Where the Lord is leading me
13 years ago
This has been on my heart since this weekend and Monday ignited the fire even more- I co-host a group and as a part of our study we are going through Philippians with our church....
Anyways, here are the verses that have been on my heart.
Pilippians 1:3-11
3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7 It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8 For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9 And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10 so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God."
I want to thank all of you who have given encouragement, love, kindness, gentleness, laughter, deep theological discussions, as well as derpyness and much more to me since I have been on FA and since I have known you. I honestly cant express how much you all mean to me.
I am so excited to get to know each one of you better one here through chats, cons, whatever comes down the road.
I seriously....from the deepest part of my heart love you guys and gals -vs 8 says " For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus" after prayer of what that means...I still honestly know I dont have it all down - however what I have come up with is a love that regardless of anything and everything you can imagine - I have such LOVE for you all...that it makes me sad that we all cant be in the same place at all times to enjoy each others company - however I know that God has it this way for a reason - whether it be to truly enjoy the times we can hang out and be derps or for whatever other reason.
So it is my prayer - like Paul - that you all may know the love of Jesus Christ - that your love for Him may grow more than you have felt possible. That you may thirst for His Word and for time with Him - to - honestly - the point that it pains you when you are not able to be in His Word (for this I have felt to be wonderful in its own context for several reasons - ask me personally and I will explain further) , that you may fall asleep talking to Him and walk up talking to Him (something He himself put on my heart this past weekend - a new experience that was....awe inspiring). That through these things and more you may be connected to Him in a new way and hear His voice, His Words of wisdom, feel the Holy Spirit... that He may be constantly purifying your heart for the day of His return.
I cant say it enough....I love you guys and gals...
I know this is lengthy...but if you have read through it - please dont thank me for anything that may speak to you....please thank God because He has put this on my heart...and I dont want recognition for any of this. I also ask your forgiveness for any typos in this...it is late.
With all the Love of Christ Jesus that I currently comprehend and that leaves me in awe,
-Creda-
