Child of God

Hi there (:

 

My name is Heather May Hope and this is meant to be a blog telling you about who I am. I’m a little bit at a loss of what to say, so please bear with me (:  I am a child of God, a woman who longs to be filled up and poured out for her King. I don’t have a college degree nor am I attending college, I’m not married nor headed in that direction, I don’t have a full-time job.. (I mention these things for the sake that some have told me that without them God cannot use me). But I have my King’s heart beating in my chest filling me with love and a desire to serve, manifesting in me His good will. Not because I am worthy of Him or He needs me, because I am nothing special. It is because my King wants me because He made me. He saw me and knew me before I ever was. He knows that I can do nothing but must rely on Him to even breathe. And it brings Him glory that without Him I am and have nothing, because I have made the choice to make Him my everything. A choice I must choose again and again everyday, and by His grace I will choose Him.

 

 Since He rescued me into His marvelous light, He has taken me through a realization, and an owning in a sense, of my sin. In reality, because He took the punishment for it, He owns it in a way I never will, but He also has put it to death. He has shown me that I have been forgiven of so very much! And He has therefore filled my heart that I may love much! And the World Race is such a blessing and opportunity for Him to use me and teach me to love and serve and sacrifice myself for Him and others. I am beyond amazed that He has called me to something so.. big. My heart cannot cease to give Him thanks and praise for His abundant grace and mercy poured out on my life. (:

 

Who I was before Him is a person trapped in sin and pride. Who I am is gratefully, undeservingly, and completely changed by the love of God into a child of God. Though the road ahead may be impossible, I serve the God who delights in overcoming impossibilities. And if my Lord is walking into a storm, the safest place is not for me to run in the opposite direction of the storm, but to remain under the shadow of His wing for He is my shelter, my comfort, my joy, my peace, my life. What lies ahead I do not know, but I know the One who does. And He goes before His children. May all who come to Him receive His peace, and taste and see that the Lord, indeed, the Lord is good!
