HE Is Able...

Examining our own hearts can be a very painful, yet wonderfully freeing experience! If we ask in sincerity, with a heart that is readily willing to recieve, the Lord will shine His Light and expose those things within us that we NEVER knew existed!!! HE is faithful to do this!! HE wants to do this!! We continue to "become more like Jesus" when we ask HIM to plow up the soiled parts of our hearts, and then recieve, and replace it, with the richness and fullness of Him! It's called "growing up", and it's crucial in our walk with the Lord, if we are serious about seeking His Kingdom! As with all things, it is a choice. We can choose to remain "babies", and recieve only "milk" and never learn to walk, or we can choose to grow up and be fed "meat" and run our course! I have made the choice to "grow up", and am constantly experiencing "growing pains"! :) But oh how my Father God loves me, that He would constantly, and unfailingly, and mercifully, and compassionatly, hold my hand as I learn to walk!!! And oh my, how many times have I failed and fallen, only to recieve His tenderness, His grace and His mercy, and to hear Him comfort and encourage and love on me!!! in a way that only He can! Reassurring me He is right here with me! Cheering me on, saying,"Come on, you can do it! I Am here! Take that next step, and come out on the water with me! I will catch you...I will carry you...I will walk with you..."! I am so much in love with Him, right here, right now, that my heart feels like it could burst with the overwhelming joy of knowing just how much He loves me, and how much He yearns to "plow up" those unknown places in my heart, so that I can continue to grow up into Him, and belong, more and more, to Him!!
