Just with life---circumstances happens, fire of trials, or we getting wounded by a situation or a person, and we can scrub and scrub and scrub--however the hardness of that stuff is still there. And for me, I've just been doing life. It's not that I have forgotten about God--how can I? Sometimes instead of resting in His great heart for me and trusting in His marvelous goodness of who He is--I pick up control of my life again due to fear; or frustration; or getting hurt. And that creates a lot more energy to keep up than to just let God come in with His presence and His words to wash away the stains of the day.
Right now, I am sitting at Vineyard Church, listening to live worship session. I didn't realize how much my heart was harden or even desensitized to His presence. As I sit and listen and just be in His presence....I see the flakes of residue being removed. And He is not chipping away at it---as I sit here and just acknowledge Him and allow Him to love me----things are being removed. I don't know exactly what, but I know in the days to come--all that stuff I was worried about is going to be gone. I can get so caught up with the issues that need to be fix when He is not concerned with none of that stuff. He just want me to receive His love and be loved by Him. And simply just be with Him. I feel I am 20 to 30 pounds lighter than when I first came in here. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Jesus said take His yoke upon me. Well, if I've been carrying this than I wonder what is this yoke that He would like me to take of His.
