Heart Series 2a

H I M cont...
So what about the other days?  When your vision is blurred and you struggle to see.  The obvious answer if you are a Christ-follower is to lean on your faith.  To hang-on for a better day.
Isn't there better than this?  I question.
Longing for more than the leaning and the hanging.....
yearning for a love that is deep and rich?
Beautiful is what it sounds. 
Holy.
A marriage that is rooted in Christ is just that......beautiful and holy. 
It is the getting there that trips us and casts those doubts.  Bringing the hard days.
And the journey is what makes the life....and the love.  This getting there.
Becoming lost along the way,
We find ourselves surviving instead of thriving.
Striving instead of loving.
Doing instead of being.

And there we are scrapping at what little is left for ourselves
let alone loving a man.  Making a marriage.

For me it's when I capture the moment......
              my thoughts
              emotions
              disappointments
Empty it all
and lay tenderly before my Savior. 
And as the Message translation of 2 Corinthians 10:5 says-
fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ

Only words needed are those of thanksgiving..praise as I breath still before Him.

And as I move towards the life shaped by Christ, everyday, those trips and doubts lessen. 
Transforming me.
Freeing me to love.
Finding what I have longed for.

Maybe today you step towards a deeper love
fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ

Find a place of solitude.  Quiet before God.
Emptying it all.
