I like your heart, 2/13/11

On Saturday nights, we meet in Arlington for a "house" bible study. And though I totally look forward for the day that I am with the masses, I thoroughly enjoy "house" bible studies. They are so relaxed and intimate. The pastor doesn't feel far away. I like that. And a lot of the people feel like family. Which I love.

(Since this is my blog, I can say whatever I want, and I really want to say this before I go on!)
I want to say that I just love my pastor (and his family). I am so thankful for him. I can't express in words to the Lord, how grateful I am that He led me to him. I adore his heart and hunger. I love his passion for the Lord. It's like a fanning to my flame. I fall in love with the revelation that he releases EVERY time. He brings the Lord to me time and time again in such a beautiful way. So I just want to say that I feel really blessed to have him over me. He has been a pastor to me, a friend and a big brother (his wife too!! and I absolutely love their children.) He has truly been a shepherd. And I say this because (1) This is "I like your heart" series. (2) I am about to write about a word released by him ast night, so I wanted to paint a picture of my relationship with him. He's great. The Lord is making him great. You know when Paul says "follow me as I follow Christ."? I get it. Because I love the Lord in Him. I love the spiritual fruit that I see. I love his heart that I know it's more and more the Lords. And I want that for myself. Not exact. We all have different anointings and giftings. But it's the hunger and passion and love. The confidence in his relationship with the Lord.

And I just want to say to all of you, that if you don't see fruit in your pastors life...if your pastor, man or woman, doesn't set you on fire for the Lord, by the revelation he releases, you should really rethink the system you are in. The word of God awakens. It opens your eyes and ears to Jesus Christ. And begins to transform you into His bride. Who starts to look like Him more and more as a relationship grows. It shouldn't be dead. At all. The Holy Spirit is alive. And if He is in your pastor and your pastor is in submission to the Holy Spirit and not his own mind, there should be a change happening within you. And then you should be beginning to develop a relationship with the Lord in your life everyday. It doesn't just stay at "church". It's your life. I'm just saying that because I want everyone to experience Jesus in a greater way. I really do.

Last night Pastor Wayland, released a word on the New Testament vs. The Old Testament. He wasn't AT ALL saying that the Old Testament is done away with. But that the New Testament reveals what the Old Testament was always meant to be. He got into 2 Cor 3. Talking about how their was/is a veil over the Old Testament. And with that veil on, the Israelites took what the Lord was trying to reveal to them literally. For instance....building a tabernacle for the Lord to dwell in. They missed it. Because what the Lord was trying to show them was, that they were to be the tabernacle that He dwelt in. But they built a natural tabernacle. Which I don't know if that was necessarily wrong. But that's where they stopped. They didn't see a picture of themselves. Also in 2 cor 3 Paul was revealing that WE are supposed to be The Book written on. Our hearts are supposed to be written on by the Holy Spirit. Others are supposed to see Jesus Christ written on our hearts. We are supposed to be "the message". The Bible was never meant to be something we just read. Or something we just get "knowledge" out of. It was never meant to be just words. Or something that sits on the shelf. That we pick up sometimes when we feel like. It was always supposed to be JESUS. The revelation of who He is. It's supposed to be alive. It was supposed to be written on people. So now we have to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the veils off of our minds, our eyes and ears. We have to allow the Holy Spirit to undress Jesus to us. And allow the revelation of what the Holy Spirit reveals to be written on our hearts. Not just knowledge in our minds. But experiencing who He is. In our lives. The Lord was trying to reveal Jesus to them, then. But they missed it. He doesn't want us to miss it anymore. He doesn't want us to go on without Him. He doesn't want to be on pages anymore. He wants to be in our hearts. He wants every false image of Himself to perish. Because that leads people to spiritual death. And natural destruction. And just because you might feel "ok" in your life right now, do you think that's all that God has for you? Not just naturally, but spiritually. A satisfaction for your soul that will go on into eternity. And just because you might feel "ok", there is ugly darkness all over the world, that the Lord doesn't desire to be here. Rape, molestation. Slavery. Suicide. Depression. Oppression. Stress that leads to physical illness. CANCER. Children being tortured and abused. Orphans. People ALL OVER feeling unloved and unwanted. Woman being taken, drugged and the sold for sex. That's NOT His desire. He wants to turn things back around from the first Adam. It's time for the second Adam. Not a fallen mankind. But a resurrected mankind. We have to wonder what we are ruled by. What moves us. What's in our minds and hearts? And the thing is, He wants to be that. Because the world looks like what rules us as mankind. He wants us to be His throne. I can't even fathom His desire for us. I can't at all. I want to! Because if I can understand that more and feel it, I know I will desire others more. I will want them as if He does. And it will drive me. To allow Him to rule in me. To write on me. And I can live showing people who Jesus really is. Giving them Life. Bringing them to safety. Loving them. Really, really loving them. Compassion for their souls. Our arms, His.

Because seriously? How can we just sit back being "ok" when others aren't. How is that even right? Don't we want to give? Don't we want to do something about it? We can!!! We can give ourselves to Jesus. Yehovah is Yasha (to be open, wide or free. To be safe. Free or Succor. Deliver. Help. Preserve. Rescue. Salvation. Save (-iour). Get victory. To be liberated. To save from moral troubles.) And we can work with Him. We can't do it on our own. And we need Him where we're not really "ok". And where we are confused. Or unsure. Or stuck. Where we feel like we just can't do "it". Whatever "it" may be. It's ok. Of course we can't do "it". That's where He comes in. That's where we say...I give up! I need You!! We can allow Him to Love on us. And breathe His Life in us. We can allow Him to put His salve on our wounds. To heal us and restore us. To help us forgive. To soften our hearts where they are rock hard. We can allow Him to shatter all we think that isn't His reality. So we can see Him clearly and know Him like we know our best friends. And bring that into the world. So darkness can be defeated. It's possible and it's gonna happen. It has happened, it is happening and going to happen in a greater way. He ended with this. "Jesus didn't die for us to go to Heaven, but for Heaven to come to Earth."

I was thinkin one day at nap time..."every day these kids can experience the Lord through me." I want that! They deserve that. They need that. Ya know? But it's not just kids that need it. God knows, I need it...

I promise you this isn't to any, one.
It's just my heart.
It's not all of his message from last night. But it's pieces of it along with my heart.

It's a cruel world. Even though sometimes we don't like to acknowledge it. And anything can happen at any given moment. It's a scary thought. But not so scary with Him. Not so scary with Faith. The evidence and substance of Him in your life.

Let the Bride of Christ arise.
And show the world Light and Love.

Amen.

Blow the roof off!

My own food for thought. 2/6/11. Blow the roof off!

This is something I was thinking of yesterday when I was laying in bed...

Sometimes people don't turn to Jesus or haven't turned to Jesus because they don't realize that He is alive. Maybe alls they have ever known is a dead Jesus that just sits on the cross that hangs on the wall. Or all He is, is a gospel. A story. That just sits on paper. People don't know He is power. That He isn't some weak, watered down care bear sissy. (I like the carebears. Just trying to make a comparison here.) They don't know that He's the very first superhero that there ever was. Greater and cooler than Superman, Spiderman, The Hulk, Ironman, and all the other superheros we know and love. All of which aren't real. But we love how strong they are and how they always defeat the bad guys. Saving people. And we don't realize that Jesus is much more than that. And He is still alive. More so then when He walked the earth. Some may ask, well then where is He? That's a good question. I think when we are ready to lay down our idea of who He is or who we always thought He was, He can begin to show us who He really is. He is the image of God. God of the Universe. The most powerful being that exists. He wants to perform miracles and signs and wonders. And above all, take us to the Father. And come inside us and transform us from the inside out. It's hard to believe. I know. Because where do we see that happening? I'm here to tell you, it is. Sometimes, we have to step out of our comfort zones. Out of our mundane lives. And look. It's the enemy's desire to keep us from Him. So he will make ceilings look real swell. Or paint a picture of Jesus that is either dead or unreachable. But that's not the truth at all. 

You're probably in a room right now. Look up. There's a ceiling. And that is the limitation that we put on happiness. We settle in a place without Jesus because we think that's all there is. Because it's really all we know. We don't know what a life with Jesus is like so we aren't in hot pursuit for it. We only know the happiness that comes from the world. And we sit down and get comfortable in it. It's satisfying to us. Only because we don't know there's more. I'm not saying that certain things on this earth can't make us happy. I'm saying apart from Jesus there is a limitation. He wants us to be happy. But what He wants more, is to be a part of it. He wants to "blow the roof off" and show us what it's like living under the sky. Where there is no limit. A greater happiness and fulfilling. Somewhere deep in us longs for happiness. It's places of void. And it is His desire for us to give Him a chance. So He can come into those places and reside. It's His desire to be a lamp at our feet. Leading us into the very best destiny. Why? Because He is some tyrant that demands us to listen to Him "or else". NO!!! No! No! No! It's because He is the peak of goodness. His plan for our lives is The Best. Because He Loves us more than anyone or anything loves us. And He wants what is best for us. And reuniting with our Father that Loves us with an unconditional Love is the best place for us. He wants us safe. He wants the earth to be taken over by Light and Love and True Life. He wants goodness for us. He wants to come in and break chains that hold us down and hold us back. He wants to free us from hurts, corruption, torment, sickness, oppression and depression. Our minds and hearts have chains on them. We settle. And we don't have to. We have so much in us that He wants to awaken with His Spirit. So we can fly. We were made to fly. We don't have to stay on the ground. Or stay in a room with a roof over our head. He wants to merge with us. He wants to dance with us. Moving together. And He wants us to teach others how to fly. He wants us to help others blow their roof off. As we dance with Him, we can do that. So with writing this, I just pray and desire so much that our roofs would be blown off and that we would know what it's like to fly. An eyeopener. Seeing Jesus and who He really is and can be in our lives. A taste. Of what it feels like to merge. I pray for a fanning. Of the fire within us. Even coals that are still hot and red, but there's no flame. Fan it! Ignite the fire! Passion for Jesus! Passion to dance! And fly! And to teach others. Because what is having happiness if others can't? Who wants to hog Jesus to themselves? Then you've missed the point! BLOW THE ROOF OFF LORD! Let it be so! AMEN!

Let me end with this. Transparency. There's places where I need Him badly. Places that are void. Still areas where I wanna see Him in a greater way. I want to see much more of the manifestation of who He really is. I want His happiness. I want my roof blown off. I want what's real. I wanna dance. I want  to follow a path that leads me to more. I still settle too. All because I haven't reached Him yet. But I know as we do reach Him more and more....people will start to see the real Jesus more and more. And they'll know. That flying isn't impossible. And they'll want their roofs blown off. We wonder why people aren't turning to the Lord. Well let's do it ourselves and show them what flying looks like. Then we'll see more people turn.

Here's to flying...

I like your heart, 2/5/11

"I like your heart: Food for thought, 2/5/11:

Bill Johnson has a facebook page. And sometimes I'll go check out what he is saying. He definitely is no man pleaser. But I love that about him. Because the reason he isn't a man pleaser isn't because he doesn't Love man. It's because he loves Jesus so much and desires so badly to see man step into their destiny in God.

There are some that I really liked a lot and hit me good on the inside.

"When we submit the things of God to the mind of man, unbelief and religion are the results. When we submit the mind of man to the things of God, we end up with a renewed mind that enhances a life of faith. The mind makes a wonderful servant, but a terrible master."

 

"During revival, hell is plundered and heaven is populated. Without revival, hell is populated...period."

 

"While God will never contradict His word, He often contradicts our understanding of His word."

 

 "Anything you think you know about about God, that you can't find in the person of Jesus, you have reason to question."

 

"Revelation from scripture must take us to an encounter with God or it will only serve to make us more religious."

 

 "It's difficult to get the same fruit as the early church when we value a book they didn't have more than the Holy Spirit they did have."

 

"Complaining is to the devil what praise is to God."

 

 "When we pursue kingdom principles above His presence we are seeking a kingdom without a king."

I found her in prison...

I wanna know me. I wanna go deeper. Beyond layers. Beyond fear. I really wanna get my hands in the dirt. I want to face the good and the bad in a greater way. I want to calm the outside of me for a time and really listen to the inside. I wanna put my ear on my own chest. I wanna know why she loves, why she fears, why she holds on, why she lets go. I wanna know why she fights and why she surrenders. I wanna know why that's easy and why that's hard. Not an introvert. Not an analytic. But some kind of explorer. Not looking out of panic. "Where is it??!!!" Just a longing to go deeper. To break the surface. A calling from within. Whispering to me....telling me there's more. It's so loud up here. It's so busy. There's a line I'm trying to find. Between suppression and not allowing certain things to invade my mind. But I know if I can quiet the loudness and calm the business, I'll find the line. Maybe I'll even draw it. I just want to know. I just want to face her. And love her better. Even when she is unlovable. Even when I find things down there in the depths that I don't like. I want to learn how to be more gentle. I've been so hard on her. She might even have more scars from me then she does from others. Maybe I need to repent for how I've treated her all this time. Someone that God Loves so much. And she knows it. But when will she begin to accept it. Maybe when I begin to stop abusing her with my thoughts. With condemnation. With false humiliation. With pressure to be perfect faster than she is capable of. How can she get up without the acceptance of His Love. How can she accept it when condemnation is beating on her. And false humiliation taunts her. Who is actually pride in disguise. How can she be "perfect" which is really "mature" without His Love? What has this turned into? A reality. That she is behind bars. And she wants to come out of prison. Didn't you know? That I put her there. That I punish her. I guess we are going deeper aren't we? I know where to start. I laid my ear on my chest. And I heard her. She wants out of prison. And I am the only one with the keys. Things will start to change as I start to change the way I treat her. As I go down with the keys and release her. She needs my love. I need to learn how to give it to her. This isn't selfish. Because how can one even begin to love others and treat others well if they don't even love themselves? So if I love others, I'll start to love me. Hard truth. But it's time to be raw.

Yours truly,
MLB

My heart on Christmas...

I started writing this last week, and it has been on my heart to put out there since probably the beginning of December.

(I deleted a few younger children off my facebook page for the time being. I know it's up to their parents to let them hear and read something like this. I respect the whole parent/guardian thing. And for the record, I've never told any children in my class, or any children at all, that Santa isn't real. I know that isn't my job/position.)


I don't usually parade around with clashing cymbals and big signs, making a big spectacle about how I don't celebrate Christmas and why. But I don't celebrate it and I never will again. And if you ask me why I don't, I will be more than happy to tell you. Personally, I think it is much, much more important to just show people the Love of Christ and through sharing Him with people, they can begin to decide if they want to celebrate Christmas still or not based off how they feel and their heart. It's a choice. Is not celebrating Christmas going to save someone? No! Coming into a true relationship with Jesus and the Father will breathe spiritual life into a soul. What if you don't celebrate Christmas because of the "knowledge" and background someone gives you about it, but you still don't KNOW Jesus. And what a beautiful, power, living Savior He is and can be for your soul. What if you only know Him as words. Or a guy that died on the cross for our sins, but you really don't even understand it or what it means for you and your life. What if He isn't alive in your life? Like truly alive...you just know of Him. But you don't celebrate Christmas because someone told you it's wrong and it's not really Christ's birthday and all the things attached to it are pagan and evil. I think if you start with the relationship part...every thing else will fall into place. The Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you to His plan for your life. And you will begin to do things out of that. The relationship is THE MOST important part. When you begin to truly allow The Holy Spirit into your life and your heart ("I wanna KNOW you intimately Lord! I want you to lead and guide my Life! Because I know with you, I am safe! I know your way will lead me to Life and Love!") and you actually surrender to Him, He will begin to move upon your inner most being like never before and you will never be the same. Then through the unveiling of who He is...the real, raw, true and living God....you can make decisions based off of that.

Before I go any further...I don't want any one to comment on this blog. This is for me to share why I don't celebrate Christmas. Not for there to be some big debate under it between those who celebrate it and those that don't. That's not why I am writing this. To prove a point. Or for anyone else to try and prove a point. I'm just sharing my heart and giving a greater understanding of why I don't, mostly to those that don't understand why I don't and probably think I am coo coo for not because they don't understand. I've expressed to others before why I don't..but it's really in my heart now and I think I can paint a better, clearer picture.

I want to make it clear that I don't Love my family any less for not taking part in Christmas anymore. This has everything to do with my relationship with Jesus. One of the hardest parts of making this change in my life was my family. My family is extremely precious to me and so very near and dear to my heart. ALWAYS. No matter where I am, no matter what it may "seem" like. I love my family deeply and it's a HUGE sacrifice for me to live away from them and not be physically able to be in the mix with them on a regular basis.

I want to begin with a true story. I have to change the name of the woman for professional reasons, being that I am going to mention her work place.
Sarah works at non-christian preschool. However, all the children in her class are Christian. One day, one of the parents gave her a Veggie Tales CD and a Jesus Lullabies CD. The parent had been cleaning out some things at the house and just decided to donate them. Sarah and the parent have become pretty close and talk about the Lord together often. It didn't really seem like anything when she handed the CDs to Sarah.

One day, Sarah's class was in their centers. Some building blocks, some making art, some putting puzzles together. It was really calm. It's not always really calm. So, Sarah decided to put the Jesus lullabies CD on and turn it fairly low. The CD was mostly instrumental anyway. It added to the calmness and peaceful atmosphere the students and Sarah were sharing together.

The next day, as soon as Sarah walked through the doors at work, her boss (the director) met her. With the Jesus lullabies CD. She told Sarah she was not allowed to play music like that. And one of her reasons was, that not every one is the same religion.

Before I go on, I just want to say that I know the director was just trying to do her job. As the director of a "non-christian pre-school".

However...this is what gets me!! You can't play a Jesus lullabies CD at the pre-school, but you can celebrate Christmas?? Isn't that supposed to be in honor of JESUS' "birthday"?? And you bring Easter in too. Which is supposedly about the death and resurrection of JESUS. All the while NOT bringing in any other "holidays" or traditions from any other religions (some schools do, but not all. especially in this particular case). It doesn't make sense.

Oh but it does. Because not one time, is the name of Jesus mentioned in the school. But Santa is! And Rudolf and Frosty. Who are all fake! "We do it for the kids". That gets me too. Because who can save your kid and be a refuge to your kid and protect your kid and heal your kid and lead and guide your kid to goodness and Life and Love? Certainly NOT Santa. Santa is alive to these kids, and Jesus is not.

They know of Him, but they don't know of the power and ability He posses. They know of Him as History and Future but not as the present. Not who He really is and who He can be to even a child, the most impressionable little thing in the world. That could be raised up to be a mighty man or woman of God, the greatest Lover of all. Even as a child...manifesting Light and goodness to others. Touching their hearts. Because even at an early age, they are learning about Jesus and He is alive in their lives.

Instead we give them Santa. We lie to them. Is that what Jesus teaches? To lie? To make something up that isn't real and deceive children? To take all the attention off of Jesus and what's real. I'm sorry, but that just hurts my heart and grieves me on the inside. All through December the kids make Santas and Reindeer and Stockings and Wreaths and Christmas Trees. Teachers and parents lying to them, saying "Santa is watching, you better be good." Or "if you don't be good, Santa isn't going to come." I can't tell you how many times I've heard that, this year alone. It's such deception for their little minds.

Don't children deserve better than that? Don't they deserve the truth? Realness. Don't we want people to be real and truthful to us 24/7? We don't realize how precious and innocent and sponge-like children are. You want to give Children gifts? You want to make them feel special? I'm ALL about that!! I'm not about Santa and Christmas. I'm not about making someone up to bring them these gifts. How much more special do you think it would be for them if all those gifts were given to them from their parents!!?? Or real people. Santa isn't real. Santa can't Love them. But they can sense and feel Love when it's coming from someone real in their life. Someone that means something to them. Someone they NEED Love from.

And don't they deserve Jesus instead? You think it's hard for a child to comprehend that something that is invisible is real. But if you open up Jesus into their lives, you would be surprised how a child can experience Him and Him become more real then you ever thought possible. I witness it every day. Children don't have as much corruption in them as adults. They don't have as much blocking them from the Spiritual realm. All that world weighing down on them. Worrying and thinking all day long. Children are just being. Floating around, being. And it's so easy for Jesus to come into their lives and walk with them every day. Becoming more and more real and tangible. So real that the child could teach us a thing or two.

Ya know...I'm not saying that NO ONE makes Christmas about Jesus. I know there are people's hearts that are really for Him this time of year. But we can't deny the fact that it's defiled. It's not sacred. It's mixed with some evil and pagan backgrounds. It's really the birthday of several god's. Evil gods. Here's just one website where you can read about it. (http://www.religioustolerance.org/xmas_sel.htm) We think evil doesn't exist? We want to turn our heads away from it and pretend that it isn't there? Look around? God doesn't go into a person and make them murder another. He doesn't cause rape or abuse or hurt or division in families. He doesn't create things to distract us from Him. He doesn't lie to us and torment us about ourselves. Causing low-self esteem, depression, insecurity, anorexia, bulimia. He doesn't want us to compare ourselves to others and compete. Or how bout suicide? What gets in a persons mind and drives them to that point? Certainly not God. Certainly not goodness. If we think for a second, there isn't evil AND there isn't doors we can open for evil to come into our lives, we are very, very wrong. That's why we need Jesus. He is the only one that will not lead us into destruction. You really gotta see the oppression the enemy puts on one's life to want to cry out for something that can save that person. Can you save them? Nope. But Jesus in you and through you can help a person. Evil can be defeated. So let's not put too big of an emphasis on that either. Because Jesus is and always will be bigger than evil. He is THE LIGHT. And wherever there is LIGHT, darkness CANNOT remain.

So, with all of that being said....there is MUCH more on where the traditions of Christmas come from. Santa, Christmas trees, ornaments, wreaths.... If you care to know, just take the time to do the research. If you want to know why you do what you do and if it comes from Jesus or Evil, then just take the time to look it all up. And of course ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to the truth.

For me, I choose not to. And all that I've said is how I feel. I just don't want to be a part of it. I love Jesus and I'm SUPER thankful He was born. And I'll celebrate His birth. Just not on this day. I want to honor Him on more than just a couple days a year.  And being with family and showing them that they are special to me and Him. I'll take the family time, without the Christmas. I found that the word is actually made from two words..Christ and mass. Mass meaning death. If it's about His birth and life, why mass? You can look it up. And if you feel like, Molech too. A god they would sacrifice children to.


On top of all this...in the Bible, the Lord tells us to keep His feasts. Not "Jewish feasts" not "Hebrew feasts", HIS feasts. If you take a deeper look into the feasts, there is a BEAUTIFUL picture of Christ and His Bride. I'm not Jewish, but I do want to keep His feasts and I do. When the Jews set apart a day or week to honor the Lord, they don't play around. It's so sacred and Holy to them. Jehovah is so sacred and Holy to them. And when you can see Jesus and His bride in the feasts, and take part in the symbolism of it, it's a real powerful and reviving time of year.

Do I think I'm better then those that celebrate Christmas? No!! I just experienced some things and read up about some things and this is where I'm at and how I feel. This is what my heart looks like when it comes to Christmas. It means a lot to me.


I'm not perfect and I don't know every thing. I don't mind if you think I'm coo coo. I just really Love Jesus and know what He can do for someone. And I can't stand evil. I can't stand seeing people hurt and in bondage and have to suffer. I hate it! And I know with everything in me that Jesus is freedom! So I will proclaim Him for the rest of my life. And when I die, I hope you will remember me by how I always stood by my Lord and and His Love for me and how I wanted everyone to have Him. And how coo coo I was! lol!! This isn't about people at all. It never is. It's about how much I despise the enemy of God. And what he does to people.

He will be my song for all eternity!
Amen.
Written from the heart of a laid down lover in the making.

We can be the trees. Yasha, the fire.

Yasha means: to be open, wide or free. To be safe. Free or Succor. Deliver. Help. Preserve. Rescue. Salvation. Save (-iour). Get victory. To be liberated. To save from moral troubles.

Yehovah is Yasha. 

That's Jesus' name in the Hebrew. It's split up into two words. Beautiful huh? It's who He is. Not some sissy white guy with a beard. He's power. He's alive. He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He breaks chains. He lights up dark places. He IS the Messiah! INHALE! He wants to live in you!! And be Yasha all through you! Seeping out of your pours!! Your breath! EXHALE! Once He becomes Yasha to you, you can exhale Yasha into another! Catch us on fire with you Lord! Let us ignite like a crazy wild fire! Spreading all over the place! Burning so bright and catching so fast, it can't be put out. YOU can't be put out!
We can be the trees! Yasha, the fire. Yehovah came as Yeshua so we could burn with this fire... to be open, wide or free. To be safe. Free or Succor. Deliver. Help. Preserve. Rescue. Salvation. Save (-iour). Get victory. To be liberated. To save from moral troubles. "My Love for you is stronger than death."

This song gets me every time! Oh, passion...

I want to point to you! I have every reason to!

An old blog that I was thinking about this morning! And it made me smile. Thinking about Him and how much He Loves us! Be encouraged! And look for Him! He is there! Waiting for you to turn even just a little bit, toward Him!Or to just lay before Him and give Him your burdens...your mind...your heart...confusion...fear....He wants it. He wants to move in Your Life. SURRENDER!! SWEET SURRENDER!! ; )

I want to point to You. I have EVERY reason to!

"Come! COME! Behold! Here He is! Look at Him! Partake!!"

"This is Him! This is my Dad! My King! He's the best thing in the whole world! I know it! I promise you! Come!"

Then I see people running to You. Falling on their knees. Taking the path. The one that leads to You.
And I see tears in Your eyes.
And I know it's because they're returning.
It's because You love them and You're glad to have them home.
You're desperate to see their souls set free from every thing that's not of You.
Lies. Bondages. Sickness. Deception. Darkness. Oppression.
From every thing that causes them to limit You.
From every thing that causes them to settle.
From every thing that makes You look like something You're not.
You long for them to see who You truly are.
The One that created them.
The One that drew up their blueprint.
And Your tears are for all the time they didn't see You.
The real You.
All the time they didn't trust You.
All the time they chose other things over You.
While You know that You love them most. More than those "things".
All the time You just wanted them to know the Truth.
Wanting them to turn.
So You could Love on them.
The tears are for the reunion.
They joy.
The time has come.
They're back.
Your people.
Your children.

And You look back at me. And we smile at each other. And in the spirit we embrace each other. Because we both know what's happening. And I whisper in Your ear..."I adore You, Dad!"
