The Lord speaks to us all the time. It is up to us to stop and listen. When we feel we are being abandoned by God or are not feeling close to God, I believe it is our own guilt of our sin making us feel separated. In order to experience God's peace in our life, we must make peace with God. He loves us and He forgives us. We know this and yet we continue to beat ourselves up thinking we are not worthy of God's grace. But He tells us by His stripes we are healed. He was beaten and crucified for our transgressions, so for anyone continuing to think they are not worth His dying for or worth His forgiveness, is being deceived by the enemy. The bible is true and when I read Isaiah 53:5 it states that "His punishment has brought us peace". Honor the cross! Honor Him! Take the attention off of you. All feelings of guilt, unworthiness, and condemnation are really our own acts of selfishness and idolatry. For we are placing our self before the Lord and what He did for us at Calvary. But our wondrous and loving Father knows our heart and knows our true intentions therefore He forgives us and we now need to forgive our self. You will not be able to move forward in the Spirit if you allow yourself to hold on to all that junk. Leave it at the altar and make this the first day of your new thinking and allow His mercy on your life. Live in His presence. Live in His peace! Live in His promise!
