I heard someone today who had the same heart as me - a guest speaker at church. Everything he said was like the LORD saying to me 'yes, daughter, you are doing what I want, you are who I want you to be'...In December I made my latest big life changing decision because I was starting to drown in things which were not me. Since then I have had lots of confirmation that I made the right choice. Today was confirmation plus.
love God, love others...love is God's answer, real love that listens and cares about people in their every day lives, in their insignificant moments and spending quantity time, must spend time with people, building people is more impt to the LORD then a building, God is about relationships, speak the truth in love, God cares more about what's on your heart, then what you do (the sinner on the cross next the LORD who was saved without having lived a 'good' christian life), God cares about the one lost person that the world rejects (the crazy man who the LORD healed), God's hands and feet to the world etc, etc, etc...
I love the way the LORD knows exactly who you are and exactly what's right for you - there is no set formula for being a christian - we don't have to be sheep that follow each other around, actually God wants us to follow his voice - he's the shepherd, keep our eyes on him and whoever he wants along side of us will be right there. He's the great master planner.
LORD
thank you so much for loving me. I am grateful that my greatest teacher has always been you and your word and not a church or denomination or family. So I recognise and know the truth and I am not afraid to be different, to take risks, to be honest with you.
it has taught me so much about real love, about real unity, about loving difference and valuing others for who they are - good and bad. because I know what it really means to be saved, to be forgiven, I am able to forgive others and myself.
all my life I owe to you. when I think of who I could have been it's extremely humbling. I know the joy of my salvation and I will never forget the price you paid to change me.
I love you Lord and it's true because you first loved me.
your daughter.
