God has been calling me to place of silence. To really sit in silence, drive in silence, and even sleep in silence for that matter. I have this habit of sleeping with the TV on because it is more comforting to sleep that way. However, God is taking a hold of my fears in this season of my life. He has called me to be bold in my walk with Him and to use my voice to speak His truths. The word of God is His truth!
It is so easy to conform to the ways of the world and compromise God's word in order to make sin acceptable. Well, like my pastor said, "The laws and the court system may change but the Bible does not". It is hard to live a righteous life but thank God it is the righteousness of Jesus that saves us and not our own. Even while being a Christian woman, wife, mother, and working in ministry I was not always righteous. Whether it was in my thoughts, my emotions, my words, or even my actions. When I look back at the person I used to be it brings tears to my eyes. Thank God for healing and changing me! I am still a work in progress but for the fact that others see growth that I had not even recognized proves that God has done a work in me. He keeps birthing gifts out of me and His favor over my life is amazing.
It takes truly walking with God to experience all God has to offer. To know God's love on this level forces you to show and give love on an earthly level. Even when people hurt you, judge you, condemn you, gossip about you....whatever it is you are able to show them love in the midst of their wrong doing. God wants us to act in love no matter what because He extends that same grace and mercy towards us.
God is never blind to our good doing and as hard as it is I encourage you to do what is right no matter the cost! God will bless you for you obedience in His timing....
I Love you all. Smooches.....Blog with you later. ;-)
