overwhelming!

Wow! It's been a while since my last blog. By the way I had an incredible time at the beach- and of course I did praise the Lord for the works of His Mighty Hands! I was just sitting here and thinking that it was high time I blogged again and so I am. School has started back and I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I've really not wanted summer to come to an end. It's been a whirlwind and I've been swept away.
This summer has been quite overwhelming. From one degree to another. It's actually even hard to describe what transformations have taken place around and most importantly "in" me. I've learned of relationships, both with man and with God. There's a great correlation. This lesson started rocky and with much saddness. A broken heart, feelings of rejection and abandonment along with unfaithfulness aren't the best emotions to carry along. But thanks be go God that we don't carry them along. He begs us to allow Him to carry these for us. With some hesitation and resistance I slowly began to allow God to take these broken pieces of me and begin to piece them back together. And to my amazement and delight He did! Piece by piece I was being put together. I was being transformed. I was being made new. I was being revived. I was becoming whole- I was becoming wholly His! He has revealed so much to be about His love for me. I have been swept away by the ultimate Bridegroom. "with one glance of my eye, I have stolen the heart of God"- Song of Songs 4:9. He has called Himself my Husband and promised His faithfulness and love to me. "For your Maker is your Husband- the Lord all mighty is his name..." Isaiah 54:5. Isn't that amazing! I have just clinged to those promises and have cherished the love that He has been lavishing on me.
I will also confess of the multiple times that Satan has so eagerly tried to creep through and steal my joy. I've woke up several mornings with thoughts from the Enemy, but I have also learned and have grown fond of the promises that I am an OVERCOMER! Revelation 12:11 promises that I have overcome the accuser by the blood of the Lamb and by testimony. That is some powerful stuff. God's truths are always winning against the schemes of the Enemy- when he says I've been rejected, God says that I have been accepted into His embrace...when he says I am worthless, God says I AM most WORTHY!...when he says I am ugly, God says you are beautiful and I delight in you.
This has all been overwhelming for me. It's been amazing! These words on this page doesn't do Him justice. But His Word is truth. His Word is power. His Word is love. If you don't know Him or His Word, He calls us to "draw near to Him and he will draw near to us." This is a powerful promise. He desires a relationship with us. He wants us to be so close and in love with Him. Let Him love you and begin to love Him!
