... The Holy and the Horrible???

....spent the last 4 days focusing on my faith and sharing it with friends.. worshipping, with my heart on my sleeves as always, drinking in His love. More convinced than ever that I am on the right path...the concert was a real treat...out of this world...  :)


Learned so much at the women's retreat, what an amazing speaker we had, never met a more genuine and humble woman, confirming what I have been learning in the last years... especially the last 14 months.


The Holy and the Horrible...what an interesting topic. The Holy God of the Universe...the Maker of Heaven and Earth, The One who sent His only begotten Son to this earth to endure the ultimate suffering and to give His life so that we could be reconciled to Our Father in Heaven, He, the Father is orchestrating the conflicts and tragedies in our life to make us into His likeness, restoring us  back to what He had made us to be in the first place.


...Jesus, knowing what was going to happen pleaded with His Father and asked that the cup would be removed if at all possible... He was in agony and pain, felt left alone by His disciples that could not even stay awake and pray as He had asked them...He surrendered His will and embraced the Father's will, fixing His eyes on what the sacrifice of His life would bring to us, the healing we in our fallen state would need.

As the Father uses the hurt and pain that the brokenness of this world inflicts on us, He walks with us through it, staying with us in the turmoil, empathizing with the numbness, the grief and the anger and helping us to let go and find the healing He has for us...


As our wounds are being healed, we are becoming closer to our Saviour than we have ever been.. we are learning how much we are needing Him and nothing is more precious to us than knowing Him more, in His sufferings and in His victory..

Our core longings are being met, walking so closely we can see the way He looks into our eyes...we know He loves us, because he faithfully has been staying with us... could it be that He considers us worthy of His love and even His own life? 


How wonderful that this truth might penetrate our hearts and maybe one day we will believe it fully...


Wondering what you have for me Lord... driving home, still soaring on Eagle's Wings I received some texts and had 2 phone calls....more pain and conflict...I guess I was asking for it when I stated that one thing I learned is to face my life with open arms inviting the pain, because it makes me draw even closer to the Lover of my Soul, my Redeemer and best friend... He will never let me down..


Thank you, Lord...
