I went through a burning bush experience several years ago. It lasted about 2 years and then it stopped. Since then, God has been quietly present. Although I was healed of many inner ills, I still needed healings in relationship dynamics. Over the past couple of years, God has been showing the way albeit silently. Lately, God has become audible again. In the past few months, I have been back in my prayer chair and even went back to church.
At the ripe age of 47 I am realizing only God can heal all ills, hurts and injustices. God is doing a work in me to wait, believe and surrender to Him. Action is often the first road we take because we are upset and want to be heard or validated. In my experience, truth always abides in the end. Patience truly is a virtue and one most of us lack. We are so bent on being justified that we often move ahead of God’s timing. Although God has continually done a work on my mouth and emotions, it is the year for even greater depth. Emotional hurt, especially induced by family, is often hard to overcome. With wisdom though we realize that people are fallible and most likely we will be disappointed more often then pleased. The best we have to offer is Trusting God and letting go of our script. Surrender is a road that never ends. It is our greatest hurdle but most needed in our walk with God. This New Year begs the question what do you need to surrender and are you willing?
