Good, you're still with me! Now I've come to the tail end of my
story. Of course, this tail end continues on every day for the rest of my
life. |
|
I am still learning about what God has for me. Every once in a while
God lets me know I am doing fine. He is revealing things to me a piece at a
time. |
|
I have been praying for understanding and wisdom. I have been
praying to be used. I have been learning more and more about the Lord by
reading my Bible. He has been opening my understanding about a lot of
scriptures. |
|
I am also praying that He reveal anything in my life that hinders
my walk with Him. I don't want anything standing in the way of my being used
by Him. In other words, I'm continuing the dying-to-self as I strive
to be in His will 100% of the time. |
|
The Lord has shown me quite a few important things. He has shown me
that everything is all about love. Without love for God and for people I
cannot be used by Him. Everything He wants me to do has to do with love.
Without love I am unusable. |
|
He has told me that He will teach me everything I need to know. I am
spending as much time as I can in the Word and in prayer. Satan is throwing
roadblocks into my path to try to keep my mind on other things. I am only
temporarily sidetracked. I have my mind focused on the Lord. I am learning
how to abide in Him. I am slowly but surely emptying myself of myself and
filling myself with Him. |
|
I want to be like Jesus. I want to love people with His heart and
see people through His eyes. I am trying to be continually in touch through
prayer. I am trying to ask His advice about everything. I am trying to speak
words of which He would approve. Do I always succeed? No, not by a long
shot. Does He condemn me for it? No, not at all. He just offers me His love
and forgives my mistakes.I sure do love Him!
|
|
I find it is very difficult to socialize with people who don't know
the Lord. That is what I want to talk about and they don't want to hear it.
Even my family gets tired of hearing me go on and on about Him. My mom
thinks I'm crazy. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Thankfully, God
has led me to some people with which I can discuss deeply spiritual things.
It hurts to not be able to discuss these things with my family and have them
support me and encourage me. Yet, I continue to have hope that they
will come to that knowledge some day. |
|
God has "graduated" me from hearing His voice in my head to more
of a "knowing" His will. I'm guessing that He wanted me to know His
will in a split second instead of waiting for it. So, I have to be
even more careful as I go through each day to make sure that He and I are on
the same page every single second of every single minute of every single
hour. |
|
Lord, I pray for the person reading this. I pray that they might
feel your love wash over them. I pray they might hear your voice. I pray
they desire to know what your will is for their life and that they make the
decision to let go of their life and allow you to have it. I pray they
discover the gifts you have given them and allow those gifts to be used for
the edification of the body.And Lord, thank you for using
me.In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. |
