Sitting with the Lord…

Sitting with the Lord this morning and finding such comfort in Him. I don’t know if you have sat quietly with the Lord long enough to sense His overwhelming love for you but there’s nothing in this world that can compare. I’ve self medicated my pain and problems in the past before thinking if I could just not feel anything. When in fact we are designed to “feel.” Emotions are not meant to be buried or stifled. Nor are they meant to control us. Emotions whether positive or negative within balance can produce healthy responses.

As a believer, my pain propels me to the foot of the cross where I can exchange my burdens for rest in Jesus.

There I find joy and peace on a level I have never known before. There I learn new facets of my Father’s character that were once a mystery to me. There He becomes Jehovah Ropheka – Lord my Healer and he heals the deepest parts of my soul that self medication can’t reach. There I come away lifted to new heights of intimacy and revelation in Christ that put the cares of this world in perspective. There I am exposed to profound truth that sets me free. There I come away lighter and stronger. There I find life and life more abundantly. There I am consumed with an Agape Love so pure and so sweet that suddenly my pain turns to joy! I am complete in Him and I am victorious once again! Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!
