Day 2 - Draw the Circle - Established by God

Tuesday, April 28, 2015

Theme: God is great not just because nothing is too big for Him; God is also great because nothing is too small.

WHAT DID YOU HEAR?
Even if you just write for Me, let that be enough.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I love to write. Not necessarily for writing's sake but because I feel like it's in those moments that God is letting me type something out that He wants me to know. It's not anything audible but as I tap on my phone, I am CHARGED and I can't get the words in front of my eyes fast enough.  I read them as if someone wrote them TO me, and I think Someone did. 

Because I feel like these are heavenly gifts, it is SO on my heart to pass them on. I dream of writing a devotional one day with the same title as this blog, Devotions of a Prodigal Daughter. I picture this devotional getting into the hands of others like me, sisters who took the scenic route to Jesus, broken but determined, unsure but willing. It is a prayer that I have circled, feeling this book IN MY HANDS one day.

As I thought about this prayer, however, God had something else to say,
Even if you just write for Me, let that be enough. He may say no to my dream but as He reminds me, the POINT is to sit at His feet while He speaks guidance and wisdom into my life.  To HIM be the glory and praise. Not my will. Not my work. Not my ego. HIM...and that's enough.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
I will KEEP WRITING. God may say no to MY plans,  but I still want to be prepared if God says YES! Even if He says no I will meet God each day eager to sit at His feet with fingers above my keyboard, ready to receive.  Whether we are drawing together, working on a lesson, preparing ministry, praying, making jewelry or going for a drive...it's my time WITH Him that's the point.

NOW TALK TO GOD...
Father, you know the longings of my heart, to reach women like me, your prodigal daughters. I want to be part of a revival in Your Church, FOR Your Church  that NOT ONE will perish.  It is my joy to encourage with the LOVE of Jesus so, Father, here I am.  Use my writing and anything else in me that is YOU.  Father, help me to keep my intentions pure, keep my EYES ON YOU and if there is anything in my heart that needs reconciliation with You, help me soften my heart to YOUR will. Jesus, Your presence. Holy Spirit, Your counsel.  Amen.
