"The Lord makes firm the steps of those who delight in Him; though they stumble, they will not fall. For the Lord upholds them with His hand." ~Psalm 37:23-24

What do I have to give?

Lately the Lord has been showing me how much he has been using me as an example to the believers. I don't understand it. Honestly, I'm so much less than I want to be.

But it doesn't matter! I'm not called to look at myself and become the man I want to be, my whole lot in life is to let Him love me. Because we cannot love Him, unless He first loves us. We can only give what we receive.

And when we go and live life, forgetting our first Love, how can we receive? How can we hear his still small voice? How can we touch the world around us without the full empowerment of his love, and the full revelation of his affection?

We can't.

So, if we want to live life to the full, and receive all our Father wants to give us, and see him clearly and love him with everything...

We need to experience the fullness of his love.

Is there anything we can do to make him come and love us like that? Is there something we can give up, or something we can do to experience his heart every single moment of every single day?

One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 29:13:

"You will seek Me and you will find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."

Ask... and you WILL receive.
Seek... because He is to be found!
Knock... He will never turn you away!!!
