Deep Crevices
****************
Have you ever hidden sins down in the crevices of your heart? (soul)
As much as I want God to reveal to me the areas of my heart that need repentance, healing, forgiveness; Sometimes I really don't want Him to reveal everything to me, only certain things, things I'm willing to be shown.
.
With hands lifted up, as to surrender I ask God to forgive me for things i've done, to fill me with His Holy Spirit, to use me like He wants to use me, and then I quickly run over to certain areas of my life and throw a tarp over it for Him to leave alone. Something I'm not ready to deal with yet, something I like to dwell on, an area where I justifiably think I have the right to hold on to for whatever reason.
That's futile thinking, foolish thinking.
Do you do the same?
If so,
Since everything is laid bare before the Lord anyway, why do we find ourselves playing such a game with God? As if we are going to win. Thankfully, He sees the whole picture of our life and doesn't ZAP us dead, He doesn't give up on us.
God always wins the game of life, in this instance, it's like He trumps us with the GRACE card. And when He trumps us, it's always SO gentle, loving and forgiving.
The process that we go through to finally, truly surrender the hidden sin found in the crevices are destructive to us. You will never win when hanging onto the sins of the soul. It will always wear your butt out, leave you feeling aged and burnt out.
Since God is faithful and concerned with our outcome and one to be trusted, one that cannot be hidden from, one who knows everything about us; why don't we just surrender before we put ourselves through so much unnecessary torment?
As I age, I'm slowly learning that God's way is the best way. Saying it and doing it are two different animals. The outside of our lives, must match the inside.
Today, I will pray and truly ask Him to reveal any sins that need repentance. Today, I'm feeling to tired inside for another fight with God
Come Lord Jesus and spare your people from themselves.

It's taken days to chew on this devotional
Isn’t it humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things about which we will not come to Jesus Christ. If you want to know how real you are, test yourself by these words— “Come to Me . . . .” In every dimension in which you are not real, you will argue or evade the issue altogether rather than come; you will go through sorrow rather than come; and you will do anything rather than come the last lap of the race of seemingly unspeakable foolishness and say, “Just as I am, I come.” As long as you have even the least bit of spiritual disrespect, it will always reveal itself in the fact that you are expecting God to tell you to do something very big, and yet all He is telling you to do is to “Come . . . .”
“Come to Me . . . .” When you hear those words, you will know that something must happen in you before you can come. The Holy Spirit will show you what you have to do, and it will involve anything that will uproot whatever is preventing you from getting through to Jesus. And you will never get any further until you are willing to do that very thing. The Holy Spirit will search out that one immovable stronghold within you, but He cannot budge it unless you are willing to let Him do so.
How often have you come to God with your requests and gone away thinking, “I’ve really received what I wanted this time!” And yet you go away with nothing, while all the time God has stood with His hands outstretched not only to take you but also for you to take Him. Just think of the invincible, unconquerable, and untiring patience of Jesus, who lovingly says, “Come to Me. . . .
It has taken days for me to chew on this devotion..........................................................
To me, it's about totally releasing your rights to any situation or person. It was very convicting to me pertaining to numerous situations.
Jesus says, Come to me... Plainly and simply... Come to me.... Father, you see this situation that I'm facing right now and it's never ending, the attitudes of these people are nasty, provoking and hurtful. How many times Lord must we continue this same conversation? Like a squirrel in a squirrel cage, the dysfunction continues and I'm tired of being in the middle of it. Always in the middle of it. Then suddenly, self-righteousness creeps in... Lord, I try to walk close to you and do the right thing. It always seems to be ME that has to do the right thing. Why not them?
Then Jesus says... Come to Me..
What the heck does that mean? I am coming to you Lord. Haven't you heard my prayers? Then Jesus says, Come to Me....
Surrender all rights to that person or situation. Press into me like there won't be a tomorrow. Walk in the Spirit of the Living God, serve them like never before, love them and LET ME WORK IN THEIR LIVES.
So today, I come to Jesus and bring this situation to Him and say here it is Lord. Help me to love you more Lord. Strip all my rights. I want to serve you Lord with all of my heart and soul.
Any thoughts?

A snippet from My Utmost for His Highest
It's always refreshing to see raw truth. Especially the red italic portion of this text.
If I am a friend of Jesus, I must deliberately and carefully lay down my life for Him. It is a difficult thing to do, and thank God that it is. Salvation is easy for us, because it cost God so much. But the exhibiting of salvation in my life is difficult. God saves a person, fills him with the Holy Spirit, and then says, in effect, “Now you work it out in your life, and be faithful to Me, even though the nature of everything around you is to cause you to be unfaithful.” And Jesus says to us, “. . . I have called you friends. . . .” Remain faithful to your Friend, and remember that His honor is at stake in your bodily life.
Wow, we really need the power of the Holy Spirit to help us get through this life.
Enjoy your Wednesday!
