I haven't written anything for a while. It's not for a lack of trying...it's just that I continually sit down to write & can't seem to bring clarity to my thoughts. God has been doing so much in my heart lately, so here goes: I'm going to attempt to put words to His awesome revelations.
I've been reading through the Gospels & the Psalms lately. My friend Abbey told me that if you want to increase in wisdom you should read Proverbs, if you want to increase in the prophetic you should read through the prophets, if you want to increase your worship then read through Psalms, & if you want to become more like Jesus then read the Gospels. All of those things are good things, & if I could read the entire Bible every day I certainly would, but that's entirely impossible.
I've had so many revelations while reading through these books.
Sometimes I find that I relate to David so easily. He made some really stupid mistakes...but God continued to show him grace. I love how God's grace knows no bounds. I love that He provided a way for us to come into His presence & experience Him. (sidenote: I've found that no matter how much time I spend in His presence, I never feel like it's enough. Then I realized that's how it should be...I should never be satisfied, I should continue to crave more of His presence.) I love that Jesus Christ's blood is ever-flowing & covers all of me. As Paul wrote in Galations 2:20, 21, I no longer live by the law...I live by grace. God's grace covers me. Living in grace is empowering. I no longer have a desire to live my old life...I want to move forward with Christ.
I want to love people like Jesus did...always forgiving & bestowing grace.
I want to spend so much time in His presence that people I encounter can't help but be affected by the Holy Spirit in me.
I want to walk in faith, knowing that the Lord's counsel will stand. (Proverbs 19:21)
God is doing some incredible things in Salem, Oregon...& I am going to be used by Him. Dive in...get ready for revival!!
