I am amazed at all he teaches me these days....

Embrace your Destiny and walk in His Grace - He is your Strength when you are weak, He lifts you up when you can't reach.....

Hello my dear dear friends - God is so good, ALL the TIME - I am simply blown away by all that he teaches me these days.....one very profound thing, that I just realized the other day, is that truly God sees the heart, the motivations, whereas people only see the actions, yet they will give the action a spin of where they are in their lives, what they own experiences have been, and not just objectively look at your actions. God will grow you into mature children of God, in his time - meaning, that we will be brother's and sisters to Christ, once we have learnt what we were meant to learn here on earth - and this is simply, to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. 

You might remember, that this January I got a tattoo saying exactly that - I used the Bible verse of Proverbs, that says the same thing: Proverbs 3:5-6 - once we have learnt that, he will take us to adventures, you could never ever have dreamt up yourself - he will challenge you, because a lot of what he is going to ask you to do, is very controversial to today's society.....but if you trust him with all your heart, obey his command at all times, he will truly lift you up on wings like eagles.

I cannot talk about some of the things he has asked me to do......but let me assure you, more often than not, I am tempted to say: Oh no, God, I can't do that.....what will my neighbour or the people around me think - but then, when I choose to obey, he lifts me up on wings like eagles - today I fear neither reproach nor criticism of my fellowman anymore, because I know, he has been an outcast in his time - the Pharisees didn't like his teaching, since it was extremely radical and didn't line up with what they were teaching. Well, I can assure you, that was true then, as much as it is true today - but
a) he will protect your integrity, he will sanctify you every step of the way, and
b) he will use you mightily (John 14:12) - for we are called to do the same things that Jesus did, and even greater things.

He literally sends me places, I had not planned to go, just because there is someone, that he might want to touch, reach through me. And remember, he sat with the tax payers, the sinners of all categories - as he came to save the lost - even Paul says in his letter to the Corinthians, that when he was with the gentiles, he found common ground, to interact with them, so that they could relate. I find this exceedingly true to where he leads me.....especially regarding my tattoos - it's so easy to say something encouraging to someone having a tattoo, when you have one yourself, and they will have a much easier time, to believe, you really mean it.

Often God reveals insight regarding the people I encounter, sometimes he doesn't but I know, whatever it is, he will put the words into my mouth, that these people need to hear. He never leaves me stranded and I am most grateful, for being used this way - that all that I do, would bring Glory to his name, as this is what I want to do every day of my life - be his instrument of Love, Grace and Mercy!!! And he surely has granted me this desire of my heart.

I am praying, my friends, that you would let him use you like that - the blessings, that come with being obedient at the onset, are tremendous, mind you I am not doing it for the blessings, I am doing it, because I cannot be out of his will anymore, but I don't mind to receive them - and it saves us a tremendous amount of tears, suffering and pain, if we obey immediately. He is God Almighty and he will never ever let go of any of his children.....he can't stop loving us, just like #JoshGroban sings in his song of his latest CD 'All that Echoes': Happy in My Heartache - He can't stop loving you, that's his nature, that's who he was, who he is, and who he will be for eternity.

May your day be blessed, and may you fully understand, who you are in him: A Victor for Christ, A Warrior for the Kingdom, A Knight in Shining Armour for the Oppressed, A Deliverer of Peace, Love, Joy and Grace - He has a huge plan for you - embrace it today, and allow God to walk this path with you - you will be blown away, by the great things, he can do through you!!!

In the Powerful Name of Jesus Christ, I pray - 
Amen
