Healing and redemption
I was recently reading a myspace of an old friend of mine( I know..how lame) however, on his myspace, he wrote about how the Lord had radically changed his life and now how he wants to mirror Jesus to everyone. He also shared how he is a part of a ministry called "The Call" which fasts and prays for the nation, and channels his love for God through his music(which is amazing). It is inspiring to say the least. It reminded me in so many ways of that simple beautiful love for God that I can so easily forget, and have forgotten about due to jadedness. Recently, the Lord has been doing a great work in me of restoration and redemption. The Lord has been taking me back to every part of my life that has molded me to who I am today, and ripping apart the lies and filling me with His words of love and truth. There is nothing like it. In order for their to be deep, deep, healing the Lord had to take me back to the brokenness to the pain and heal me, restore me. It would just happen through out the day, for instance, I would be driving and suddenly the presence of the Lord would just fall on me and I would start weeping. Or in my prayer time, The Lord would begin to speak to all the lies in me by bringing them out and bringing in the truth, and again weeping. It is so unbelievable I can't put it in words. All of my being thanks the Lord for all the trials, for all the heart ache, for in fire gold is refined. Now I know the Love that the Father has for me. The Lord has consumed me and I am consumed by Him.
I realized that I have no idea what a relationship with the Father is like, and I am beginning to understand what that unconditional love of the Father is all about. I am beginning to understand that I am a son of the living God and how much of the gospel I never live out or even get, yet how deep the Lord wants to heal, restore, and show me. I am beginning to understand how to be like the Father in heaven, and how to be like his son.
Lord bring your healing!
