My LIFE is an open BOOK.
And at times, maybe that is not a good thing,
as I wear my HEART on my shoulder.
I feel like a little girl at times,
with such a
simple FAITH
who
so wants what GOD wants,
but that gets me in trouble.
I get closed out of some lives, yet welcomed in to others.
This isn't a pity party moment, as it is a REALITY check
to ask GOD to take me deeper into my HEART
to see if there is anything that
I am doing or not doing
that causes the great
DIVIDE
in relationships.
Why ask GOD?
Because HE KNOWS me way better than I KNOW myself,
for HE CREATED me & for HE CREATED you,
so why not go to the
ONE who KNOWS~
"Search me, O GOD, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends YOU, and lead me along the path of everlasting life"
(Psalm 139:23-24).
Oh to be so vulnerable with
GOD
is the sweet spot of FAITH,
for when you enter into
HIS PRESENCE
there is no FEAR
because
"Perfect LOVE drives out FEAR..." (I John 4:18).
HIS PERFECT LOVE
birthed in
JESUS who GAVE up HIS LIFE
for EVERYONE'S LIFE,
and HE means EVERYONE.
The best of the best, the worse of the worse, and the mediocre.
For we ALL fall short of PERFECTION
yet in need of PERFECTION,
of HIS PERFECTION
who welcomes ALL~
"I am the DOOR; anyone who enters through ME will be saved
[and will live forever], and will go in and out [freely],
and find pasture (spiritual security)" (John 10:9)
and
IMMEDIATELY there is a trade off.
My bad for HIS GOOD~
"Forgive me LORD, for I do not know what I do, but YOU do".
And then you hear HIS WORDS that are like a big
WELCOME HOME SIGN~
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears MY voice and opens the door,
I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with ME"
(Revelation 3:20).
And who can enter?
ANYONE who OPENS the door.
Even little 'ole me and little 'ole you and little 'ole anyone.
For GOD who KNOWS our HEARTS way better than we KNOW ourselves,
WELCOMES ALL.
So as I sit here in the dark of the morning,
thinking about closed DOORS in my life
and asking GOD to
"Search me, O GOD, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends YOU, and lead me along the path of everlasting life"
(Psalm 139:23-24),
what else is left for me to do,
but to
listen to HIS gentle voice
that I have invited into HIS heart that is planted inside of me,
the moment I OPENED the door
to HIS SON,
as I continue to
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to HIM, and HE will make your paths straight"
(Proverbs 3:5-6).
So, my HEART that I wear on my shoulder
is not my HEART,
for on this morning I invite
GOD in
to
"SEARCH ME..."
as
"I GIVE YOU MY HEART"
