What is it to really have a relationship?
Jesus came so that I could become one with Him, so that I could experience His true love. He brings balance into this crazy world which I live. I have the opportunity of having Jesus in my life, an ability to arbor something so beautiful and perfect the only way it could be found was through a supernatural encounter with God Himself.
I am wicked and evil because of the human nature to which I was born, but in psalms 5 it says that God really wants nothing to do with that.
If I can align my life with the steps and the map that He has provided, He will fill me. It's my choice, will I obey? Will I follow this beautiful word He has given me? Because of my nature I know I will fail, And I know I will fall(notice I said will, not might) but Psalms 5 says, "I will live in the multitude of His mercy" so every time I make a mess of things, go the wrong way, or even fall flat on my face because I let myself get the best of me again! HIS MERCY IS THERE, His mercy picks me up and dusts me off, it never judges or laughs. His mercy is gracious, loving and quite the beautiful exchange.
HE GIVES ME SOMETHING PURE FOR MY IMPURITIES, SOMETHING WHOLE FOR MY BROKEN PEICES.
but how do I submit myself to this beautiful masterpiece when I know I can't paint? Psalms 5 says "my King, my God, for to You I will pray. In the morning You will hear my voice, in the morning I will direct it to You. I will look up"
It doesn't matter what kind of mess my life is, it doesn't matter what surrounds me, all I have to do is OPEN MY MOUTH, talk to my God, pray, and LOOK UP! Later on in Psalms 5 it says "He will lead me in His righteousness"
I may not know the way or the answer, but I do know that if I look to Him, He will lead me.
But it all comes down to will I obey? In order to have a relationship with God the survives my crazy life, depends on my willingness to obey and submit my life to Him. It's because of His gracious mercy that we can do this! Thank God for His mercy!
Come on guys! WE CAN DO THIS!
Psalms 5:2-8 NKJV
"Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God, For to You I will pray. My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord ; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity. You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple. Lead me, O Lord , in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before my face"
This is awesome Faith!
