Wow! What a year 2010 was. Here are just a few of the many longings I expressed in my postings this year.
I long to be obedient.
I long to be a person of true and sincere intercession.
I long to reflect His character.
I long to walk and talk with Him for eternity.
I long to enjoy freedom, His freedom, to the max--
I long to be totally genuine, with no trace of hypocrisy.
I long to dance.
I long to know Him more through scripture.
and the list goes on and on-------
And I was sincere in what I wrote~~
As I lay all my longings out before Him and before you, dear friend,
You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh. from Psalm 38
(This was the scripture from which I took my theme for 2010)
I have come to believe more than ever
That He is here
To fulfill them all--
To make me what I desire
Only because of the Holy Spirit's longings
He has placed in my heart--
And now...............
Am I willing to accept that
He is willing
To live His life through me,
To go beyond my wildest dreams and expectations,
To live out through me the Person He IS--
Not that I become like Him--that was what satan desired--
But that I wholly, beyond my wildest capabilities,
Give myself and my will freely to Him,
So that He can exhibit His character through me,
He can intercede through me--
He can write through me--
He can dance through me--
He can bless through me--
But only if I live beyond myself~~
And so it is that through the leadership of God's Spirit, I christen 2011
All glory to God~
