Wow, God is good! I feel like today is a new day. I guess everyday is a new day, but today I was able to listen to the voice of God and rid myself of some shackles that I have been hanging on to for quite some time now. I want to thank God for the precious voice of the Spirit that beckons us to his side. There is no escaping it, not if you have heard the voice of God even once or have felt his touch. The love that you experience when you are close to his side is more intimate then a husband can be with his wife, the only love that can truly fill the voids that we all seek to fill.

Our lives are filled with people we seek to please and love, but are we seeking to please the Lord God Almighty with our lives? Are we quieting our lives and minds to hear the Lord’s sweet whisper? Or are we ignoring the Creator of all to please those around us? I struggle with truth. I struggle with the willingness to accept that God’s blood has truly wiped away every one of my sins and made me his precious, pure bride that will one day walk down the isle and look into the eyes of the Lord God Almighty.

It’s hard to remember every detail about our wedding day, but the one thing I will never forget is the look in Jim’s eyes as he grabbed my hand to be his bride (haha…I’m actually crying as I write this), the love that I saw in his eyes and through his touch as he grabbed my hand filled my heart with so much love and joy. Can you imagine how glorious it is going to be when we see Jesus!! I can’t wait! Today I want to encourage each and every one of you that reads this to listen to the voice of the Lord, our Father, because his precious whisper speaks truth. Rid yourself of the chains in your life which bind you up and prevent you from reaching the potential that God desires for you. You are precious and he loves you and desires to walk with you everyday until the day we finally get to be with him in Heaven.

Lord thank you for your love, conviction, grace, pure blood that was spilled that I may live with you forever, your forgiveness, peace, joy, patience, truth, righteousness, healing my brokenness, and most of all thank you for being my loving father that sweeps me up in his arms and hugs me even though I am so undeserving. Love Ya!
