My Lord,
You are the sustainer of all things. Sunday through Saturday, 24 hours a day, and for that, I am grateful. I listened to a very interesting program this morning on Focus on The Family. I just love their passion for you and the passion that they have to get the family into a "relationship" with the Creator, the Sustainer of life and the Son of God! LOVE IT!
This morning was about being #spiritually stuck. OUCH! I would hate for that to be me or for someone to see me as that type of Christian. I know that life is challenging and will bring about many painful, unique and difficult situations, circumstances and unfortunate events, #BUT My Lord, I pray with my whole heart that I would never become spiritually stuck.
I want to be your servant, your witness, your beloved and your follower. I want to hear from you, be in fellowship with you and continually draw nearer to you. And with that prayer Father, I need you to hold me accountable. I need you to speak to my heart when I'm hungry, angry, lonely and tired. Dr. Stanley said that when we H. A. L. T. , we can become susceptible to sin. The enemy is waiting for me to become vulnerable so that he can ease his way into my life and into my testimony. FATHER, please place your loving protection around me. Please hide me in the shadow of your wings!
I am so grateful for all that you've done in my life and the lives of my children. We cannot begin to express how your love, presence, forgiveness and salvation has brought us closer together. All those years of mistakes, separation, and not knowing has transformed into a love that I cannot put into words. My children and I have reconciled our past and I am forgiven. As I made many, many mistakes as their mom and to think how much they love, honor and respect me now...I still cry.
And not only that, I have reconciled with my mom and dad. I have blotted out the lies that I once believed and the lies that I once held deep in my heart. I am living in truth and I am embracing love and giving love like I never knew existed. I never knew that I was capable of such love and such forgiveness. Everyday of my life is #proof that your Spirit lives in me. Yes, I am in love with JESUS!
Next month will be my 6th Birthday #spiritual speaking, and I still cannot believe that I came into your covenant so late in my life. #BUT, I believe with my entire being, that you were there all along. How amazing that is to me and how awesome to know that you planned everything from the beginning of time. You knew that I'd be a mom, that I'd be a wife and that my marriage would end. You knew that I would have hardships, heartbreaks, disappointments, failures, trials, triumphs, celebrations, successes, victory, redemption, salvation, joy, peace, dreams fulfilled and so much more. YOU are the GOD of all knowing, all powerful and all present!
My heart is yours and in the center of your will is where I long to be!
