How are we to recognize our sin unless God points it out to us? When He shows us, we can then repent and be forgiven. I claim this prayer for my life and I ask the Lord to search my heart and my thoughts and to reveal the sin in my life so that I can be on God's "way everlasting". The Lord is always ready to speak to us; it is up to us to listen. He interrupts my thoughts all the time to encourage me and sometimes to scold me. He gets angry with me when I doubt or when I grow frustrated and will show me a glimpse of life without Him in it and it immediately gets me on the straight and arrow. Life without Jesus is not an option so when He reveals to me my careless thoughts or my controlling nature it is to keep me on His way everlasting. The hardest thing as a believer is to stay strong, focused, faithful and hopeful everyday in every way. And if anyone tells you differently, they are not being truthful. I would never have my life any other way for I know my future is secure and I am in God's frame and no one can harm me, but it is hard to let go and surrender of yourself and not try to control things on your own. Especially when the Lord is taking His time in getting things done. We grow impatient and grow tired and we tend to interfere but with God we must not waiver but stand strong and true. So as I grow in Him, I learn more about myself. I no longer ask God to change others but instead I ask Him to change me. I want to grow mature in Spirit and reflect more of Him than of myself. So I seek His counsel and I am not afraid of what He will say to me. And neither should you. Our lives will only improve and grow bountiful. He wants you to seek His face and listen to His voice for He has much to say.....all you have to do is be still.
