I needed to be reminded today....

One of my good blog friends over at Ordinary Christian wrote these words today....

"When God chooses you and brings you to a new point, when He has chosen to define you in such a way that is pleasing to Him, don’t turn back and look at yourself in any other way again.

You are His workmanship. He sees us as we really are, pure and blameless in the Beloved."

So touched by this today....read the entire post here.....

The Secret

Now I believe in the power of the tongue ...but this is hilarious! :)

Walking by faith

I had a revelation last night while brushing my teeth...:)
I heard the Lord clearly say "this walk is by faith and not by sight" and I said "yeah, yeah, I know that".... and He said

"its not sight of the future or your circumstances that I am talking about...
its the sight of ME....
without sight of Me...that is what walking by faith really is all about."

I don't think I like walking by faith very much.....you know???
Its a scary place to be in when you don't see the Lord very much in
anything.....no sight, no feeling, no nothing...not negative emotions, not doubt...just nothing....its a very scary place ... its not the mountain, its not the valley, its not even darkness which can be so palpable at times...its simply nothing....did I say that enough??
but somehow my spirit knows He is there...I think its called blind faith....
faith tells my spirit so..faith says that He is because He said He would never
leave...He said He was with us and in us... faith has a history that testifies to His steadfastness and reinforces it in my spirit... even in a vacuum such as this my spirit knows who has given it life.....even so...now I understand where the Psalmist was coming from when
he said..."though I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead)...You are
there" Even when I feel dead and nothing seems to make an impression....He is there....faith says it is so....
a good friend of mine reminded me that there is no expectation of aloneness in Him, yet in the world you were always alone...it was normal...therefore walking with Him can be most unexpected and unexpectedly difficult....
loving Him, believing Him...even in seasons of nothingness....that is faith.
Wow, faith is much harder than I thought...thank goodness I live by His faith and not by my own!
