Seeking my Father.. GOD (Draw me Close to You)
Today, I spent a good portion of the day in the Word. I have been seeking the Lord with all my heart and wanting to draw even closer to him (knowing my father and wanting that relationship with him). He had placed in my heart what he wants me to do and I know that in order to get to that point in which he will use me that I need to grow in areas in my personal life.. I have to forgive those around me that have hurt me and continue to hurt me. I have to love on them even when they don't in return. Forgiveness lets go of that negative feeling and frees both you and whom ever you are hurt by. I have already begun this process with a family member and in a way It feels good to be the better person .. to be what God wants me to be.
Getting back to wanting an even closer relationship with My Father (God) I came across some really great scripture that I'd like to share.
"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds (comes) from the mouth of God" -- Matthew 4:4
Our physcial body needs to be fed just as our spiritual bodies needs to be fed. This comes from reading the Word of God.
His word has power in it..
Psalm 27:4
DECLARATION OF FAITH
The one thing I ask of the LORD
The thing I seek most
Is to live in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life
Delighting in the LORD'S perfections
And meditation in his Temple.
In this Psalm and many places in the bible.. the word seek is used many times. In the dictionary the word seek means: to INQUIRE, CRAVE, PURSUE and GO AFTER with all your might.
Another scripture... And you will seek me and find ME, when you search for Me with all your heart. -- Jeremiah 29:13
Again.. the word SEEK is used here.
Lastly..
LIFE PRAYER
God if I have found favor with you,
Show me your ways.
I want to Think and be like you,
I want to know you and power of your resurrection.
Help me God to walk in the Fruit of the Spirit
Help me to not mistreat people
And Help me to be a blessing to others.
Thank you God for all you have given me and what is yet to come.
In Jesus Name... AMEN

Awesome post and very inspiring! God bless! keep your chin up!
That's right love is the key to overcoming sins and wrongs, enabling us to forgive others who have wronged us, for GOD forgave us of our sins and HE loves us so with agape love. Thank you for inviting me to your blog, I am so glad to have a new sister in CHRIST JESUS.
Love,

Oh forgiveness is so important!!! What I found out is that it is more for me than even the other party - for it frees me to forgive. What a gift of God to not have to carry those burdens around - and unforgiveness is such a burden. Well my two are off to college and Sept 4 Katherine goes back to HS, and then things ease up. How are you doing? Your little one is so precious.

Stopping by - I thought about something yesterday when I was changing some things on my links box - Xanga calls that box our custom module - I renamed it links. Perhaps that is the challenge. Good to see you the other day!
Love,
Heather
