Timing, what I call a God-incidence, God’s grace and a divinely appointed friendship, are the factors that have afforded me this precious opportunity to share my heart, with yours.
Currently I am listening to an audio book, in which I am encouraged to do an exercise that asks me to think about something that has brought me happiness. Next, I am to allow myself to view the sensations that I felt. As I recalled this memory I sensed joy and delight. My experience was beautiful and the sensation was undeniably that of love. Then I was asked to think of something that caused me pain and again to become aware of the sensation that I was feeling. I felt sad and stressed, fear had raised itself in all of its ugliness. Upon reflection, I see that I have allowed myself to spend much time surviving instead of thriving. I have questioned myself far too often eventually coming to an unplanned destination of either being too much or not enough. Does this sound familiar? Thankfully because of my God given sensitivity, I am able to be aware of when I allow fear to rule in oh so many areas of my life.
For many years now, I and perhaps you too, have searched for truth. The type of truth, that ushers in the sense of, and the experience of, freedom, (which in essence is the absence of fear). Truth that comes directly from what I choose to believe in my HEART. The truth that “I know that I know” GOD IS LOVE! A word of caution, I am not referring to my head knowledge, rather to the knowing in my heart. This heart knowing has only come from what I refer to as an “encounter” of God’s heart for me. This encounter has changed my life forever. I have learned that all, yes ALL of the issues in my life can only be resolved with love. HIS LOVE! Doesn’t God’s word say, when I know the truth it will set me free? My heart may be wicked and trampled upon, meaning words that have been spoken over me, the cellular memory that I have inherited from my earthly family of origin and life’s experiences. Thankfully I am able to say BUT God! I know that the work that He started in me before the foundation of this earth, will be completed! He will never leave nor forsake me! In starting my heart, an absolute miracle in itself, He then proceeded to watch over me, as He knitted me together in my mother’s womb with the laminin protein, which amazingly is shaped liked a cross. God truly is into the details! There is nothing missing or broken in Him! I am made in His image and I have His wellspring which allows me to complete my life as His champion, because there is nothing missing or broken in His original work of me. This truth is the power that has set me free and it will continue to do so, as my life is a work in progress!
I challenge you to allow yourself to experience the depth, width and height of how very much you are loved by God. Tonight before closing your eyes specifically ask, “God show me tonight, as I sleep, how much you love me, make it personal God.” He longs for us to EXPERIENCE HIS HEART! Sit quietly when you awaken and prior to allowing the pressure of the day to descend upon you, complete this sentence “When I love myself enough, I allow myself to…..”. My example is, when I love myself enough I choose to eat well, exercise and to walk in the fullness of what God has for my life! A life that is lived from the heart, is a life lived authentically! How is your Heart? Do you “know that you know” that you are indeed loved. Sweet, sweet dreams and may you have a Joy Filled Heart month! From my heart to your heart.
