Lately I have been hearing from God and convicted of some things. I take little time to listen and He has been kind enough to speak to me in the small amount of time I have been giving Him. I hear, but then I don’t take the time to meditate on the scripture He gives to me. I don’t take time to pray about what He reveals. No real action takes place. No change can happen in my heart if I don’t allow Him to use what He has revealed.
Easter is almost here and I believe that Jesus is ready to reveal more of Himself to me and to all of you! I know I want to hear and I want to change. Am I willing to take the time to listen, meditate and obey so that He can move in and through me? Am I willing to lay down my desires, my wants, and my life so that He can be glorified? I am nothing without Him. He is my hope, my strength, my wisdom, and His love is poured out on me. On me?! I am not deserving of this love. Today I choose to be thankful - thankful for His selfless sacrifice on the cross - His compassion and love to us on full display and freely given.
“He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.” -1 Peter 2:22-25
A song comes to mind:
“So set a fire down in my soul
That I can’t contain and I can’t control
I want more of You, God
I want more of You, God
No place I would rather be
Than here in Your Love!
Here in Your Love!”
[Set a Fire by Will Reagan]
May we be transformed in His presence this Easter season! Holy Spirit come. Consume our hearts. Consume our minds. Overwhelm us with more of You!
In Him,
