21 settembre ........There are so many things going on inside of me...it's just hard to explain it all sometimes...i came across this the other day and hopefully that will explain part of how I am feeling.....
"...this is a common situation in most churches some time or another. It is certainly one of the "occupational hazards" of pastoring. I could never protect myself from getting emotionally involved in people's lives. If they rejoiced, then so did I. If they wept, the so did I. They had my heart completely. So, when they exited from my life, they took a piece of my heart with them. It felt as though my heart was being ripped from my chest each time.
Yet, as I would gaze upon Jesus and see how He endured the misunderstanding, betrayal and abandonment of those He loves, I would receive comfort and courage to continue pursuing His purposes for my life..........Yes, He empowered me to love again. Instead of putting up walls of self-protection and preservation, I was able to open my heart again to those He entrusted to me."
Lanora van Arsdall - Breakthrough Anointing.
One more day...yet more to comeI felt that He asked if I was willing to fast to see CHANGE. I said, "Yes" because I was desperate to see things beginning to change, to get better. Also, I wanted a personal breakthrough.
This is the 9th day of my 10 day fast. What have I accomplished? Nothing much measurable. But what's changed is my heart. Over the past few days, I've come to know His presence. My heart had been broken yet His presence sustained me. I know He is transforming me. How do I know that I've changed?
Because now....
My soul and my heart are filled with praise
My eyes don't just see what's seen
The eyes of my heart are open to see Him
I will trust in Him alone
When I look at the mirror, I see weaknesses, problems, and a fallible being.
When I look to Him, away from the above, I'm being transformed to reflect His glory.
I can't get enough of Him
I can't sing enough of praises
I'm hungry, desperate for more of Him
Sing my soul and all that's within me
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Only God knows....dadadadadada.............
SIng my soul of the Saviour's love
Sing my soul unto God alone.......lalalala.....dididar..........
But that's not it....my God is able to do more....expect great things from the great GOD!!
13 settembre Grace AmazingHow can I complain about these situations any more? How can I lose courage and faith just when I think it’s too difficult? Didn’t Jesus suffer the worst of all? Wasn’t Paul tormented again and again? What about the martyrs?
What they went through were no fictions! They are facts, reality! Their sufferings must be real. The pain pierced their hearts and souls. When I see them as reality, as real people going through real sufferings, when I place my situations in light of all these, to say, “they could handle this because they were strong” is simply excuse for me to point the finger at something or someone else.
I’ve come to understand that …
It is by His GRACE that I can bear these trials and sufferings By His GRACE, He makes sure I can always stand up under pressure Because of His GRACE, He cares to consider my weaknesses and limitations So that what has come is bearable Because of His GRACE, He never gives up on me even when I fail Amazing GRACE, only from my Creator, Father, King and Lord! It’s not about me It’s all about Him
Heb 12:4 -6 “In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."
Lord I live for You To honour You with all I am Jesus, the Breaker of Anointing, Lead me to the Cross Of obedience, resurrection and power
10 settembre Enlarge my heart.What does it mean to "enlarge my heart"?
1. To enlarge the extent to which God will work in my life.
I read this that basically explains what I mean here... " To the degree that you are willing to give up your will, your way, your words, your walk, your worship and your warfare - to that dgree will you find the will of God for your life." Dr Fuchsia Pickett 2. To enlarge my heart capacity to contain His ways.
3. To enlarge my emotional capacity.
new....keep learning, keep expanding and keep on loving!
