Jeremiah 1:7
--TheSecretPlace--
The LORD just as He called Jeremiah has called each and everyone of us to do a great work, and right now I want to focus on the one thing we are all called to do, and that is to love God, and be loved by God. That is really His plan, and His will for our lives-that we would love Him, and be loved by Him, because when we walk in just the state of loving God, and being loved by Him our days begin to brighten up, and through the hard times, we are strengthened, because His love is what carries us on.
What is it going to take for us to realize that loving God, and being loved by Him is the greatest calling? So many times a day our focus is on other things, like our appearance, and our job title. I believe the LORD is wanting a people to be content to be LOVERS OF GOD. When we walk in our identity we are uniquely energized in our spirits to be bold, and to be all that we were created to be. I want to walk in my identity as one who belongs to the LORD, because no one else can claim my life, because the LORD has already done that. He has paid the highest price so that I may be HIS. I belong to no one else, and that is the greatest gift. I get to spend the rest of my life being known by God, and knowing God.
The LORD wants us to understand the joy in that, and He wants us all to enter into that reality every day of our lives.
When the LORD calls us it is so easy to throw up our doubts, and we without trying push away what the LORD has for us, but the LORD's response is that He knows what He is doing. So why bother talking Him out of what He knows is what is best for our lives. I don't know what the LORD is calling you to do, and sometimes what He calls us to do is not really what we want to step out and do FIRST, sometimes we say, 'well.... I can obey you AFTER I....'
But who are we to underestimate the LORD? He knows what He is doing.
We have a choice when He calls us to obedience...
We could either
A)Submit to His will and plan....
OR
B)Reject His will and plan for what we think is best(-not smart-)
There is no A1/2 We can't be lukewarm in this, we either follow Him, or we don't.
If we do choose to submit to His plan, then one thing we have to constantly remind ourselves to do, and what we need to continually do is trust in HIS leadership. We must realize that we cannot accomplish any good thing without submission to the LORD's leading. I have tried to be spiritual by myself, and it does not work. Our options remain the same-Surrender completely to Jesus, or try to earn His approval, but I want you to know that in Christ, you are 100% approved, and perfect in His sight. You do not have to try to please God with what you do, just by being yourself He is pleased by you.
This is a crucial thing I believe to walk in, and I hope all of you grab hold of what the LORD is calling you to do. He could use you to change the world, or those around you at least. The LORD is with those who call on Him.
---Intercession---
Jesus, please make yourself known to us LORD, You are so good, and I just ask that You would reveal Jesus to us Holy Spirit. We love You. In Jesus Name.Amen
Be Blessed in the Lord Jesus.
