1 Corinthians 13:12

Sometimes...even though we have GOD in our hearts...we need to let HIM into our lives.

I'm not completely sure why that statement popped into my head today. I was reading a blog and when I was finished...that's what I was thinking. Is GOD trying to tell me something? My thought would be yes...and HE could be telling you something too! 

While thinking about this I realized that at times I do shut GOD out and it always happens when life overwhelms me. Crazy...I know. When I'm feeling overwhelmed...anxious...stuck out in left field by myself...that's when I should be drawing closer not pulling away. Why do I react this way...I don't know!!

When I...we...get this way, I need to turn my eyes back to JESUS. Get my focus restored. 

This verse is a good reminder of how I...we...should be thinking...

John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease. [He must grow more prominent; I must grow less so.]

Always remember...

No matter what the circumstances of your life are... JESUS is holding on to us and HE won't let us go!

Colossians 4:2

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

 

1 Corinthians 13:12

 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

Amen! How true that sometimes is like we're accepting Him as Savior over our lives but we're not accepting Him as Lord over our lives. Thanks for the post! :D

Great thoughts Chelle; I know the only way to be completely filled with His Spirit, is to empty myself of me so that there is more room for Him!

Blessings friend!

this hit home b/c sometimes I too shut Him out and end up frustrating myself until I finally come to the end of me...and realize how much I need His help. Thanks Chelli. Hey would it be okay to use your salvation plan on your sidebar to put in the back of a book I'm writing?
