-Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him, and he [will eat] with Me.-
(Revelation 3:20)
Hey Neighbor!
It’s Another Flashback Friday!!
I was hoping to share the second portion of My cousins ‘important paper’ search: Take Off Your Cape and Rest in Christ’s Cape-ability.
But since it seems to have disappeared from my previously published posts, I decided to share this one instead.
It might seem a little graphic to some, but it’s time to stop sugar coating the truth!!
It’s time for real talk…with real Christians!!
Enjoy🤩
*********************************************
My 5 year old son, Hubie has a habit of yelling at our 14 year old daughter, Allie…in total rebellion to her attempts to redirect him.
He Screams…
“Allie!! I can have WHATEVER I WANT!!”
Wow!!
Listen to the cry of the flesh!!
I know You hear it too!!
…those ear-shattering screams…coming from within Your soul…Crying Out,
“Give me EVERYTHING I want!!”
Give Me chocolate…
Buy me shoes…
Satisfy my sexual cravings…etc, etc…
Give me Everything I want!!!
But Why So Loud??
Well, The Flesh is attempting to drown out the humble cries of the Holy Spirit…Who is gently attempting to redirect Us…and get Us back on the right track with God.
He reminds Us that overindulging in chocolate will only make Us fat…
And those shoes will make Our ‘dogs bark’…
And sex- outside of marriage – will make Us itch and burn!!
Lol!!
The Holy Spirit is right there…gently urging Us to set Our sights on something greater than that which this world can offer…on those things that give Us eternal fulfillment…and on Someone Who can fill Our hearts with all that we thought was missing…and more!!
See Neighbor…Your heart does not have a hole shaped like a Hershey’s bar…nor does it have a shoe-shaped hole…and no style of sex can penetrate this hole. Lol!!
Why??
Because this hole that We all have been foolishly trying to fill is a Jesus-Shaped Hole‼️
Behold…Jesus is standing at the door of Your heart, knocking….
Can You hear Him??
Then…Go Ahead and Welcome Him In, and Give Him first place in your life..
Let His Holy Spirit Lead, Guide, and Direct You into All Truth…and Teach You to set Your sights on an Eternal life with Jesus in Heaven…
Where Ultimately…
You Will Have EVERYTHING That You Want!!
-Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need-
(Matthew 6:33)
