Bruce Demarest in
his book 'Satisfy Your Soul' wrote, "How astonishing that the
infinite Creator of the Universe should seek out undeserving
people for heart to heart relationship. But that is what He
does!"
Over the past few
months I have felt like God was taking the blinkers from my
eyes.
I have been
receiving a renewing of the heart. God has been teaching me
about the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. He has been
teaching me about my faith and the trust that I have in Him.
He has shown me
how much he loves me and I have come to understand that he wants
me to trust Him and when I do put my whole trust in Him and give
over my life to his will, He will fill me with his Holy
Spirit. When I do I will know his strength and power in my life.
God has also
taught me that I have a responsibility toward my relationship
with Him. My responsibility is to commit my time to God. The
time that it takes to build any worthwhile loving relationship.
Time for reading his word, time to talk to him, time to ask for
forgiveness and time to be with the one who loves me and died
for me.
I used to think
that I had to attain some kind of perfect faith under my own
steam but now I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God is
with me, and He always will be.
All my fears, all
my guilt He has taken away.
HE IS MY HEARTS
DESIRE.
Psalm 73v 26
My flesh and my
heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever.
