Bending Our Comforts, Baring Our Souls

Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by loswhit in Deep Stuff

Beyond our control.

Beneath His hand.

Bending our comforts.

Baring our souls.

That is what I am praying YOU allow right now.
That is where revival happens.
That is where authenticity takes place.
That is where relationship turns into romance.

Won’t you join me?
Los

    This is the story of my day… the place where I sit and bare all to God and intimacy is born of the tears…

    Ugh, this is what I’ve been forced to do in these past couple months. I’ve been forced to give up control, get way out of my comfort zone, bare my soul to my sweet Jesus, and claiming that I’m resting in the Shadow of the Almighty. But it’s been amazing because I have grown the most, I have witnessed God’s Power day after day (literally) and seen the Truth of His Promises, when I have recognized my weakness and realized that I truly have nothing without Him. I’ve experienced revival when everything has stripped away and I allow God to change every part of me. Whew, our God is amazing. Truly truly. He is always awake, always aware, and ever pursuing.

    Ooooh, I would be delighted. I’ve been feeling a tad bit on the “shallow” side in my worship lately. I’m so lazy sometimes :( This is exactly what I need.

    PERFECT TIMING!

    I start a new adventure this morning leading the Beth Moore BREAKING FREE study! I’ve participated in the study, but this leading thing is new for me (with grownups anyway).

    Sometimes when it’s beyond my control I quickly forget I’m beneath His hand. Good thoughts here Los.

    Man, I needed to hear this! I work for a church as the young adult pastor and maintenance man and just got laid-off last night in a church budget meeting – because of budget cuts within the church. although I do have hope in the Lord that He has something better in-store for me. Perhaps this is a chance for me to seek full-time employment as a young adult pastor.

    Beautiful and something I need to seek daily in my life.

    Thank you for reminding me that I can do nothing without Him! My wife is experiancing some medical issues and as all you men know there is no worse feeling in the world, than the one of standing by and being able to do nothing. We are fixers by nature and I can do nothing except turn this over to God and pray. For this one I am just a spectator along for the ride, I pray please dear Lord, make the ride a smooth one!

    exposing our soul goes hand in hand with surrendering both seem simple but feel impossible

    Thanks for the reminder, Los. Surrender is not easy for me nor does it come naturally. Thankfully my God is patient & loving and gently taps me on the shoulder and reminds me to let go, to surrender, and to trust. Okay, sometimes it’s not so gentle, but I’m pretty stubborn so gentle doesn’t always work :)

    Surrendering, believing, trusting, faith…I suck at all this, and yet God still is faithful to me and provides for me. I’m trying to get this through my thick skull. I so need help and feel such a battle going on inside of me.
