Just some thoughts and desires today....
I want the Lord to reflect His glory through me. I was born blind to Him so that He might manifest His works in me.
Thank You O Lord!
I am tired of my flesh having the power to move me from the place I want to be. Dear Lord, I ask You to kill it for me, so that I may walk in my desires.
I was talking with Mark F on the phone this morning, it has been a dry time for me in the spirituals. He pointed out that no one leaves the living God without having been given a choice... first the Spirit comes, then a brother, then the church. Anything else is evil spirits coming to try to steal my very life from me, to steal my joy. I have a husband, I am not to battle them, but to send them to him. I am to reckon that I am right with God unless told by the Spirit with witness in the Body of Christ. I know that "dry times" are for me to grow roots through reckoning the things He has spoken to me. Thank You Lord that there are quite a few of them! Sometimes I struggle a bit to walk in the things the Lord has spoken to me, but even so, He will work all that out for me, because those are the things HE has given me.
Lord, You are God, shape me to Your will. Make me a servant to You. Shape me to be a wife and a mother. Let my life be a life of prayer, a reflection of Your will for me. Let me walk with You as Abraham did - as Your friend, as one that knows the mind of the living God, one that speaks and that hears. Let me walk with You as a son of God - being led by Your spirit into greater and greater liberty and life. Thank You for my family in the Spirit and in the flesh. Let my heart be as a still lake before You, reflecting You without a ripple.
I love You, God.
