The decade following my surrender, I eagerly grasped the loving hands of Jesus, He met me right where was! No questions asked, full speed ahead 3650 days of intense love and teaching, acquiring Godly wisdom, one day at a time.
Romans 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
True confession, yes I did stumble and fall, often not understanding why or what was happening; I did not remain in the clutches of darkness and uncertainty. I had a hand to hold onto that opened doors and windows to promises and clarity.
Psalms 77:1-2 I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted.
Day by day, I have grown closer and closer to Jesus, witnessing divine miracles,
receiving confirmation that my prayer life has been the most important factor in this relationship development. How in the world did I survive in the cruel world without praying?
2 Chronicles 7:14-15 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
Prayer, a precious tool of connecting and receiving our identity in Jesus! Thank you, God.
A Covenant Prayer.... I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing. I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed GOD, FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, thou art mine and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. AMEN!
Sounds like a plan for a new year and a new decade, thank you, God.......
