A beautiful exchange of thoughts and feelings, without ever saying a word. My heart has heard you say, “come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming” (Psalm 27:8). Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth (Psalm 46:10).
Every cloud has a Silver-lining, and every storm has a purpose. You are constantly being built up in the faith! But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers (Luke 22:32). And the apostles said unto the Lord, “INCREASE OUR FAITH!” (Luke 17:5). Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ (Romans 10:17).
I hear sleighbells, are you listening. I hear God talking, are you listening? Attuned to the spirit, able to hear the quietest of whispers. Wait quietly on the Lord and he will answer you. I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor demons, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39).
God’s voice won’t be found at the noisy mall, or going to every Christmas party. His voice will be discerned in the quietness of your soul. I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it (Psalm 81:10). With faith as small as a mustard seed, God can change your circumstance in an instant. So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith— that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, length, height and depth of the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:17-19).
How easily we become sidetracked, and forget to build our faith day-by-day. Working diligently for the Lord, believing he will complete every promise he took time to say. And without FAITH it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (Hebrews 11:6). You are the rewarder of my soul and the lover of my heart; every day I will seek you!....
