To walk in truth we need to sacrifice ourselves.
This is one amazing heart truth that I have been learning this last while. Actually for the last year. It is so hard to always walk in truth. To always do what is right, in God's eyes. But we must press forth through our fleshly selfs, and do what we must in order to further God's kingdom.
With this sacrifice God assures us that he will honor that which he desires. Wow, isn't that so amazing that he will honor us when we do what is right in his eyes.
This is so easier said then done in our lives.....how I know this to be true. But as I stumble, well actually trip----fall face first-------then get up again, God watches over me, and you. When I think about my son Nathaniel, who is one know. But when he started to learn to walk I couldn't help thinking to myself, " Self, he will get up. He will find his way. I just need him to learn it on his own. With my loving supportive hand to guide him, he will eventually get it." And guess what HE DID.
He discovered, what we take a lifetime learning. How to balance, how to make a stand, how to walk in courage, and how get up when we fall. Wow, a one year old understands, and yet doesn't totally. And that is how I feel sometimes. I get it...yet I don't sometimes understand. But that is where God's grace and mercy flows in. Covers the areas where we haven't quite gotten, and gently shows us what needs to be done.
This week I am going to commit myself to two things. 1) that I will sacrifice t.v for one week ( kids are joing in whether they like it or not) 2) that I will sacrifice my sweets this week ( oh this is gonna be hard ladies trust me....already scared lol )
So I hope that there is some light in what I have said. I hope that God stirs some truth into your life.
Blessings, all my dear readers.
I love ya all!
