“The men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they trusted the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.” Judges 20:36
Lord, I feel like such a lost little puppy right now, just wandering around searching for its mother. I feel strange today, like something inside has changed, though I don’t quite understand what yet.
… There’s no resistance….
I feel no battle raging within me, no conflict surrounding me fighting for supremacy, there is only peace.
Is inner peace so foreign to me that when it occurs I’m afraid that something is wrong???
YIKES!
Funny, just this morning I command Insecurity to leave me forever and then walk out of the room, into another and begin to wonder what on earth is going on around me and in me that is so different. LOL! Sometimes I wonder about myself Lord, the attention span of a goldfish. “Hey look there’s a castle!” swim around in a circle, “Hey look, there’s a castle!” Sigh…
Thank You Jesus that You specialize in the lost and broken because I am such a perfect candidate for You!!! “Hey look, there’s a castle!” While I stress over not getting all my writing done for the last few days and how I’m going to do double duty, You’re just waiting here for me to remember, “there’s a castle”, a stronghold inside me and His name is Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man, a marvelous Light that transcends all understanding and all time. Jesus YOU are my castle, my stronghold when I am weak. You are my fortress of strength when I can no longer stand. You are my provision when there isn’t enough. You are my Grace when I am frustrated and weary. You are mine.
You are mine.
You are mine.
And in the most glorious of ways; You are my husband, my partner, my Beloved Savior, my Heavenly Father, my FRIEND.
You are mine.
You are mine when times are tough and tumbly, You are mine when times are fun and giddy, You are mine when I can’t go on and You are mine when I can’t stop.
You are mine.
You are my GOD.
You are MY God.
YOU are my God.
Oh, Jesus, thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me in my weaknesses or in my strengths.
You are everything to me, but even more importantly than that, I am everything to You. Because I’m Yours and You are mine.
Father I want to learn more about Your amazing love for me, because love conquers all.
