When Suffering Binds instead of Tears-How We Tell Our Story Part 2

February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 ~ pursuedby ~ 2 Comments

When Josh talks about this time, he tells me he truly wondered if his wife would ever return to him—but more so, would she ever return to God? He knew he couldn’t force or change anything for me, and he knew God was dealing with me. His only job was to love me. It was a very sacrificial love those couple of years.

Catching me up on his day. Always with a few small toys, always with details about who was mean and who was kind. He feels deeply, is sensitive to words (such s good thing) and is corrected easily, usually the first to ask for forgiveness. Our #lightnlaughter1111 boy❤️

{Blog Post} The most deceptive lies are the ones that are partially true. And the Father of Lies knows this... You see, these messages of more are partially true, some of the words straight out of scripture, but if we aren’t seeing Jesus as the conquerer, as the healer, as the rescuer, as the strength giver, as the power filler, as the heart healer, as the example to follow, it's not Jesus’ message, it's another’s. If those speaking this message are not bridling their tongue in pointing to themselves or to your inner self, their claim of religion (in this area) is worthless. We are made for more, but more of Jesus. His call is one of self denial, taking up our cross and following Him. So why is this good news???

What if we sought the Lord the way we sought to figure out our enneagram number? What if we sought the Lord the way we sought to figure out how to use EO’s? What if we sought the Lord with the same amount of time we spend scrolling through our social media? What if we sought the Lord the way we plan our meal calendars, work calendars and kids calendars? What if we sought the Lord the same way we sought to ensure that date night happens, or guard our time at the gym, or invest in our favorite creative endeavor? What if we sought the Lord the same way we pour our time into counselors?What if we sought the Lord the same way we buy up and read books from women who are telling us how we can do more because we are made for more—but it’s pointing us all toward more of ourselves? What if? Because we were made for more, but we were made for more of Jesus— Friends, if we want our life to reflect Jesus, if we want to be a light for Him, if we want change, growth, broken chains and actual healing, IF WE WANT TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE HIS PURSUIT OF US NEVER ENDS FOR OUR GOOD, we MUST know him. We can’t know him if we don’t know his word, because that is how he has chosen to reveal himself to us. Don’t follow and believe the half truths that aren’t truths at all . For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God?— the God who equipped me with strength and made my way blameless. He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.
