I believe that God is always speaking to
us in some form or shape. It may not always be a “special” word but in some way
God is seeking to connect with our hearts. We just have to be willing to
respond to Him and allow Him entrance into our lives. A lady in our
congregation shared some personal thoughts on her FB post and I asked her permission to share it with
you today. I am convinced that God is calling EACH OF US to listen for His
Voice. He has promised to speak life over us as well as in us! WILL WE TAKE
TIME TO LISTEN TODAY?
“I have been thinking about my journey of
life. I strive to be all God wants me to be. I fall short so many times and I
feel like I let the Lord down. The Holy Spirit guides me on this journey and if
I don’t listen closely enough and I let the noise of my life drown out his
voice, I miss his direction and guidance in my life.
We allow our busy lives to take us away
from time we need to spend with the Lord. We put God second and that is why we
struggle so many times in our lives. We try to fill that void in our life with
the pleasures of this world and that is why we lose our peace and joy. Nothing
can replace what God can do for you in your life.
I have tried to fill voids in my life
with other things in my life and it never replaced the emptiness, the
loneliness, and the hurt that I was running from. The harder I tried to run
away from the feelings, the more I struggled. Nothing could replace the
struggle I was facing, but God. When I cried out to the Lord, he heard my cry
and he restored my soul. He replaced the emptiness and the hurt and the pain
with his overwhelming love and healing for my soul.
When I surrendered all to him, my captive
spirit was set free. Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty I am free
at last. No more shackles and no more chains. I encourage you to surrender all
to Jesus. Don’t make the mistake of turning a deaf ear to the Holy Spirit. If
you let him lead you, you will find that your life will be one of victory and
peace.
God is so GOOD!!”
