Hidden. Wow. What a thought. I am in Him. When I am, my fears begin to fade. There is peace here. There is a rest in the finished work of Christ. I am invited to taste the freedom he purchased for me. I am not forced, but invited to enjoy the blessings that come from the obedience of rest.(Ps 37:7) I may have many pressures impending but my spirit can be at rest in Him. Always.
I wrote that yesterday after feelings of painful separation from Christ and His promises.
I cried to Him, and He heard, answered and reminded me of His love and forgivness in the middle of my sin.
1 Thess.5:23-24 says, "Now may the God of peace make you holy in Every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. GOD will make this happen, for He who calls you is faithful."
He is so beautiful. I want to be like Him; so I tell Him everything. He whispers truth back into my heart. I am not alone. I want to be where He is and He wants to be where I am. I will not be afraid. He is the only one who understands me perfectly and he can speak truth into my innermost being.(ie.gut)
I am so thankful for His nearness. I stumble but I keep coming back to Him; not so that He can heap more guilt on me...but so that I can receive His truth and power to change into my life.
I repent because I see His love.
What kind of love is this?
"Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced His perfect love." 1John 4:18
"We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in His Love."vrs.16
God will be faithful for the rest of the journey. I will put my trust in His love.
