This is how my morning begins.
I start writing GOD a letter
by letting my fingers fly along the keyboard,
writing the unedited words that are on my heart.
And then before I know it
GOD ANSWERS me and I pass along HIS ANSWER to you.
I have no intentions of producing a devotion,
as I don't make an outline
and try to write something.
I thought I would "try" something different this morning
and include you in my writing to GOD.
Ready.
Let's Go.
My unedited heart.
********************************
Dear GOD,
I have an angst this morning and I don't know where it is coming from.
As I know I have to FEAR YOU, yet there is an underlying FEAR
that I can't pinpoint, that is causing angst.
There is nothing to FEAR, but FEAR itself.
FEAR is what I make it.
FEAR is like a cartoon character.
It isn't REAL unless I make it REAL.
Am I trying to FEAR something,
when it is just YOU knocking on my HEART
telling me
there is NO FEAR in YOU
because you are LOVE,
and who FEARS someone who is LOVE.
GOD,
you are GRACE~
"MY GRACE is sufficient for you" .
GOD,
you are LOVE.
What does it mean that YOU are LOVE?
What is LOVE?
Tears are starting to flow, LORD.
What are YOU trying to tell me?
"I LOVE you!
I have always LOVED you.
From the very beginning
when I knitted you together in your mother's womb.
You are MY CREATION.
That is what LOVE does.
PERFECT LOVE.
And then I GIFTED you my SON,
who is the epitome of my LOVE.
For I don't want anyone to PERISH,
so that means you.
NEVER EVER PERISH.
FOREVER LOVED
from the beginning of time to the end of time
that never ends
IN ME.
For MY PERFECT LOVE drives out FEAR,
for FEAR has to do with punishment,
and when you FEAR ME
you LOVE ME with ALL your heat, soul and mind,
because I LOVE you with my ALL.
For there is
NO CONDEMNATION in those who are IN CHRIST JESUS.
So where is the angst this morning?"
Tears flowing again, LORD.
"LET GO MY CHILD.
RECEIVE ALL MY LOVE.
PERMISSION to be LOVED
and
not to FEAR FEAR,
but to FEAR ME.
Draw closer to ME
and LIVE FEARLESS".
WOW!
PERMISSION TO LIVE FEARLESS.
For
"I know the LORD is always with me
. I will not be shaken, for HE is right beside me" (Psalm 16:8).
********************************
So there you have it.
My unedited writing to GOD.
Try it.
Write a letter to GOD.
Just talk to HIM.
And oh how HE not only LISTENS,
but HE HEARS you
and ANSWERS you.
Just ASK HIM~
"DRAW ME CLOSER"
(listen to the song below)
