Sell Out.

Last week and this week I have been so very busy, and I would like to apologize for putting such a pause on my posts. Last week I went to the beach with my family, and we got back Sunday, and it has been non-stop busy.

The LORD is really, honestly bringing me through a really tough season of life right now, and one thing that I have realized in my walk with the LORD through this season that I have not really realized too much before in the past is that it is so easy for me to get content with where I am in life, I do not want to be, but it is just an easy comfortable thing to do. Another thing I realize is that it is so easy for me to get distracted from the LORD, and what I need to be focused on, and both of these things HINDER LOVE- and GOD, and when that happens it is a HUGE PROBLEM. AND If I go for long periods of time without quiet time with God my heart grows more and more complacent, and cold, and hard. That is one reason why it is SO IMPORTANT to stay in the secret place continually, it keeps your heart mold-able, and pure before the LORD. The place of prayer centers us in the LORD.

In this season I have been broken. I have realized not even the full amount of how easy I let things get in the way between God, and myself.-ouch- He has so gripped my heart, and convicted me, and BROKEN me, and brought me to my knees, that I realize that I am, in NO WAY, strong. I am in no way wise. I have no source for strength except that which is in CHRIST JESUS. He ALONE is my Source.

I have been brought to my knees, and on my face this week in tears, under the deep conviction of Holy Spirit-that I have no idea what it looks like to pursue the LORD with all that I am, in all seriousness, and in His JOY, and that breaks my heart.

I want to go so deep, and run so hard after Christ that I GET LOST IN HIM!

I want to experience that which I have never experienced. That which HE is offering ME, and my hope is that you would want to experience, and grab hold of what He is offering YOU.

Will we go after Him? Will we go after the ONLY ONE WHO IS WORTHY TO BE SOUGHT AFTER!?

This week I was brought to the place of repentance.

My complacency has held me back from fully embracing Jesus Christ who is fully GOD, and fully MAN. I really had to be broken to see this in my own life.

BUT I SAY NO MORE HINDRANCES TO LOVE!! AND YES TO LOVE HIMSELF.

The LORD is really humbling me, and creating within me a pure, holy, and meek heart, and the more I go low, the more open, and ready my heart becomes to receive more of JESUS, and He makes my heart come alive.

Tonight the LORD just spoke this to me, and I wrote it down, and want to share it with you.

This is to you, from Abba.

Who are you?

Who do you say you are?

Are you confident where you stand

Do you think you've gone far?

Have you touched the depths

Or gone to the heights

Or are you so hesitant to go

That you miss your flight?

That you miss your moment

Your moment to shine

With ALL that you are

With ALL that is Mine

OR

Will you do the one thing needed

Will you stand completely heeded

With JESUS as your prize

With arms held up high

Will you sell yourself out

Be recklessly abandoned

Or will you set your gaze

On that which opposes Heaven

From: The Father.

Set your gaze on things above.

I am praying for the LORD to raise up a cry within you to know, and understand His heart for you more and more, and one thing that you can hold onto is that NO MATTER WHAT we will NEVER truly know how much the LORD loves, and cares about us!! No matter what! We are the very APPLE of His eye. The CENTER of His heart, and His affections. And He is looking for those who will put Him in the center of their own lives. So be BLESSED. Be ENCOURAGED! And run hard after the LORD, do what is NEEDED, always be open for correction, and let Him grip you.

Let us stand as faithful witnesses together.

Belonging to the LORD.
