The place of total surrender to His will; the place I often do not want to go due to my own selfishness or fear...the place I do not understand...where I have no agenda but to be present with Him so I can be the vessel he wants me to be. Vulnerable yet strong, present and effective for His kingdom. The place of "yes Lord" without my own agenda. So difficult to do in my own flesh....learning to die to self more each day and trusting Him as He leads me often to unexpected places! Your pictures are such a reflection of your postings....Irony I especially resonate with....I desire this deep relationship with God but find myself fighting my own self at times. He is the deliver from all that makes us fearful (Psalm 34:4) therefore I am learning to praise Him all the more to reflect his love to a hurting world (Psalm 34:1-3) through my brokenness and imperfection. Learning to enjoy the journey and accept it instead of resisting it...It may be painful at times and at others incredibly exhilerating....the irony of life!Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339132004570920866noreply@blogger.com
