I just want you to know something my heart this morning. I want to share with you what the Lord worked in my heart yesterday evening. It set me free from the desire to be accepted by others. I want you to know something... there is nothing more desireable than to be wholeheartedly understood by someone. That is what we yearn for in life is to be accepted and understood.
I have always wanted to be accepted by those I call my friends and those I called mentors. There is nothing more satisfying to me than to be understood. The Lord dealt with me one night last week to vow to understand people even when I am not understood. I may never be understood completely by my peers, but I am content with that because our relationships will continue to grow until the coming of Jesus Christ. THAT is adventure!
I was listening to a Kenneth Hagin series earlier today and a verse absolutely jumped out at me in a new context that I have never really seen before.
Romans 8:31, ´´ If God be for us, what difference does it make who is against us?´´
When you see that verse in the setting of being accepted or rejected by others; it´ll change your life. That was the root of my insecurities, why I thought I was always the one in the wrong when someone else had a problem, and why I thought my identity was based on what other people thought about me. I was indirectly raised to think that way, which is why I had such an issue with that in my life.
We have a bible School here that is every night from Monday to Thursday and we have 30 minutes of prayer prior to starting the schoool every night. As the staff and some others were praying here, the Holy Spirit showed up in such a marvelous way that He healed my brokenheart in thsi arena. It was like He took my heart in His hands like never before, rearranged my focus from people to Him. I put my focus on Him and it is staying there fr all of eternity. I finally understand how much Jesus, my best friend, understands me for who I am and who He created me to be. It so good to have Him as my best friend.
Psalms 131:2, ´´... I quiet my soul like a weined child desiring his mother´s milk...´´
That scripture is a perfect example of how the Holy Spirit helped me in understanding that Jesus Christ, my best friend, understands me. That is all I have ever wanted in my life was to be understood and accepted. I found that in Jesus. I want you to know that no matter what a person says, your relationship will always continue to grow with them because you are always learning new things about one another, but Jesus knows everything about you and understands you perfectly.
Jesus is not a high and mighty ´´being´´in heaven floating on Cloud Nine. Did you know Jesus is flesh and blood in Heaven right now? The Lord, who died for my sins, and was risen form the dead, also ascended on high from the earth on his body. He did not leave His body and go to heaven. He went to heaven with His body.
MARK 16:19, ´´ So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and
sat down at the right hand of.´´
It is so reassuring to have someone, who has known me before birth, genuinely understand me for I am and who I was created to be. It is so comforting because that is all I needed to give my full attention to understanding others first before wanting themto understand me. I hope you understand that you are understood and accepted by Jesus for who He created you to be. He understands you.
I can now vow to understand others first before wanting them to understand me because I know God understands me. I hope this gives you a better understanding of how much jesus, my best friend, knows about you, cares for you, accepts you, and understands you.
If you do not have have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour or if you think you are going to heaven for any other reason than having Jesus as your Saviour, pray this prayer with me also because you need to have a genuine relationship with God:
Romans 3:23, ´´ All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God...´´
- Ephesians 2:8, ´´ For you are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift.´´Romans 10:nine-10, ´´ If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, Jesus is risen from the dead, you will be saved.´´
Dear Father God,
Thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross specifically for me and rasing Him from the dead so I can have eternal life and peace with You. Please take my life and use it for meaningfully for Your glory and rid me of all sorrow. Thank you for choosing me before the foundations of the world.
In Jesus´ Name,
Amen!
You have just made the best decision of your entire life!!!
Please email me when you have prayed this prayer and let me know how your life has been changed!
