I can't make
"God Happen"~
yet I still try
when I can't
Feel His Presence
when I don't
Hear an answer to a prayer
when I am in the middle
of the desert~
in the dead space~
when nothing is happening in
my heart,
when the passion I have for Him
is no where to be found
yet I know it is there,
and crave so much more.
So
I try to make
"God Happen"
to me,
because aren't we told
"If at first you don't succeed try try again"?
Have you been there or maybe you are there now~
just waiting for
God to come alive in your soul?
Then I am reminded
of the words~
"Cease Striving and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
Because
it isn't in the
Trying & Striving,
yet it isn't in being
passive either
because it is in
Knowing God~
"Know that the Lord, He is God!
It is He who made us, and we are His;
We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture" (Psalm 100:3)~
whether we feel Him or not
as
I am here & You are here
and we didn't get here by
trying~
"You knitted me together in my mother’s womb." Psalm 139:13
And then I also remember oh so clearly
that when I was lost,
so very very lost,
it wasn't in my
Trying and Striving
that
I found myself.
It was
when I became oh so very still
and looked up
to the
One
Who I knew I needed
to do what I couldn't do for myself~
And
He did
show up
in my heart
and my life hasn't been the same,
even in the dead times,
because
the God I know
sent
His Son that I know
&
they are not a feeling.
They Are
mine
They Are
yours
whether
we feel them or not.
Therefore,
let's
Be Still
&
Live on Purpose
&
"Walk by faith, not by sight" 2 Corinthians 5:7
living in our
Redeemed Restored Reality
whether we feel it or not.
