To be Faithful

Father, I thank You for giving me a sound mind. These moments with You are precious to me, and I cherish them. I feel so blessed by You.

My daughter, I look forward to our time together each morning. 

Lord, I’m sorry that I have not been following You with setting up my website. I have my reasons but You know them already. Most of all, I’ve been procrastinating because I’ve never done anything like this before, and I’m afraid of making a mistake. Today I’m going to do some research on how to start a blog.

I will help you, My faithful one.

Lord, You call me faithful even though I’m walking pretty slow at the moment. 

My daughter, you have learned to be faithful while giving Me your valuable time everyday. This is how your mind is stayed on Me. When I have given you a name, you will become what that name means. I have called you Faithful and you are faithful to Me. 

Lord, I’m doubting my own ability to be faithful to You!

My daughter, always fix your eyes on Me and everything else will become less. It is not within yourself to be able to be faithful, but I will help you be faithful to Me. The root of faithfulness is Love -this is who I am. 

Father, with Your help I know I will be faithful to You on our journey together. You have called me by name. You have called me Faithful and faithful I will be! Please give me the courage to be all You want me to be for You.

Thoughts:

Many times I’ve wondered how long I will keep walking faithfully in the deep waters where my God is leading me into. Many times I’ve tried reasoning with the Lord and entertaining the idea of living my life my own way to lesson the pressure, and the Lord asked me one time, “Is this what you want?” I knew for certain this was the Lords voice and I immediately repented because, what if the Lord would give me my wish and then I wouldn’t be walking fully in His plans for me? 

With all my heart I want to walk with God like Enoch did and grow in the love I have for Him. I know the more love I have for Him, the more faithful I will be to Him. I want my walk with the Lord to be steady and faithful, and with His help I know it will be. 

He knows the gifts and talents He’s gifted me with, and I want to continue to walk faithfully with Him and find out what they all are. I’ve noticed that as we walk this journey He’s chosen for me, He slowly introduces new things for me to do. These things are the very gift’s He’s planted in my heart to do from the beginning, and we joyfully discover them together as I walk faithfully with Him. 

On my own I wouldn’t have the courage to pursue these gifts even if I knew about them (some of them I’ve always known about), but because the Lord is asking me to do them gives me the freedom and determination to do them, and they bring me so much Joy! Even so, these deep waters where we are in is overwhelming if I don’t keep looking to Him. Pursuing Him intimately is more costly than I could ever have imagined, but He is bigger and stronger! He is Good all the time!
