"Amy, do you really need someone else?"
So, just to fill you in a bit, so you have some context as to why the question was asked, I will share a bit more.
You see I was pouring out my heart to the Lord about (what I believed was) my need for someone to come along side me in my (ministry) life before I could fully blossom and flourish in the call He had for my life.
*(mind you this is not the first time I have had this conversation with the Lord -lol- none the less as always and ever so graciously with immense love, the Lord continued to converse with me as if it were the first time)
When I was done (whining) pouring out my heart to the Lord, He asked me the question,
"Amy, do you really need someone else?"
My answer? 😊
"No. Lord you know I don't." 💕 "You have become to me, all that I need." 💗
Then the Lord reminded me of a dream I had years ago,
However it was very powerful.
After I was reminded of that dream Holy Spirit began to bring to mind a wealth of scripture that lifted me up as I lay on my altar.
This first scripture is one of my favorites. I speak this one daily.
Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Yeshua Messiah and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,who loved me and gave himself for me."
Luke 9:23 "Then Yeshua was saying to everyone, “If anyone wants to follow Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross every day, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it."
John 12:24 "Amen, amen I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces much fruit."
John 3:30 "He must increase, while I must decrease.”
You see, (being transparent here) I am on the downhill side of my natural life. I have lived through a great deal (of horrific traumas) here on earth. I only have the good Lord to credit for my life. 👣 He has been with me every step of the way! He has turned every tragedy into a victory! Psalm 34:19
So here I am still and I am continually learning how to live a life of rejoicing in the grave!
Which is just another way of saying dying to ones self - in all things - every day - at all times - in every situation. - It's not always easy.
Because, well, I am still in this natural body.
That's when I so appreciate this beautiful scripture found in the Psalms 103:14
"For He knows our frame.
He remembers that we are but dust."
I suppose it's quite apropos that King David was one who wrote this Psalm for us. A Psalm of the attributes of our loving Heavenly Father. Our Creator.
I don't suppose King David had too many friends after Jonathon. However, you sure can tell just how much David knew and loved His Lord by his writings. 💖 💔 💕 💗 Through it all. The brokenness. The sin. The heartache. The loneliness. The repentance. The passion. The obedience. He was surely a man after God's own heart.
Oh dear Lord, help me too be all you have created me to be. To live a life worthy of the calling I have received in Yeshua Messiah. Through you Holy Spirit. For your Glory. Help me to rejoice daily in dying to myself as I live to serve others in your love...like you!
Give Me a Heart Like Yours!
