Alyssa into my hands - to care for her, to raise her to know You, to learn to
hear Your voice, to one day return back to You. I ask for Your help,
Your guidance, Your wisdom. I want to present You with a daughter one day that
has made You proud with her life. I pray for protection and long life for
Alyssa. May Your hand of blessing and favor follow her everywhere she
goes. I commit her once again to You - that she would live a life
unashamed of You - a life recklessly abandoned to Your will...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to stop. It's impossible to love
God with all of our heart, mind, soul, body, and strength, if we don't give Him
all of it. Secrets in any relationship destroy intimacy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need to expose to Him the things He
already sees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will open our ears to
hear Him more clearly to what He is saying to us. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
grants Him permission to begin to heal and adjust our mindsets that don’t align
with His. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won't pull His love from
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won’t ignore us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He won’t mistreat us when we become
vulnerable to Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can trust Him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

remains hidden can’t be fixed. When a spill is not dealt with or is carelessly
spot cleaned, damage is done. In order to fix the
"spills" in our lives, we have to confront them head on by allowing
God to shine His healing presence on our condition. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When our "free will" chooses to let
God in, He then has something to work with. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to trust that whatever He tells us is for our benefit and the benefit of
others. Trust Him that even if what He tells us is painful at the moment,
it is always for our greater good. He may require you to rip out the
flooring to get to the damage. You will be working alongside the Carpenter
of your soul to tear out and restore a messy foundation. Not an easy
task. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> It will be un</span>comfortable. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will be ugly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It

Him to do some rearranging because He will. He won't always do what
we are comfortable with because His ways are different, but
they are right. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
purpose is always to get you to the side of His will for you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The process isn't always a quick work, but
anything rushed is rarely done well.</span></span></div>

free. We often learn to function in dysfunction - emotional, mental,
physical, spiritual - becoming so accustomed to bondage that we settle
with the condition. </span><span style="font-family: "abadi" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "abadi" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">You
are meant for so much more. Going through the motions of life isn't
living. It's time to quit settling! It's time to stop
seeing yourself through the lens of your past. It's time to
stop defaulting back to the familiar because it's what your mind has been
conditioned to. It's time to aspire beyond limits others have
led you to believe that you have. It's time to make a decision. </span><br />

and reposition. Your environment, your choice of entertainment, or the
people you surround yourself with may have to change in order for you
to blossom into all you were created you to be. You may
want what's best for others, but not everyone wants what is best
for you. Our choices deeply matter. Life is too short to remain
indecisive. Don't let not making a decision become your decision. Lost time
can't be purchased back.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "tunga" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">As I walked one afternoon, I began meditating on a couple of scriptures that may be quite familiar to some of you: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "tunga" , "serif"; font-size: 14pt;">God loved us smack dab in the middle of our sin. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He demonstrated His love while we rejected Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He poured His life out as an offering with the chance we may never love Him back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why would He lay Himself down for us in the midst of our wickedness?

domino effect - that the saving message and love of Jesus would spread like wild fire!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"><img alt="Image result for love my anti fear" class="rg_ic rg_i" data-sz="f" height="207" jsaction="load:str.tbn" name="DCXBi-4L5XLH1M:" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS96uZYy69gOqrSts9zkL2u8tC0fS5zu8PxNQ-RoiThKI5oS55aYA" style="height: 102px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 314px;" width="640" /></span><br /> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">We are all well acquainted with the emotion that bears a choke hold. It's ruthless. It's torment. It's an enemy to faith, a thief that robs you of life - imprisons you to a false reality. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Anxiety, depression, doubt, worry, hurt, anger, sadness, low self-esteem, unworthiness, hatred, prejudice. It comes disguised underneath many different emotions, but it all comes down to one thing:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms";">FEAR.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">The paralysis for some is the dread of what could happen years down the road, anxiety associated with an unpredictable economy, and for many it is the torment of what today, the next hour, the next minute will bring. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms";">"...fear has torment." <span style="color: black; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">1 John 4:18a</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Fear is not only an emotion, but a spiritual force. It is very similar to faith in that both have an unshakable belief in an unseen future. Fear trusts circumstances, natural predictions, the enemy's lies, and self. Faith trusts God and what His Word says. Fear is negative faith. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">Fear is an enemy of God. It in essence rips Him of His lordship in our lives. We become self focused and not God focused. We put our trust in the wisdom of man rather than in the power of God <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">(1 Cor. 2:5)</span></span>. We no longer see Him for Who He is and who He desires to be in our lives... He solely becomes a gateway to Heaven, but in our day to day living He is diminished to a dusty figure placed on a shelf. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms";">God is love, and the Bible says that Perfect Love casts out fear. God is THAT perfect love. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"There is no fear in love (dread does not exist), but perfect love turns fears out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment. He who is afraid has not fully experienced His perfect love." <span style="color: black; font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">1 John 4:18</span></span></span></div>

Your love is our freedom. Your love removes shackles. Your love delivers us from all fear. You are not what our circumstances look like. You are not what the latest trends define You as. We commit to growing in the knowledge of who You truly are as defined in Your Word, and through that knowledge - growing in intimacy with You... We know that in experiencing that intimate love - fear has no more room in our lives. Thank You for Your love and the hope and peace it brings.</span></div>

Every season has an end, but we can't rush it along and make it happen in our timing and in our way. Running out in shorts in the dead of winter doesn't change the season! We have to trust and cooperate with the ONE who is working for our good even in the hardest of circumstances. “He makes everything beautiful in its time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) </span></span></div>

Wearing a snowsuit in the summer, we face the agony of overheating. When we force ourselves into a season that is over, we suffer pain because God is no longer in that season. He is a NOW God... He heals the pain of the past, but He doesn't dwell there. Don't try thrusting yourself into the next season either. The current one is preparing you for it :)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Pride is a repellant for
a healthy relationship. Its very presence shuts those around us down. It sprays
out unspoken venom that says "You're inadequate and will never measure up to
my perfection. Your opinion does not matter. You will always be a little lower
than me. Don’t oppose my thoughts or I will reject or withhold from you.” </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Prideful people won't
admit it, but they don't want to hear about someone else's success. It repulses
them. They choke on seeing anyone else succeed or possibly stand out brighter
than themselves. They can frequently talk about themselves and their
accomplishments but if someone else does "they are too into
themselves." When sharing about yourself or another person, one with pride
often will overtake the conversation by "one-upping" or somehow turning the conversation back to themselves where the
initial subject matter somehow vanishes. When others fail or struggle, pride is relentless and does not hold back its spear of judgement. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Prideful people belittle,
argue, always have an opposing argument (not allowing others the right to their
own opinions without snide remarks or looks of disgust), cause dissensions,
make light of other's pain, lack compassion, struggle with sincere apologies,
always an excuse for their wrongdoing, and silence is a rare act. (1Timothy
6:4, Proverbs 11:12)</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">5. God Himself opposes us
(James 4:6)</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">9. Clean in their own

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">10. Become fools (Romans
1:22)</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">For the sake of your
reading time, I will stop there, but the Scriptures are seemingly endless on
the subject. Fact of the matter is, if we don't pay close attention and deal
with the pride in our lives, God will. Rather than having the very One we need
on our side, we place ourselves on His opposing team. Remember Lucifer? He was
cast out of God's presence because of what? His pride. God resists the proud. I
don't know about you, but I do not want Him pushing me but rather pulling me to
Himself.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This unapproachable,
unteachable bubble we are encompassed in will ultimately kill everything around
us. The very one we exalted above others and their feelings will be all we are
left with (Proverbs 12:9). It's scriptural and it's no joking matter. Better to
humble ourselves than to be humbled by God. (Luke 14:11)</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Father, our pride keeps us from hearing You. It keeps us from
learning. It keeps us from healthy relationships. It shuts others out. It
causes us to ignore the needs of others and become calloused to their
pains.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It blinds us from seeing others
as You do. It makes us zero in on their wrongdoings and have a “they deserve it”
mentality. We fail to realize that we too deserve nothing in and of
ourselves, but because of Your mercy, you have blessed us anyway. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "euphemia" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We choose today to humble ourselves, to compare ourselves to
Your perfection rather than to the accomplishments or lack thereof of
others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We want a true change in our
hearts, Lord… not a false humility where we get in the “ditch” and go the other
direction with a “Woe is me. I’m a worthless sinner.” We know that is not Your
will either. We can be confident in You and what You do through us as long as
it is never at the expense of hurting others or making light of what You are
doing in them as well. We need Your help, Lord. We submit to Your ways and ask
You to reveal to us when pride rears its ugly head. We want it completely
eradicated from our lives in Jesus’ Name. Amen.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 12pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Burdened by life's challenges. Overwhelmed by surrounding pressures. Moments of anxiety convincing you that "down" is the only direction your life will spiral... <br />
<br />
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This Scripture, so simple and yet so difficult. It's hard for us to wrap our minds around surrendering what appears insurmountable to someone else. Our worry gives us a twisted sense of control and we can't fathom victory in our lives apart from our own efforts. I mean after all this is BIG stuff we're faced with, but all of the stress and loss of sleep isn't quite working for us, is it? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Be still. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOaCdx7lG0PhmeRnmolyw3I0qld9uwohWKiw3wP-GX05xnmEURFuvEalOitVdzPZNi5t7zW6N5mSqjWVRnkWWqMdIsJ0S0f-0y25DEclMhMmgZ9oNoOVO2iwN9bcah_m_TLDpIRsAOFjk6/s1600/Let+God.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="267" data-original-width="183" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOaCdx7lG0PhmeRnmolyw3I0qld9uwohWKiw3wP-GX05xnmEURFuvEalOitVdzPZNi5t7zW6N5mSqjWVRnkWWqMdIsJ0S0f-0y25DEclMhMmgZ9oNoOVO2iwN9bcah_m_TLDpIRsAOFjk6/s200/Let+God.png" width="136" /></a><span style="font-size: large;">Part of the literal translation is "to let drop, let go, cease from striving, release." We need to drop our hands from fruitless, fleshly efforts, let go of the worry that torments our minds, tune out the other voices, and just release it to Him. KNOWING that He is God takes the pressure off of our shoulders to be in control, and allows Him to take over supernaturally. We need to get ourselves out of the way; lay back in His arms and know He's got this taken care of; that He only wants what's best for His child. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">

<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Yes, the giants in our life are big, but our Daddy is bigger! <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">Is it merely a rule to live by? Is it a way to prove our love for God? Do we do it in hopes for a "blessed life?" Surely loving others should be an attribute of those who say they love God, and there are indeed blessings in obedience, but ultimately all guidelines that God lays out for us are laced with an eternal purpose much bigger than ourselves. </span></strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">The way we live our lives isn't only about us. It isn't about being able to put a check mark on the clean conscience section of our Christianity. It isn't even about hearing one day, "Well done, you good and faithful servant." It's about people. It's about every single person that God so chooses to cross our paths. Starting in our homes with our spouse and children and stretching through every phone conversation, email exchange, and our day to day interactions. All people. We love others and do good because it is the right thing to do, yes, but also because in doing so it touches lives... for Him. </span></strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">When Jesus walked the earth, He presented a way of living among the people that reflected the Father. This God they read about, this God they heard about... Jesus brought a visual of who that God was. He came with a face to show He is a reachable God; making Himself available to all who called upon Him. He came with skin to reveal He is a touchable God. He came as a friend to confide in, and yet a servant that ultimately laid down His life for not only His friends, but for those who rejected Him.</span></strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">We are called to do the same. We are to put a face to the God we serve to everyone we encounter in life. Our interaction with others is so far beyond doing right and being a nice person. It is for the sake of THAT person. We may never know on this side of Heaven what our influence will do, but it is so worth it. Allowing God to shed His love upon others through us, what a privilege and responsibility to take seriously.</span></strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal;">Think about this! Those who lowered the Apostle Paul through the window to escape the death threat on his life were actually letting down 13 books of the Bible! You never know the affect you have when you do something to help or encourage another... Your act of love could reshape one's entire future. A generational domino effect! :)</span></strong><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "corbel" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">He knew her. He knew her pain. He knew her past. He knew her present. At that very moment,
Jesus became the face of the Father that loves us no matter how stained
and soiled we are. Right smack dab in the middle of her mess,
He initiates a relationship with her. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "corbel" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This woman knew all about religion and the law. I’m sure her
family taught her the rules and traditions of what "worship" was to
look like. Yet her heart still ached. There was a void that wasn't
being filled by knowing all the right things to say and do. She probably
mastered the "art" of appearing religious, while maintaining
a hidden lifestyle. She grew to understand that acceptance and
love are only given when you act a certain way and maintain a certain
look. Yet Jesus comes along and shows her another way. He wasn’t
interested in her weekly "timecard punch” at church, her singing a few
songs, her fluent Christian lingo, or her proper and polite speech... He
wanted her eyes to be opened to true worship. Worship is about Him having all
of her, and her having all of Him. True worship is birthed out of relationship.

want you to know that I love you regardless of yourself. I know all your
weaknesses and sin struggles, and I still love you. I already know that
apart from My Spirit you cannot fix it yourself. It’s out of a love
relationship with Me where your true freedom is found. Stop trying.
Stop beating yourself up because you keep messing up. The more you
drink of My life-giving water, you will learn how to just be. It
won't be striving anymore for you. The only "doing" you need is
to stay close to Me. Staying close to Me is what worship is all
about. As I pour into you, who I've created you to be
will come out naturally."</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "neucha"; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Andalus; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Oftentimes, we are so driven to a life of perfection and self willpower that our "repentance" to God becomes a method. It becomes about us; OUR feeling "a clean slate," OUR feeling "right," OUR success driven thinking to personally have victory over sin. In doing so, we miss the real point of repentance: An opportunity to connect with the very One whose heart we grieved. A time to reflect on Who enables us to overcome. A turning of direction. A moment of embrace. A beautiful occasion to hear, “<span style="color: #990000;">You and I are okay</span>.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">Walking through a "year round" Christmas store, I couldn't help but notice all the varieties of Christmas villages on display.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From afar, they looked nice; caught my eye, but when I really got up close and saw all of the intricacies of each individual piece, it made the display that much more beautiful and appreciated.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">I began to think about our lives and how all too often we look at the BIG picture and miss the "little" things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Years pass us by and all we can account for is eating, sleeping, and paying the bills - a life of what appears mundane when you look through it with surface vision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">Day after day we acknowledge the <em>existence</em> of people, places, and things, but fail to notice their beauty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We grow weary concentrating on what we don't have and miss out on the enjoyment of what is right at our fingertips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We get so stuck in our routines that we sacrifice relationships both in our homes and beyond the four walls.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">Looking at the villages, I was also reminded of a couple verses in Psalm 139. "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it."</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">When an artist puts detail into his creation: a painting, a sculpture, a writing, it is placed there for a purpose... for the observer to take notice; to find enjoyment in the beauty and uniqueness of it.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">God is the Master Creator, the Master Artist, and He is into detail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everything He has ever created is an authentic masterpiece made for not only His pleasure but for ours! Our job is to slow down to find the joy in the NOW. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">Let’s stop merely glancing over the big picture of life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hit the “zoom” button and you’ll discover what a fleeting look will never see.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></span></div>

Quit being satisfied with the pet answer of, "It's going good," and begin to really care about people. Care about them deeply. Set aside your selfish, patterned day and allow for interruptions. In time, it just may dawn on you that they were not interruptions at all. These were the moments of true living like God intended. </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="font-size: small;">Seize opportunities to share life together and be an encouragement to one another. Quit waiting for an "easier" or “more convenient” stage of life to live in the now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before you know it, the chance you had is over and everything gets pushed off for a future that never comes.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><strong></strong></span></span> </div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“…the veil of the temple was torn in two.” (Luke 23:45)</span><br /><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"></span><br /><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Ultimately the veil has already been torn for our free access to God, where we can come BOLDLY to Him, but we are well learned in hanging up our own self constructed veils that keep us from confidently approaching Him.</span><br /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I see Jesus, just the lower half of Him, in a white robe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> His hands outstretched beckoning one to come to Him…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A woman, behind a white veil – sheepishly pokes her head around to see Him. She knew Him. He knew her. That was evident. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">As she made her way to Him, there were rows of veils to maneuver around. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each veil had a name such as shame, hurt, bitterness, resentment, anger, guilt, abuse, abandonment; all in which were blocking her from coming to Him FULLY. She longed to be with Him, but these veils…</span></div>
<br /><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">She loves Him and is in relationship with Him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is a worshipper, but she only presents to Him the “pretty” parts - ashamed of those unhealed, dark areas of her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We think these veils protect us. We shy away because of shame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We even unconsciously doubt His acceptance of us. We've allowed the image of our worth to be molded by the pain we've experienced and the people in our lives that have rejected us for who we are. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The most intimate relationships are born out of being vulnerable to share your whole “story.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why He is calling.
