Revelations

Ever have those moments where revelations come? Or rather revelations have been coming for a while now but you are just now seeing it? Sometimes these revelations are small and sometimes they are life-changing, but generally you only really see them when you open your eyes, when you fall to your knees at the Cross, when you surrender.  We pray for these revelations and changes in your lives.  We pray for courage and strength, forgiveness and joy, truth and answers. Most of the time, those things are right in front of us! We are too blind by our humanness, lack of faith or trust, and weaknesses to see it. And that is one of the MANY beautiful things about Christ.  Romans 5:8 “while we were yet still sinners!” Let the beauty of those words wash over you.  We did not do anything. We did not deserve it. Yet, when we accept this glorious gift, we become restored, worthy, redeemed.  

Through this time I am going through, the Lord is revealing a lot of things.  Some things are good and encouraging.  Some things are lessons I need to learn but are painful to realize or hear.  I want that truth in my life, no matter the pain.  I need that truth.  I long to be a better follower. I long to draw closer to my Lord and Savior. I long desperately for that. Especially now. I am broken, on my knees, crying before the Throne.  I need that so very much. Even when life is blessing me abundantly, I need Him.  I forget that so often. I try so hard to be perfect, to please people.  I am a sinner though. I am not perfect and can never be while I am on this earth and I need to learn that.  There are other things my Father is revealing to me, things too far in my heart, things that I am not ready to reveal on a blog for all to see.  I do cherish this time though. As hard as it is, as much as I hate the pain, as broken as I feel, I cherish these deeply intimate moments with the King. Oh what beautiful times! There is nothing like being vulnerable to the Ultimate and Only Healer. Nothing like coming before the throne and begging for Him to hold your hand through this.  Nothing like asking him to reveal Himself to you. Nothing like using this time to restore you and bring you closer to Him. Nothing like time with the Savior.

When was the last time you had that moment? When was the last time you laid your troubles before Him and left them there? When was the last time you left your sins on the blood stained, cleansing altar? When was the last time you heard Him speak and allowed Him to truly move in your life? Or trusted Him with something that scared you? Or allowed His love to flood you? When?

Oh dear reader, moments with our Lord are unlike any other. They satisfy our deepest desires. They help us through our darkest moments. They forgive us of our sins and allow healing to come to our tattered hearts. How, how do they do all these things? Because He is there.  The Bible says over and over again, if you seek the Lord, you will find Him. Seek Him today. Spend time in His glorious presence.  Spend time in reverence and praise because He is the King of kings. Cast your burdens down before Him. You need not carry them anymore. You are not strong enough. He will carry them for you. Allow Him to reveal those revelations you have been praying for.  Allow Him to love you.
