This morning as I read these words, I could feel my heart softening… my shoulders lowering..
The almighty hand of God covering me… gently holding me near…
Covering my fears and my shame…
Reminding me everything’s going to be alright…
“I know all the things that you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can shut.
You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me….
Revelation 3:8
How lovely it is to enter Your gates…
How holy You are, yet You choose to come so near…
It almost takes my breath away…
“Surely goodness and love shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever…”
Psalm 23:6
Heavenly Father, please hear this cry of my heart; as I carry these words of Psalm 131 to Your alter…
Please forgive me where I fail…
Please fill my with Your grace…
“Lord, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not concern myself with matters too great or awesome for me..
But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with his mother..
Yes, like a small child is my soul within me…
Psalm 131:1-2
Bringing all that I am,
and all that I am not…
Changed by Your grace and filled with Your heart….
How I thank You for saving my life from the pit of darkness and disaster…
You have chosen me and have not let go..
“I took you from the ends of the earth, from the farthest corners I have called you. I said, you are my servant. I have chosen You and I have not rejected you.
So do not fear for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and I will help you.
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand…”
Isaiah 41:9-10
May all that I am be a reflection of all that You have done…
Friend how I pray you will rest deeply in these promises….
God sees You…
He knows You…
And He adores You…
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Live in Love,
Lisa
