Someone asked me this morning about not being a "law man" and being "Gods man". And wanted to know how I have come to this place in my life where I am in a true relationship with God and not living for the Law but for Him. Here was my answer. I hope this blesses others also.
"Well... It has been a long road with Jesus but I feel He brought me to this place through Humility. He humbled me with His wisdom. I recognized after a while that putting on a show for others and even for Him at times was so exhausting. Trying to live religiously so focused on what I was doing rather than Who I was doing it for. My actions seemed less genuine and unfulfilling. When we are in relationship with God and doing what He intends for us to do, God you says that you'll feel full. I felt empty even though I was doing everything right by religious standard, I felt like I was just doing nothing at all. So much so that I lost sight for a moment, of Who God was and why I was here. I was so messed up during that time, just confused and I wanted God's clarity. I took time away from everything and everybody to dig into His word and honestly I prayed for the Holy Spirit, because although I had been saved a couple of years by that time, I don't believe I actually had a relationship with Him and I deeply wanted one. I think when we just come to God wholeheartedly in bold prayer and tell Him to bless us, not ask, but tell Him, Lord give me your clarity, bring me into a relationship with You, Guide my steps, etc. He takes those bold prayers and sets them into motion. I can't take any credit for me being in the place I am today in relationship with the Father. All the Glory is His. I think God just needs for us to desire Him wholeheartedly, and He will come and make a Home in us. That is the beauty of Christ. I hope this helps you understand a bit more and helps you on your walk with Him!"
