The longing
Good morning brothers and sisters. Have you ever had a longing in your heart? Have you ever known what you were meant to do? I have had this longing in my heart for over a year and it has to do with two words- CHANGE and MOVE! Now what does that mean? I don't know. I don't have the answers. I pray and pray! And most of the time it is my own way of thinking that has gotten me no further than when I started. I get impatient. I want to go NOW! This is going to sound crazy but I have always found it easy to study God's Word. It is something that comes natural to me. I have a way of giving of myself even to the point it hurts me. I LOVE people! I do! I want them to experience the joy that I have no matter what comes their way! I want people to know the Jesus I know. I don't want people to have the same hurts that I have felt. I want Christian folks to come together as one and raise our voices to the Heavenly Father and watch Him move in mighty big ways. Yes, there is a lot of I statements but that is the longing in my heart. I go to church and then I get in the same routine. I get restless. I wonder if that is where God needs me to be. I then think back to when I was filled and my cup was over-flowing and the love of Jesus was pouring out of me. It was when I was teaching people. Yes, I teach online but it is not the same. I don't have all the answers. But I know two things. I have to keep moving forward with the path that the Lord has laid out for me and keep working. I know that everything in the Bible was written for us to learn, apply and move forward. Romans 15:1-6. 1- We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2- Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. 3- For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me." 4- For whatever things were written before were written for our learning that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5- Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6- that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. That was the answer. ONE MIND AND ONE MOUTH! I have to get back to the path which God has set before me. The longing, not the restlessness! He doesn't want me idle. He wants me working. I don't know where but I know the longing is about to break forth. Are you with me? Let's move with one mind and one mouth! Jesus Christ! Have a blessed day! Rise up child of God, rise up!
