I'll admit the last couple of weeks haven't been the easiest. I knew there was a battle I couldn't see going on....but it was wearing me down and in return I was fighting in the natural. So many times the enemy uses things in the natural (the seen) to distract us from things in the spiritual (the unseen). The enemy recognizes the threat we are more than we do at times. So needless to say I was carrying a few bags of my own "mess" last week. They were starting to get heavy...I knew that and God knew that I knew that. He had done His part by revealing what to do...my part was the release. God doesn't ask you to release something just for the fun of it. He's got a plan for that release and there is a power He is looking to send your way, but you can't hold on to what He has planned and all that you have planned. God is the author not the co-author of your story. He's not looking for you to edit, He's looking for you to read as He types the words.
God knows what we need before we even know to ask for it. He knows our hearts and He knows what will truly satisfy us.....the things of Him are the only thing that are going to fill that void. God knows how to get our attention and how to push us to what He has planned for us. Peter had to take the first step when Jesus told Him to come to Him on the water. He had to take the first step in order to get closer to the One who had called him to Him. What step is He calling you to take? What mess is He telling you to leave with Him? It's going to stay a mess as long as it's in your hands (just saying..) What words do you need to change to line up with what God says to speak? (yeah that was an ouch for me).
This would become a really long post if I were to recount everything God has spoke and done this past week...He's been more than faithful and enough for this Jesus Girl. The turn around that happened at the end of the last week still has me smiling. God is a redeemer of time and a restorer of all things broken and messed up. Hear my heart....if He's saying take the step as silly as it seems..take it. That step may lead you to the answer to the prayer you've been asking Him for. That step may be the location for the release you've been asking Him to make happen. In His presence is the fullness of joy...and it's hard to hold on to your mess with arms raised in surrender praising the One who made you. God's been more than faithful and I'm humbled and in awe of how He continues to speak into this heart of mine...His words and truth are louder than the enemy and longs to whisper to His sweet children.
This Jesus Girl experienced a new level of freedom to start last weekend and I haven't gotten over it since. He's done a turn around and I will keep giving Him praise....
I don't know your heart right now, but God does. He's faithful to keep pulling you back to your First Love sweet Child of His...He loves you that much. He loves you so much He wants all of you...not what you consider all, but what He knows to be all. Listen to the nudging on your heart...and take the step...Your breakthrough, your turn around...is one step away.
