So this weekend has been amazing. Saturday I went to a Christian Concert where I got to see Shonlock, Andy Cherry, Anthem Lights, Sanctus Real, Mandisa, and Jeremy Camp.There is just something incredible about worshipping with a lot of people all day long!
Then Sunday and Monday, I spent all day without my phone on, computer off, and simply enjoyed time with my Jesus. Date time. Just He and I. Read through Ruth, John, 1 John, and then parts of Hebrews, and then some other random verses. He spoke to me so much. WOW. Seriously I feel like a different person after these last couple days.
Some things I've learned…
I need to be more bold in my faith. I need to watch my words and not let doubt creep in. But stand firm on who He is, and who He says I am. He is my healer, protector, provider, love, comforter, friend, and He is ultimately all I need. He will show me what I need to work on, when I need to work on it. He will guide me, and direct me in all I do as long as I am constantly seeking Him first. I am His, beloved, worthy, gorgeous, healed, redeemed, and called.
He is constantly pursuing me and romancing me, I just need to open my eyes and see it. It's so amazing and beautiful. I don't know why I keep losing track of that. He is here, romancing His Beloved. All. the. time. He really does know the very depths of my heart and want to be in every single part of it. He wants to be involved in every little thing I do, and wants to be included in all my thoughts, words and deeds. He wants to be the center of every thing in my life, and I need to make sure He is at all times the focus the center.
I need to be more confident in the waiting. In waiting for support for the race, in waiting for my future husband, in waiting for anything. He hears the cries of my heart. He knows exactly what I need and when I need it. His timing is perfect. His plan is perfect. His ways are true and He is sovereign. He's got this!
I need to be more focused on my path, my journey, and what God is doing to me and through me. I sometimes get wrapped up in what is happening to others and what God is doing for them or through them that I become jealous. That's just silly. He is good. He is faithful. He has promised to complete a good work in me. He has called me to carry His love to others. He promises to give all the desires of my heart, and is working on my heart to align with what He wants. Walk confidently and boldly in that. He is here all the time working even when I don't see it or feel it. He is here. He wants me to know how much He loves and cherishes me and what He is doing in and through me. I just need to keep focused on Him and He will reveal that. Stop wanting what He is giving or doing to others. Jealousy is not of the Lord. He loves me just as much.
He's shown me soo much this weekend…even more than what I just wrote, but those are the biggest things. I have such a renewed spirit! Such a passion for wanting more of him. More date time. Until then, I will cherish my quiet times that I get with Him, be more bold, and keep my eyes pealed to all He is doing in my life.
