HE HAPPENS.
And then we HAPPEN.
When we STOP.
But HE HAPPENS
even when we don't STOP
because
GOD never STOPS
pursuing HIS very own.
And that my friend is you & me & everyone else.
Why would GOD create someone HE didn't want?
Why would I take the time to go to a store to buy something
just to throw it out when I got home?
"The LORD is not slow in keeping HIS promise, as some understand slowness. Instead HE is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish,
but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9)
HE WAS THERE because HE IS HERE.
Even when I was running in the other direction.
HE never left me
HE was there in my past when I almost died as a baby
HE WAS THERE
when I was destroying myself with bulimia.
HE WAS THERE
when no one else was.
HE WAS THERE
when I would beat myself up because
I was seen and treated as unfavored.
HE WAS THERE
when Fear
would strive to get the best of me
HE WAS THERE.
HE found me.
And then I HAPPENED.
Because A REAL GOD who created me
PURSUED me.
But HE didn't STOP there
because HE knew I needed
JESUS.
Oh GOD got my attention
as I spent time with HIM to really get to know HIM,
once I realized that HE wanted me to come to HIM
as my IMPERFECT self.
Because who TRUSTS someone they don't know?
Well GOD never left me
and I wouldn't leave HIM
because
I liked who I was becoming in HIS PRESENCE.
Little 'ole IMPERFECT me
PURSUED by a PERFECT GOD
who introduced me to
HIS PERFECT SON
and then
I really HAPPENED.
Oh the rest of my story is HIS STORY
as
HE UNLEASHED ME
taking me from the
RAGS to RICHES~
Unforgiveness to FORGIVENESS
Unfavor to FAVOR
Fear to FREEDOM
For HE is my & yours
RESCUE STORY~
“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24)
Oh HE never gave up so why should we
because
HE is
IN THE MIDST OF OUR REAL LIFE STORIES
DESPITE WHATEVER OUR STORIES ARE.
HE is in the midst of our REAL LIFE STORIES.
I am so excited to share my REAL STORY
and for other women to share their REAL STORIES
as we gather together this Saturday
for the UNLEASHED Conference.
Oh I know HE WILL HAPPEN
because HE ALWAYS HAPPENS
big time
especially when 2 or more are gathered in HIS NAME.
Have you HAPPENED yet?
Pull up a chair.
And invite
GOD & HIS SON
because
in order for our REAL SELF
to HAPPEN
we have to admit we don't have it
