In Our Face

-Meditation-

Jeremiah 1:9-10

--TheSecretPlace--

Today will be the last day in this passage of scripture--unless the LORD leads me further in it-but as far as I know this is my conclusion to this passage, and I'm sure I will be coming back to this.

As I have read into this passage I have been so blown away at the creative hand of God, and how amazing His leadership is.

As I was reading over this today, and I thought upon it, and meditated on this last little portion of this big portion of scripture I just thought about how the LORD will do what needs to be done in us to pull us into His will. He is so kind to us, and His love reaches out to us in every way, and I think that is one reason why Jeremiah was so pulled into the will of God because of His kindness in His correcting. Revelation 3:19 says:

  "Those whom I love, I correct, and discipline, so be zealous and repent''

And so here you can just see the LORD's loving kindness even minister to Jeremiah's heart, and sometimes when the LORD corrects us, we don't like it, so in our minds He is attacking us, but He is a loving Father, and still at the same time a burning jealous Bridegroom. So however the LORD deals with us I am just stirred that He comes after us, because He loves us, and when we understand that we can so easily respond to Him. So many have this picture of an angry grouchy God who is mad at everyone for being sinners, but He is a kind, gentle, and compassionate. He takes us as we are, and welcomes us into His embrace with open arms.

It is just so amazing the depths even the LORD is willing to go to win our hearts, and to anoint His people with boldness. It blows me away how the LORD spoke to Jeremiah, and He put His words in Jeremiah's mouth, and He so delighted to do so-because He loved Jeremiah.

  Also, because it is on the LORD's heart to bring us, and pull us into His will, we need to have open and willing hearts to do be zealous and repent in the areas we need to repent, and we need to open up our hearts to what the LORD has for us to do. He speaks to us in different ways, and however He is speaking to you, and whatever He is calling you to do, are you open? Are you willing to let Jesus pull you into the center of His will? Are you willing to let Him ignite your heart no matter what?

The LORD wants to do this in us by filling us with Holy Spirit. When Jesus left He said that He would send a comforter who is the Holy Spirit, and we can daily be filled with the Holy Spirit with fire, and the LORD wants to fill you. He wants you to reach your full potential in the LORD. The Holy Spirit gives us words to speak, He gives us ears to hear, and eyes to see, and He gives us strength to contend and intercede.

The call on your life is extraordinary, and the amazing thing is, is that you, and I both, need the Holy Spirit to do whatever we do in life, whatever our calling may be we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, whether you are a garbage man, or a pastor, or the waitress at Apple Bee's. And the amazing thing is, that no matter what you are doing, when you are following the call of God on your life, then that is a divine calling, and with that calling you need anointing, even if you don't have a name, and even if you have a lowly job, in the LORD's eyes you have an important job, because you are His child.

I just want to call you, and encourage you that no matter where you are in life, to go deep in your calling, go deep in the LORD, He has called us to be intercessors, and OVER ALL! We are called to love Him, and be loved by Him, and there is nothing greater to go deep into than the love of God.

---Intercession---

Jesus, I just thank You for how you bring us into the center of Your will, I just pray, and I ask that You would wake us up, and reveal who You are to us. I pray for those who do not fully understand that You just want us to love You, and be loved by You, and I pray that You would open the eyes of their hearts to understand, and to know what is needed, and that is to love you, and be loved by you. Thank You Lord for this divine call to love, and I just ask that You would our hearts to love You, and to just soak in the fact that You love us. Love You Jesus! In Jesus' Name. Amen

Blessings!!
