#19 "My Truth"

“My Truth”
It’s become a very popular statement here recently. I watch as people formulate their Truth through life experiences. From brokenness they grab at little pieces of their lives, arrange them, trying to understand them, and then one day out of that hurt and brokenness, they have their eureka moment, and that turns into their truth. This truth is where they stand and it’s unchallengeable. They are saying to the world, “You are welcome to your truth, but this... this is mine, you can’t take it, you can’t change it, it’s my truth.”
John 17:17
“Sanctify them by Your truth...”
I’m struggling to write this morning. I fear that my motivation for writing is becoming about me instead of hearing from the Father. Trying to put together something that will get a like or a share. Ughhh. That’s not what it is about. This world needs the love that I’ve been allowed to experience. The love of an awesome Holy and Perfect God, that left heaven, became a man, lived a sinless life and then gave His life for me. And if that wasn’t enough, He stretched His muscles, rose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, where He makes intercession for me.
Father,
Thank you for Your truth, Your word is Truth. Thank You for helping me hide it deep in my heart. Thank You for sanctifying me through it. Change me Lord into Your image. Hide me in Your shadow. Thank You for this day. Thank You for meeting my needs and the needs of Dawn, my children and my grandchildren. Thank You for your goodness and faithfulness. You are so awesome. You are so perfect. Help me to allow myself to loved by You even more fully today, and allow me to love others today with all of the love that you have for me. So that they can experience the love You have for them. Go before me. Guide my steps and make me exactly what You long for me to be.
I love you,
Stacy
