Father has been authoring one of His principles deep into my heart for the past week. I had to be here by His design in order for all His details to come together and touch me this deeply. To surrender to minister here, in this way, at this time has created an environment for Father to change me and heal deep deep wounds to my heart. His strength is surely made perfect in my weakness and I am experiencing this scripture in a real and actual way.
I can see that He is creating in me the strength to speak to issues that affect His children, but in the process He is presently showing me all the things that He is having to correct in me. There are things still alive and kicking in my flesh that hinder my ability to speak truth in love. It does us no good to see the faults in others, anyone can do that. The real value in knowing the truth is being able to see the faults in ourselves, and not stop there. We then have great need to communicate openly with Father about them and co-operate with His Spirit as He works in us to change us from the heart outward. This process leaves us humble, contrite, and full of mercy and patience for others who are going through this recreation process. We have great need for self awareness, then address these sinful places within and continually surrender them to God until we realize overcoming. Then as Jesus said, we will be able to help our brother with his speck.
I pray to be faithful and continue to surrender these hard places in my heart until the day that Father can use His servant in the way and manner that He chooses. By His grace, through His power, and in His love I am confident that we can overcome these things that hinder us and plague our unity. Thank You Father for all Your patience and kindness toward us. Please forgive our stiff necked ways and continue to shower us with Your hope for we are Your children who You love.
Much love,
