GOD is so good

quite a few burdens have been lifted from my shoulders in the last week and it is because of our GLORIOUS GOD. i am so grateful for what HE has given me that it makes me want to search HIS WORDS and HIM all the more. in the last few days i have been overwhelmed with tears of joy and relief. HE is so good.

since preparing my heart to give to HIM fully so many obstacles, or fears have been going away. i feel a great peace coming over me that i have never felt. i have no idea if it's maturity, but there is great wisdom and joy that HE is continually giving me that is magnificent. learning to be comfortable in your own skin is a woman's dream.

one of the last books i read was about spiritual warfare. it gave the names of the demons that attack us; that attach themselves to us. i have never thought of the devil in this way before, but now it seems to be the only way i think about what he does to us. for example each demon was named; anger, doubt, gossip, fear, pride, worry, bitterness, resentment, guilt and regret. when one of these emotions pop up now i have begun praying to GOD to be rid of it; to cast it out.

there are so many great mysteries in the bible. some we will understand and know, others only HE will give us in heaven. the answers to why we are here, what we are to live for, and how to do it are right there at are fingertips in the bible. giving up control of our lives to HIM is what HE so desperately wants. as i watch the events of the world i hear in my mind what CHRIST yelled out at the time of HIS death; "forgive them FATHER, for they know not what they do." when will the blindness end?

i pray for for the world and each other that we will accept HIS words into our heart and begin to live the lives that HE wants us to have. that we will understand the great freedom of living without the sin that offends HIM when we accept HIM into our hearts. we have been given a great gift, let's try not waste it any longer.

"may our LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF and GOD OUR FATHER, who loved us and by HIS grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 thessalonians 2:16-17"

"the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. psalm 146:8"
