Do you hear Him??
God's love comes skipping across our hearts, daring to land on a tender spot. A spot that you may not even know still needs healing, touching. A spot that is so tender, you have managed to dance around it; to shape your life in such a way that it is never disturbed. Over the years, people and circumstances have managed to poke at it, to pick a bit at the callous that has formed across that open sore spot on your heart. Take heart! This is no ordinary scab...when you pick at it with God's Word - it will not bleed...it will heal. this part of your heart that has remained sick, damaged, not at all the smooth, strong, beautiful area as the rest; this part needs to heal. And with God's Word, and His carefully chosen people, it will. It will "pink up" as the doctor would say. It is dying from lack of attention - not going away as you would have hoped. It still lives, but does not thrive. it still has a bit of breath...but just a bit. There has been a missing part of who you are because this area of your heart you have not been willing to expose. The only one who needs to take a peek at this area is the Living God. he will breathe life back in to this heart - he will heal it not just like new - but better. Better, because now your experiences you can pass on to heal another. (remember the old commercial..."and so on, and so on..." ) You long to hear from God, to serve Him in a more excellent way, but He has been calling to you....let me heal that part of you, I can use it in My kingdom. "You are a valuable resource" God is saying. But we must be willing, and willing to trust. The old song "Trust and Obey, cause there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus..but to trust and obey"
the song says it all.
We can trust Him, for anything, everything....He is the MOST trustworthy. It is mankind who hurts us, the devil who rubs it in, and we who allow it. Take up your sword and follow Him!!!
Into the depths - onward to the war!!!
Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world"!!!!
Take up your sword, gird yourselves for battle. In His Word we have learned that "...with His help I can scale a wall, I can leap the turrents.." Because of Him we can do this - we can live, we can thrive!!
NOTHING is impossible with God!!!!
Go to it - plunge the depths of the Word, and then let it flow through the deep places in your heart. Your battle belongs to the Lord....even if it's a battle within!!
be blessed and not stressed!! He is in control!!!
Pray with me:
"Dear God, thank you thank you for your gentle whispers and nudging that shores me up and restores my soul. Thank you for pouring your love into my broken places, for pulling the "dross" out of my heart, and cleansing me from the inside out. Help me to turn it ALL over to You, and to allow Your perfect healing in my life. Help me to let go of the things I have no business holding on to!! In Jesus Name! Amen!
