Amazing Idea Nadine!

I often loose perspective on life. One evening two weeks ago I had a huge realization that I was doing that again! I was having a tough day. To make a long story short I felt broken and frustrated for not living obedient to Him. He then brought me to Rev 3:14-22 which turned into one of the best nights of my life and I wasn’t with anyone the entire evening but Holy Spirit!

(Please stop and take a bunch of time and meditate on that (or any scripture really) right now and let him speak to you about it, I’d far rather have you do that than read the rest of this and you DO have time cause you are reading this :) )

          What He gave me was a huge reminder of my total dependance on Him. SO often I forget my TOTAL need of Him. Or I’ll loose my desire to meditate on the Word. That is a such a HUGE problem, this is a far worse problem than if I was to find out that I have cancer! If that was to happen people would come to the hospital, visit me, encourage me, pray for me, but being chill about reading His word is so much worse! How often are we not in this rut of thinking that the best life we can have is if we go after all the things we (think we) want and seek after Him a mid to moderate amount! To forget my utter dependance on Him or to be lacking in desire to know His Word is awful, I am toast without it. I can’t do ANYTHING good on my own, I fall into temptation in the snap of a finger on my own, I can’t love ANYONE on my own, I can’t even help anyone on my own, and nothing or nobody will EVER com close to satisfying me like He does. You think I’m crazy but this is true. I need, I need, I need Jesus! 

          Since then these last two weeks I’ve started to seek him a little harder. I’ve been waking up early enough to spend at least 2 hours alone with Him each day, listening to him, meditating on Him and His Word and worshiping Him, pleading for help, asking to never forget how week I am so that I might rely on Him. I don’t say this to make myself look good, rather, the opposite, I'm saying that I’m a mess, I don’t know who I am, I can’t do squat on my own, I feel like garbage on my own, nobody will ever come to Jesus because of me. But HE, HE gives life, HE tells me the truth of who I am, HIS grace is made perfect in my weakness, HE tells me that He loves me with all of the love the God of Love can muster, HE sends His Spirit to shine to others around me. Let us seek our God, who Loves us far more than we know, as hard as we physically can to Love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. 

Listen to this lights out Jam! 

You guys are HUUUUUUUUGE gems! I pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him,

By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), And so that you can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. (That's in Ephesians 1 and I'm prayin that for you guys today!)
