Trust Him with Your Heart!

Thinking about rending our hearts, we are still looking at El Shaddai....the All Sufficient One.

This past Friday I met with a monthly prayer group. I wanted to share some of my experience from that night with you - as I think it is a thought we can all share in. Through the teachings and the quiet time, I felt like God was leading me down a path. Ultimately, I felt like God needed me to trust Him with my heart. I thought I had done this, I thought we were "good" in that department. Ripple, after ripple washed over me and showed me I still had lots of places in my heart that I wasn't trusting Him with. He said "You can trust Me with your heart"and, I thought...."But I dooooooo"......I begged to understand and live that out fully and completely...revelation on how to REALLY do that. Revelation on where I wasn't trusting Him.

He said:

You trust me with your:

Time

attention

affections

prayers

diligence

relationships

schedule

But - do you trust me with YOUR HEART??

I thought I did....

What part are you holding back from Me?

I don't know....show me....

What part of your heart are you afraid to trust to anything - or anyone?

I don't know

What part of your heart do you think I will disappoint you in?

Conviction.

What part of your heart have you shut off- due to past disappointments?

And then it all came out....

Here's the deal:

He won't hurt

He wont disappoint

He won't leave physically or emotionally- He will be our constant.

He will love, He will give us His all. He will love us as much, as far, as big as we will let Him. WE block His affection, through our wounding..

He said:

You have approached me as a servant, a diligent, well mannered, intense, hard working...... servant - wanting to please me.

Approach me now as the object of My affection.

He is El Sheddai。。。Again, He is El Sheddai. He is all sufficient to meet our every need. I would ask you guys...is there a place in your heart that you are afraid to uncover? Are there past wounds that you are operating under? I pray new revelation for all of us...that the Holy Spirit would reveal the nuances of our hearts. As we begin the final descent of our fast - we have been intent on rending our hearts and returning to Him. God was so faithful to reveal His desire for more of me. What a blessing to see that I have been operating out of past wounds, wounds that I thought were fully healed and bearing fruit. Here's the deal that I find so amazing.....He is All Sufficient - and He always wants more of us. We never "Arrive" or "are done"...what a blessing that I found places in my heart that need to be cleared out and cleaned up - so that I can house more of HIM. I pray - that all of us find places in our hearts that He lays claim to - that we willingly give them over, and ask for revelation how to walk out being the object of His affections
