We see many believers who come here.
For whatever their reasons,
reality is; God led them to us.
They cry out to God seeking His help.
He loves to do it His way,not ours.
We see Him work right before our eyes,
but few see with spiritual eyes?
Most see the words,but gloss over
the double meaning of the spiritual,
within the natural meanings.
He reveals through His Holy Spirit,
those cries,that grieving heart.
All a part of His plan,much like the effort
of our original Salvation.
We had to reach the end of our rope,
get to the bottom of our barrel,
before we got His message?
Destroy the pride,which keeps us apart
from His loving forgiveness.
We watch as many who come here,speak of
reaching the end,being weary,in agony,and
hurting so much.
Being unable to find His love,their Jesus?
It has been a dance with their own selfishness
up till this point.
They forgot how far down their hearts breaking
took them to accept Him in the beginning?
It is like that in all the gifts of God,
we must pay a price to dump the selfishness
the world has taught us all our lives,for free?
It came natural, no price needed until
Jesus brought our spirit to life.
Then we knew we had been “had” all our lives,
our enemy teaches subtly; and deadly are his sins
composed of selfishness.
For now we begin to see that this price must
be exacted each time we grow in His grace.
Then again, nothing of value,comes easily,
anything which is priceless is hard fought for
in one of the big three; blood, sweat, and tears.
The Holy Spirit,then opens our eyes,
where we came in pride;and pain: wanting help,
as the Spirit reveals need for change.
We take our flesh off of ourselves,stop the pity party,
place our thoughts on our Personal God, and know that He
has been there all along,waiting for us to get beyond
the problems , which really weren’t that huge in the first place.
Our eyes open, and we see his love,and we can touch it,
feel it,know it?
Clear,becomes the spiritual; for the flesh dims:
all we think we see?
We begin to know God,
but; we must always remember:
that spiritual growth is being aware
of the effort it takes, to always seek the replenishing of
more of His love and Grace,
never ceasing the good fight.
Becoming free,comes with a price we must pay,
like our Jesus, payed His price for us?
“For all things are for your sakes, that
the abundant grace might through the
thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.”
11 Corinthians 4:15
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield:
the Lord will give grace and glory: no good
thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.”
Psalm 84:11
“So shalt thou find favour and good
understanding in the sight of God and man.”
Proverbs 3:4
In His love,
