Good morning Saints.

I want to speak to you from my heart.  I remember years ago there was a bumper sticker that said God is my Co-Pilot and in my early years with the Lord that was the truth.  Today thankfully God is the Pilot and I am a passenger on this wonderful journey that will ultimately lead me to heaven !  When I was first born again I thought that all my problems would go away and that everything would instantly change.  How naive I was and how hopeful I was that I wouldn't have to do a thing to make those changes that God desired to see in me.  I was straddling the fence not fully trusting God to be the one I turned to for every need in my life.  As a result I spent the first few years of my walk with the Lord with one foot in his realm and one foot in the world.  I wanted to serve God and still be in the world. How foreign that thought seems to me today!  I lived on the milk of his word for quite a long time.  I am so thankful for God's unwavering patience with me.  Little by little God would reveal a little more of himself to me.  A few years passed with me just content to sit on the sidelines.  I was in a comfort zone unwilling to step out of it, yet I was very unsatisfied with what I looked on as God's failure to make my life a fulfilling one. ( again how naive I was)

Then came the day when I cried out saying Lord is this as good as it gets?  God revealed to me then the sin that I was deliberately keeping in my life was hindering my walk with him, keeping me separated from him, that he wanted only the best for me but I had tied his hands!  I wept and wept, even hung my head in shame.  I'm still a sinner saved by his grace and I sin daily though I strive to be all that God desires of me.  God in his mercy and grace showed me that what he desired most from me was obedience and to put him above all else in my life.  Every day I grow a little more in my walk.  I'm not where I want to be, but I'm farther along than yesterday and God willing I'll be further along tomorrow than I am today.  God desires your obedience and a deeper relationship with you.  He desires only the best for you.  I encourage you to go deeper and deeper seeking revelation knowledge in his word.  God loves you and so do I 

   Just to let you all know I'm subbing for Luanne this morning . . .  ><> Robin
