Is Thanksgiving really almost here? It has happened so unexpected.............the leaves falling from the trees all changed.....Life continues to be a gift but I can't seem to escape from the "self."
It's my exaggerated sense of self that keeps me putting my schedule ahead of the King.
But remaining empty and craving fullness.
I am starving my very own soul from the eternal food...........it's where the darkness and disobedience go hand and hand. Who am I really I scream? Me the wretched woman and mama.............who is the want a be Christian. With my hand held out being a taker always the taker........and then it's grace that whispers.......come, take..........receive GRACE...........from the one where atonement comes. Our blessings are secure in Him.................He is faithful even when we are faithless.
Jesus is the road less traveled where you will find His mercy and truth meeting together.
Righteousness and peace are entwined together and upon all of that sits: "The Throne of Grace."
Our God gave up His throne to put on skin...............skin like ours.......he became human........to walk humble............but HOW do I follow in His footsteps.............humble? Me who claims to know my God!
Why do I make an effort to avoid people who hurt and not make an effort to love those who hurt me?
PRIDE............seems to rear it's ugly head over and over again. I am no better than a Pharisee!
It's a daily battle............and it's my very own SOUL that's at stake.
And if it's me that claims to know God better than others..........then it's me that is feeling like I am the better............and that's not God at all that I am following!
Praying for the living waters to flow through me..........But how? Sometimes I want to give up........surrender from the life of Faith. It seems like "pipe dreams," impossible to reach.
The road less traveled gets steeper and steeper winding you deeper and deeper until you feel you just can't go on............and just when you think you can't make it another step.............. the glory of the resurrection descends upon you and the false sense of self begins to fade. It's the revelation of who God really is that starts to surface. It happens when I stop holding out my hand for the taking and start
following......... in His humble footsteps.
So how do I walk before him blameless?...............Surrender...................giving up and allowing Almighty God Incarnate to work in us and through us.
Our human relationships are the very conditions in which the glory of God should be exhibited!
Love more...........Forgive more..........walk balmelessly before the Lord.
Genesis 17:1-2 “Walk Before Me, And Be Blameless”
