Fall in love...

"It’s in your moment of raw honesty that Jesus rolls up his sleeves and begins to restore you by his grace.  I know that sounds like a churchy thing to say, but God totally understands your struggle.  You can come to him in any condition.  He loves you in your slobbery, ugly, vulnerable, flailing mess.  He welcomes your doubts, frustrations, questions, and confusion.  His mind is already made up about you on the cross. It’s in your exposed humanity that God’s grace really works, and it won’t work any other way.  You don’t have to hide." -J.S.Spark

July 2013. I wait. I stand and face the uncertainty that is rushing towards me.Days are flying by and I wait for answers.I have a thousand promises from God in the passive part of my mind.Yet,what is tangible seems more real than all the promises I cannot see.And there I stand and ask myself..What is really the purpose of my life?Why am I here?Whats my role?In expectation that I will see dramatic changes and miracles,I run to God.But I hear Him seal it on my heart..that He is enough.He is the Great "I AM". So I'm encouraged ever so slightly to keep moving.to not give up.Even when so many other voices and faces tell me to stop this struggle,I have a promise from Him.My heart fails me,but His unfailing voice tells me to hold on.Have seen enough to simply believe Him?Yes.I have.  I realize now that waiting is not a passive action.Its active.Its where all the pruning happens.Its where all the movement of God's Kingdom happens,underneath the surface.Where,the Potte...

What a friend we have in Jesus.. I have heard this song so many times.. Yeah,I know.. so have you..? Do you have those times in life when you are everything comes down to nothing? I do.a lot many times.Sometimes,the same issue arises over and over again. It may be unforgiveness,sin,hardships,worries of life,hatred,guilt,regrets..etc..getting back at you over and over again... We want the world to revolve around us.We want to control everything that happens around us and to us.In my case,to control what happens in other people's lives too..!We just wish we could plan everything.Then,we hold on to God and try getting Him to work things our way.If that does not work,we sob,we lay around,we get depressed,lose hope or react in anger. When things fall under the category of the 'previously-experienced',or under the "I-know-what-must-be-done",or"been there,done that"..it makes us feel falsely secure.And when we feel that way,we talk to God with all the...

 Psalms 40  1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.  2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.  3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.  Wait on Him,He is a God who responds to a weary heart.  You will never be astray.You will never be alone.  Compassionate beyond degrees our minds can conceive.  He will hear words you never say. He hears words you mutter in silence and darkness.  He will lift you out of the slimy pit.  It may be dirty,slimy,slippery and muddy.  But He will lift you up with His  mighty hand.  Because Only He can.  He will not just lift you up.  He will set your feet on a firm rock.  He Himself is the strongest Rock.  He places you within Himself ...
