I want to see myself as my Heavenly Father does....I think this is a area that needs to be worked on for me RIGHT at this moment.
I have an ideal image in my head of what I need to look like, how I need to act and what I need to weigh! but I have never surrendered these areas to the Lord so He can speak into them!
Climbing my way up...yes I will!
Not going to focus on the land in which I need to cover still but rather I am going to focus on the freedom I have already obtained!
I see the horizon even though I am still climbing out of the valley...it feels like such a dark and lonely place...
I need to reach for Father's hand and allow Him to lead me up and out of this darkness!
More freedom at the top!
I will pray for you, for those valleys are a hard place to be in.
ReplyDeleteThis is a favorite, encouraging verse of mine:
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Ps. 37:4
I would also love to see myself as Heavenly Father does! Wow, wouldn't that give us the perspective we need? I'm sorry that your day has been crummy - I'd love to give you a hug if I was there. I know you'll pull out of this and feel that warm sun again! It seems like whenever we make our convictions know, that little tyrant devil does everything to thwart us. But that is only temporary as we have the power of the Almighty backing us up. Hang in there... you are strong and so worth it! :) Blessings your way...

ReplyDelete"If I could look through Your eyes, I'd see there's no way to impress You and I wouldn't even try. I'd stop trying to prove I'm worthy, and I'd take off the disguise, if I could look through Your eyes.
And I would see that I'm precious, and I would know that I am prized. I'd see Your love, never changes, if I could look through Your eyes. Lord, help me look through Your eyes."
Christine,
ReplyDeleteI don't know why your comments aren't making it. I do blog approval first, but I don't know what to tell you.
If you want to try and comment again with your email address I won't publish it, but I'll email you.
I'm sorry you are feeling down. I am glad you appreciate the need to recognize Heavenly Father's love for you and what he sees you can be. I know as we try to make His purpose and focus ours, we can do anything with his help and our effort together. You can do it!
