Christopher and I had an awesome talk the other night. We talked about hearing the voice of the Lord and responding to it. Jesus speaks. but do we listen? I talk to Jesus every day all day. the term constant companion is a reality of my everyday life when it comes to the Lord. I do find it interesting though that more times that not im chattering away. "Lord this and Lord that and oh ya did you know . . ." dont get me wrong Jesus wants to hear and loves to hear about our days, our worries, struggles, joys, hurts, trials and accomplishments. But when were all done talking we should listen to what Jesus wants to say. I need to put into practice sitting in silence at the feet of the Lord. I dont want to miss anything that He has to share with me.
Its so crazy because over the last few months God has done and is doing a work in my heart. I have come to know him leaps and bounds more than i did even a year ago. it really is crazy to think about. anyways we were talking and I asked Him that when He decides to bring a man into my life, that i would be oblivious until the He opens my eyes to that man. I dont want to persue anyone, I dont want to think about anyone, I just want me and jesus and people that encourage our relationship. I want to be a woman that is constantly seeking after God's heart. I want to be broken for those whom He is broken for. i want to have Joy over the the things He has joy over. I want to see people the way that He sees people. I want to speak love into their lives. The love of jesus that saves and heals and encourages and restores. I want to be grace and blessing In the lives of those around me, because i want them to understand that Jesus is Grace. I want all these things because I know that Jesus will be glorified in it. I want to Golrify my Jesus. I want to put a smile on His face evertime he looks at me. I never want to be the object of his dissapointment. I want to be the catipult for his blessing and joy.
When God does bring that man into my life, and opens my eyes to him, I want to be nothing less than all these things as well. I want to serve him - because in so doing, I will be serving the Lord. I want to be his confirmation of the Lord speaking. I want to be a blessing to his spirit and encourage him to walk more closely with Jesus; the closer that He is with Jesus then the closer I can be to him. I want to be a prophecy fulfilled in his life and I want nothing less than him to Know without a shadow of a doubt that the Lord has spoken us into life together. anything short of that, is short of what Jesus has for us. The Lord speaks if only we will listen. Sometimes he is silent - but He is only teaching us how we ourselves can be silent so that when He does say something - even a whisper is udeniable when you have been sitting in silence. The Lord knows what He is doing.
I will wait on Jesus. He knows my hearts desires, and He will give me the desires of my heart. I do not have to fear the actions of others because they do not determine my relationship with Jesus. My Hope is in Him and I trust in Him to carry out the promises He has given to me. No matter how long the wait - His answer is worth it.
