the things I've shared, the gifts I've given to you. You have to search for it in a world of distractions. But once you get pass them you find the beautiful gift I have in store for you. And sometime it burns to pick it up. It means giving up what your flesh wants. But if you hold on to it long enough it doesn't hurt so much. It effects you and heart and how you reach out to other. Once you fix your eyes on me the things of the world won't seem so important."


Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
