Imagination

Dear readers,

 I have been away from writing here for quite some time, but I hope to be writing here more frequently from now on. It was a good time to take from writing here, though. The Lord has done so much in my heart over this time that I am not even sure where to begin. I have had times, like Moses, feeling that I'm a vagabond, wandering in the desert, and waiting on God. And then, like Moses, it was as if I saw Him, somehow, as I hadn't truly seen Him before. He humbled me in ways that I never thought I could have been. It's amazing when the change He made in you was the same grace you were so afraid and misunderstanding of before. It's beautiful when God brings you to the place you never thought you'd be. Like the words of the song I posted below, "You've brought to my attention, I'm slowly changing, and becoming what I wanted to stop." And these words, "But isn't that just like a finite mind? Setting out with such righteous indignation. But when I'm at Your feet, could You look at me with some imagination?" I have been realizing more lately the life and love He has given in bringing me into this place. The Lord really opened my Heart on Easter morning, as I was thinking of how He came to bring us new life by redemption, and then, even after, to continually draw us back to Him and give us life in abundance. I had been in prayer for months to attend a Church whose preaching had been very intricate in bringing all this about in me. In a series of circumstances, the Lord opened a time to be able to attend that Church Easter morning. What could be sweeter, when that was the day when we as believers celebrate life in Christ? And nothing could have been sweeter. I found such a settled rest, such a quietness, praise, in being there. I can't begin to describe the way my Heart felt so overwhelmed by God's goodness and Love by it. It was good to be reminded who I was, am, and what He is still working to perfect in me. To be reminded why He continues to pour out His Love on us as His Children. This is where I have been, beginning to catch a glimpse of the face of the Savior in such a new and beautiful way. Watching Him change and open my Heart. I only pray that He continues, and works over me in ways that I can't imagine. Amen, Jesus. You're heart is so good.

I love you all,
