Revival

I am not living in it. I am not living in the fullness that I crave. I need revival---I need to come back to life. I feel dead---I feel empty---I feel broken.

It's amazing how you can spend a season in your life seeking out God and feel as if you have gained everything you need only to step into the next season and fall flat on your face. The more you find Him, the more you need Him.

"You can't control your circumstances, but you can control your stance."---not sure who deserves credit for this statement, but it's something I have heard often. I can only imagine how Job felt when everything that he loved was stripped away from him yet he still turned to God. When circumstances go wrong, I get angry with God----how could He let this happen? How could He turn His back?

Trust me. 

That still small voice again. I know you are good, God, and that you are faithful even to the unfaithful. But I am fearful. I am weak.

I am Perfect Love and I am Strong. I will hold you. 

What about forgiveness God, how can I forgive those who have hurt me the most? Those who have wounded me again and again----how can I forgive them?

Just as I have forgiven you. 

God, you sent your Son to die---he had to pay a steep price. Will I have to pay such a high price for someone else's wrong?

Love includes long suffering, and I will hold you every step of the way. 

I have given my word to love this man---and love this man I will.
