A choice is made. But, it takes a person ages to realize the immensity of it. We know that it was a choice to follow Jesus. We are brought to a place of awareness that, somewhere along the line, we have made the choice that our heart knows is right. And we find that choice being renewed over and over again as our minds and hearts are being renewed.
We had no idea what changes would take place in our heart. We did not know of all the breaking and comforting; or for that matter, all the Grace.
We start a process of being retaught, sometimes forgetting just who the teacher is, we are constantly being brought back on track as God speaks to us. He speaks to our spirit with His Holy Spirit. He speaks with a soft voice to our heart. And when we don’t listen, He waits…until we are ready to listen again.
Eventually we understand that we are to listen to His voice, and to do what He says. It must be His voice. And we know His voice. Our heart has always known his voice. And still we are constantly brought back on track. That never changes.
And one day we look around and find just how much change has taken place. It can be encouraging, and sometimes scary. But, still, our heart knows that we are in good hands.
If we are quiet and we listen, we know who God is, and who we are. And we know that the immensity is a very great Love that brings us home.

One of my favorite things about God is how present God is when I turn towards the presence.
Turn towards His Presence. This gives me a lot to ponder on.
Ahhh, yes. I’ve been alternately listening and tuning him out on this house issue. I’m not sure what He’s telling me, but I have let go my expectations and am open to anything. Anything.
Open to anything is a hard place to get to, but, a good place to be.
this is true and has very much been my experience, especially in the past 7 years
It is amazing, the changes that have taken place in your life.
oh yes, this. We are in the very best of hands.
Thank you for the encouragement that you share.
