Learning the pursuit
God is teaching me is his pursuit for me. He just doesn’t just call me his because of the work I do, or to just simply use me, but because he wants me. He wants to proudly call me his daughter! He is showing me how to become dependent on him and have intimacy with him. He’s been teaching me a lot about the Holy Spirit, and how he’s my guide through life, and what true daughter-ship looks like. He’s showing me that nobody can fill that place in my heart as he can.
During this past week, he has been tearing down some deep lies I have believed for a while. He’s digging deep, in places I have never seen before. Which I call that heart surgery my friends. During our time here we have had much time to rest and have time with him. My expectations before going into this trip were 8 hour long days of manual labor, but it has not been like that. This place has a sweetness to it. From the rooms to the people, to the food. It’s just all so sweet and gives me so much joy. I know he is calling me into a season of rest in him. He is calling me to dig deeper, and to know my identity.
Here’s a bit out of the book I’m reading:
“My confidence is not in my ability to do but in his ability to choose. He didn’t choose me so I would fail. He didn’t choose me so I wouldn’t bear fruit. He chose me so that I’d bear fruit, a lot of fruit, fruit that lasts.”

Even if you do not feel like it, God wants to know you and is seeking after your heart. He loves you so deeply and cares for you. Simply ask him to show you how he views you. He doesn’t speak in condemnation or with hurtful words. He speaks gently, and you may be shocked at what he may say!
