That was it...she was gone. Amber walked through that security gate, and she was truly in the hands of Christ. Even though I was crying like a girl, I was happy that finally we would have an opportunity to be alone with Christ. It was then that I turned around and stared at the exit door of the airport. There waiting for me outside was Jesus Christ with open arms. He was smiling even though I was crying. He said, "I've been longing for this moment for so long. It's me and you. I'm going to cleanse your wound, and I'm going to give you the plans I have for you. It may hurt at first, but in the end I will bless you beyond imagination." Now, I cried the rest of the day! LOL! But the pain I felt was a different pain. It was the pain of peace. I think so many people are afraid to enter that narrow gate with Christ because of the fear of discovering the wound that they have again. I know my wound has effected my life drastically. When I say wound I mean anything from your past that has blocked off the intentions God has for you. I can tell you though that the pain I felt yesterday was so much different. I'm starting to see Christ in places I never saw Him before. I'm lonely, but God intended for me to be right now. Sure he's put people in my life, but for once it's my Daddy who I'm leaning on. What is your wound? Are you afraid of the pain? Would you be willing to look at that wound again so that God could cleanse it? God has wonderful plans for those who recognize that Christ is worthy of every aspect of their lives even when they're lonely. Is Christ calling out to you?
Those whose hope is in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint! -Isaiah 40:31
....the call of life is intimacy with our Father. The question is will we do whatever it takes to become who he promises to form us into? Will we realize what really matters? Break me Father until there's nothing but you in me. That's all I want....
