Falling in love all over again...

I am so in love with my Lord and Savior.  He always meets me where I am, and is constantly working in my life.  He is so steady and faithful.  Yesterday, I was talking to someone about where I was in my struggle with food, my emotions, my walk with the Lord.  I told her I felt like I was on the mountain, getting close to the top and God was working on the other side preparing my ram (symbolizing Abraham and Isaac and the ram God prepared for them as they obeyed Him).  This flooded my heart for the day.  I just could relate so well as I am endeavouring to obey the Lord in all that I do.  My redemption is at the top of the mountain.  I feel pretty awesome right now.  I can see how God is weaving together my story for others, and how I'm breaking through to the other side.  I feel freedom from so many things that have hindered me and held me back for years, and I give all glory, honor and praise to God for the work He is doing and has done in me. 

I am re-learning who I am in Christ.  If we know who we are in Christ, all that other stuff just doesn't affect us the same way.  In Christ, I am more than a conqueror.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  In Christ, I am blessed with every spiritual blessing.  In Christ, I have been given great and precious promises.  In Christ, I am redeemed and forgiven.  In Christ, I have been made righteous and am reconciled to God.  In Christ, I AM A NEW CREATION.  There are many more scriptures that show us who we are in Christ.  Praise God for the work He did through Christ to make us joint heirs with Him.  We inherited the promises of God when we became "in Christ", when we made Him our Lord, when we submitted to Him.

I spent over an hour in prayer yesterday, and it recharged my batteries and recharged my trust and complete confidence in Him.  He is so good.  He is so faithful and loving and true.  Get a hold of what has gotten a hold of you!  WOW!

  1. Chandra, I'm so happy for you on your journey with Christ. I love that you spent an hour in prayer with him. So often we get so busy we don't even consider that as an option. And yet, you did it, and have come out of it gushing with love for Him. There's nothing that builds a relationship like spending time with the one you love. I miss you this week and am looking forward to our next hand out time!
