Sometimes

Sometimes

I just sit here.
I don't know how much longer I can wait.
I am just so tired. I know I need to hold on tight to your promises.

Sometimes

I just sit here - with you.
I just sit here and think about what is going on in my life.
I get so tired. I can barely feel my heart beat.

Sometimes

I just sit here in my prayer chair. 
I think about all you have done for me in my lifetime.
I think about all you have promised to do in my life.

Sometimes

I sit here in my prayer chair 
I get so tired.  I can barley hear my heart beat.
But you are sitting here with me.

Amazed - astounded - by all you have done for me.
For everything and everyone in my life.

I am transformed

Fearfully overwhelmed.

Exploding from the inside out with a jubilent new life and a reverent spirit of thanksgiving. 
No louder than a holy whisper.

Sometimes

I just sit here......with you.... ♥

Do you need a breakthrough ?

If you 

Need to hear from God.

or

If you 

Need a breakthrough in your life.

or

If you 

Are dealing with anxiety or fear.

or

If you 

Need direction from the Lord

Or 

If you 

Need wisdom.

Get Faith

And

Let your faith move you to love

and

Let perfect love cast out all fear.

Allowing 

Holy Spirit full access to your life.

Fear has just as much power as faith does.

In the opposite spirit realm.

Faith releases Gods power, allowing God’s will to have legal access in our lives.

Fear releases Satan’s power, allowing Satan’s will to have legal access in our lives.

As we know it is impossible to please God without faith. 

Just the same, it is impossible to move God’s hand in answer to our prayers as well.

Likewise, on the other end of the spiritual spectrum, fear pleases Satan. 

Releasing Satan’s power and allowing him to move in our lives freely.

If there is any fear at all then God is not pleased and the enemy is and has permission to move in our lives in a given situation.

Just something to think about.

WHY is it SO HARD for US ?

Jesus commanded us

"To love One another."

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

John 13:34-35 

Why is it so hard for us to love one another ?

I wrote a whole blog on this 10 years ago.

I won't go into all that right now.

I truly believe the answer is quite simple. 

We don't know what love is.

Oh there's talk of loving everyone, always, everywhere, under every circumstance, all the time. 

But is that what love is?

Here is what I believe is the true definition of love. 

It is found in the first book of Corinthians chapter 13, of the Holy  scriptures. 

"Love is patient and kind, not jealous, not boastful, not proud, rude or selfish, not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not gloat over Love is patient and kind, not jealous, not boastful, not proud, rude or selfish,  not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love drusts, always hopes, always endures.

Love never ends. over other people’s sins but takes its delight in the truth. Love always bears up, always trusts, always hopes, always endures.

Love never ends."

So this is my prayer. That we would all learn love to one another. Truly love one another.

For myself I pray the prayer below every day.

❤️

A Heart Like Yours

I want a heart like yours Lord.

No other heart will do.

I need a heart like yours, Lord.

If I’m to love like you.

I want to love them like you love me.

You’re always gentle and kind.

Never boastful, proud or rude,

I want to love them like you.

You never look out for yourself Lord.

You’re always looking out for me.

You don’t keep tabs on every thing I do wrong.

You never anger easily.

I want a heart like yours Lord.

No other heart will do.

I need a heart like yours, Lord.

If I’m to love to love like you.

I want to love them like you love me.

Always being my best friend.

Never delighting when evil comes my way.

But rejoicing in the truth instead.

I want to love them like you love me.

You’ve never failed me yet.

You’re always there to protect me Lord.

Ever trusting; in me your hope is set.

.

I want to love them like you love me.

I want to touch them like you touch me.

I want to show them that your love is real.

I want a heart like yours, Lord.

I need a heart like yours.

Give me a heart like yours.

A heart like yours.

(1Cor. 13:4-8)

On Earth as it is In Heaven

Sometimes these words Jesus taught us to pray, are a lot easier spoken out  than patiently waited out.

We don't always know what God's will is in every given situation. 

Sometimes we do.

When we do we may not know His timing. 

Below is a little something I wrote a few years back when I was struggling with that very subject. 

I say that like I don't struggle with that anymore.

Ha!

Not true. 

It's not that I have completely overcome this issue. 

Just that it is becoming easier for me to be patient with He who has given me his promises.

It’s hard sometimes to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.

We see our world in limited view, knowing our need; at least we think we do.

We do our best to live obediently, without complaint, expediently.

Not comparing ourselves to one another, not being jealous of sister or brother.

Somehow, some way, hard as we try, we just can’t help but wonder why;

God seems to have overlooked our need, and still has neglected to water our seed.

As hard as it is to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.

Let us remember his motive is pure love, He looks over us all, from his throne above.

His vision encompasses our entire life, from beginning to end, every joy; every strife.

He knows the plans he has for us, they are good not evil, in this we must trust.

Knowing down deep within our hearts, through all the tears and false starts;

God’s Word is ever and always true; HE will always see his promises through.

If we fully delight ourselves in Him, not just in part, he will give us the desires of our heart.
