I sought the Lord and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:4
Responsive.
The Lord has been so faithful and responsive to every single question, thought, and prayer I’ve brought to Him in this season. It’s an incredible feeling. Something I’ve never really experienced and not to the degree I am now. God has been encouraging and edifying to me through the community of Guatemala. I know he hears and care for me in every circumstance, nothing is too small or too much for Him.
Going to the fire daily.
My heart needs to be purified daily.
Lord baptize my hearts with your heat.
Purify me oh Lord.
Search me oh God and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts, See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
In this season, I’m in the process of refinement. If you have seen Forged in Fire or know anything about how blades are made. There’s a stage when the blacksmith must submerge the blade in the fire so that it may become playable and malleable for shaping. I feel like I am in the fire. It’s hot, uncomfortable, and hard but I know this is such a good place to be. Because the next step is to be hammered, reformed, and sharpened into something the Lord can use for his kingdom.
I shared my testimony for the first time last night and I just realized how God has redeemed so many aspects of my life and in ways that are intimate and specific for me and for the way I would respond in the moment. God has healed areas I was once so stuck in. And he’s filtered and demolished walls of many addictions and blocks that have hindered my growth in him.
Music preferences, addictions, self consciousness, vain imaginations, self depreciating thoughts, reliance on worldly things. Things my flesh used to find comfort in now bring me no joy;
I just want to stay close to Jesus and abide in the Father.
He loves me so well.
Praise the Lord for what He has done & all that He is doing!!! 🙌
So good to hear of He is doing in your life!!! 💗
Yes, the Father loves you so uniquely and deeply – a love just for you! I delight in the ways God is freeing you from the bondage of the enemy. I love how you are blossoming into the person God created you to be!
