Was listening to Beth Moore this morning. I can and so many others can relate to what this woman of God shares. Case-in-point, Beth said a profound thing on the program this morning which touched me where I am at:
"Since life continually beats up on us, the process is never done. God I have to have you! I got to know that you are with me! That you are continually working on me! I may be scared for you to know me, but God you are not scared of me. You are not scared of anything that is found in me."
More than anything of late, my spirit has been crying out for God so much!! I desire the deep down intimacy that He longs for me to have with Him!!!
To know that my God is not scared of anything in me!! To know that He will never give up on me no matter how I may feel, how I may feel towards Him. God accepts me just as I am!! The pain of the shame the pain of unworthiness the pain of guilt, shall I go on? If we have a willing heart, He will pursue us.
Naturally, He does not want us to carry any of the pains of our past. Yes, those. The ones we are choosing to do now! That is why He wants us so much to trust Him and to give it all to Him. Not to be scared! After all He took it upon Himself all of our sins and pain, when he spread out his arms of love and was nailed on the cross.
Even though I have memorized Romans 8:1-3 . I need now to really apply it to my life!
Beautifully said from your heart to our ears. the words are much appreciated. God will supply all your needs. Keep on honoring him.
ReplyDeleteDear one:
ReplyDeleteA truthfully written post. How many times we forget that God is with us and undergo so many churnings and tosses. It requires God for us to face the mountain and say: "Mountain, you've got to move." I am so happy that I belong to him. thanks for the following. Happy to be part of the Holy Spirit inspired blog.
Much joy and peace,
Susan
