I've discovered that God never ceases to amaze me! No I didn't JUST catch that revelation, but just gotta say it tonight!
This week the "Faith Just Got Real" post was really a seed that began to grow in me such a hunger for His word that it's almost been insatiable. I had my small group on Tuesday so spent most the day listening to Creflo Dollar, Beth Moor and poured over scripture. God has been drawing me to Psalms, and as He guides me through, showing me the depths of who He is, it's been the beginning of an intimacy with Him that touches a deeper place in me than anything I've experienced with Him before.
I kept to my word in Faith Just Got Real, asking Him to show me who He is, teach me so I can be that reflection as I surrender all of Chandra to Him. My God does not disappoint!
In Psalm 23:6 He promises me goodness and mercy follow me all of my days and that I get to dwell with Him forever. In Psalm 29 I get to know my Powerful Holy God whose voice thunders over the ocean, powerful and majestic! I love the ocean, I've always said the roar of the waves crashing on the shore are such a mighty demonstration of God's power and majesty!
In Psalm 30 I meet my protector, my safe place....
I've made a conscious decision to remain single for awhile, but as a single Mom, one thing I miss the most about a relationship is the protection and safety I felt in his arms. But as God continues to reveal to me who He is, my heart floods with His love for me and such PEACE because I am so fulfilled in His love for me!
I smile as I lay here telling the Lord from the depth of my soul, I don't need a man, not even him. I just need you! Thank you that goodness and mercy follow me! Thank you that you are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow! Show me your will and I promise I will walk through the doors you open for me. I will rest confidently in the shadow of your wings.
Through this season of testing it's been, to know Him like this... It's worth it! I lay my head tonight completely surrendered and completely head over heels in love with Him and rest in knowing He's head over heels in love with me!
I challenge you ladies, to seek Him this week in a way you never have before. Ask Him to show you...and be open to receive it. I promise you, you won't be disappointed! He is completely head over heels in love with you too! There's plenty of Him to share! ;)
Til next time...
