You.

Today, Lord You woke me up with the lightest head I have felt in months. Thank You thank You thank You!

this week’s Words were…

from 2 Corinthians 3:17

“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

-I ask Him to satisfy all my longings and fill all my hollow places with His lavish, unfailing love.

(“this frees me from craving the approval of others and requiring others to fill my ‘cup.’”)

--- Then, if someone takes the time to demonstrate love to me, that’s the overflow. I’m free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I don’t require it emotionally. ---

~Where the Spirit of the Lord’s lavish love is, there is freedom!~

from Matthew 4:4

‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’ ”

from 1 Corinthians 10: 12-13

    [12] Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. [13] No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Those words; ‘satisfy all my longings and fill all my hollow places with Your lavish, unfailing love’… ‘then, if someone takes the time to demonstrate love it me, that’s the overflow and I am free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I don’t require it emotionally.’ …oh, how these words will permeate my heart for the rest of my life. They will, I know they will, especially now, in this season—I need His lavish and unfailing love, desperately. I know it’s not always a “good” notion to be desperate but when it comes to longing for Christ to satisfy all my longings and fill all my hollow places I believe desperate might just be the best state to be in. I now know that HE is the only one who can satisfy me and who I can rightfully long for and HE is the only one who will ever satisfy me.. so, in view of His mercy, being in desperate longing for Him is the best place I can be right now. ..as long as i take that longing and bow to Him presenting myself and all my longings and hollow places, and clinging to His Words [for man does not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God… bread,food and water does not sustain my life NO!- my life is sustained by the words that proceed from the mouth of God!

oh, how i wish with my heart that i could hear that reminder every minute every hour!
