When We Least Expect It!!
Just finished up a little while ago with the men’s bible study here at Starbucks.
Wasn’t expecting it to be so emotional. But it was, as we discussed that we all come to a place in our lives at some time, where we are reduced to a place that we are utterly dependent upon the Lord.
Where everything that we counted on or we looked to is stripped away, totally removed and the only option we have is to look to the Lord as the sole answer and source for all things in our lives.
It is not an easy place to be because it strips you, of you. Makes you realize how hopeless life is without the Lord as the source of strength. That He is the very foundation that we must build upon. It is the only thing that will not be shaken, torn asunder, that will stand the storms, the battles, the adversities that come our way.
That even through tears we can look to our Father, knowing that He so loves us that He wipes away the tears, He eases the pain and He applies the balm of healing that reaches our inner most being.
He also teaches us to forgive ourselves, to know that He has taken it all to the cross. That He has forgiven us, and we have to forgive ourselves, knowing that it was all nailed to the cross, removed, so that we can start afresh. A new beginning as we draw from Him the strength to walk the path we are on, each day.
That is what the Lord did this morning as I fellowship with my brothers in the Lord here at Starbucks. The Lord reached in and touched some more wounds in my life that I thought I had yielded to Him and once again set me free to focus on Him.
Again, the Lord in mercy and grace, set me free this morning to let go and allow Him to work in my inner most being and He used others to do so. We need to allow the Father to touch our hearts, our spirits, to set us free.
Allow Him to use others to bring healing to your life when He wants. You will be surprised at the awesomeness of our Father to touch our lives through others when we least expect it and in ways that will surprise us.
Our Father works outside the box that we have put Him in at times and sets us free when we allow Him to be who He is. Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Our Father, who sets us free to follow Him.
Till later,
Paul
