Opis

I ask Him to speak, and I wait. When He speaks His gentle voice calms my inner man, and He whispers to my spirit that I am His. He speaks over and over again how He loves me. Every time I come, He says it again, I am His, He is mine. These words echo in my mind and heart and I begin to believe that it could be true. I ask Him about this fear and that negative feeling and He responds to each one sending me to scriptures that are far to similar to always be coincidence. My confidence in His love rises as I begin to believe that He will always answer and His love for me won't change. I start to notice that issues of the past start to melt away, past sins are gently overcome by His acceptance of me. Insecurities shrink and I am no longer shifted so easily by life and rejection from others. Love seems to have become my nature and I don't remember having chosen to behave. At times I am tempted to return eye for eye, but now I turn to my Comfort and the temptation leaves and I choose love instead. The moments of temptation become fewer and fewer. I find that I hunger for His voice and His word. I want to see mysteries in the scriptures and find new ways to love others. He answers my question, "How do I do this?" "Will You teach me to do that?" Always His love is wooing me and beaconing me to come away, and I find that He is now my delight. Now every negative emotion is an opportunity to hear more from Him, and opportunity to grow. I find that faith comes easier, faith for tires, faith for jobs, faith for cars. He gives me things and whispers His love as sleep and when I wake. He catches me unaware and sings song back to me. He even says thank you as I show love to someone else. Now He talks to me of inheritance and letting go of self. He shows me how I chase value and tells me I can find it in Him. Peace becomes my normal state, with fits of joy popping up regularly. Even other people take notice and tell me of the peace they see and ask why I'm always happy and why nothing seems to bother me. In worship He spends more time loving me then I am able to love Him back. No one can convince me that He isn't real, no one can convince me that His love isn't mine. At every stage He has convinced me both by experience and by countless scriptures that this has to be God.
