Welcome back to Butterfly & Pearls! I know it has been forever but this is the first blog of 2011 that I am writing and I am sure happy to be doing this.
Ok, I know the blog title for today isn't the most joyous title to start the year off but I couldn't find a title which was warm and fuzzy enough.
Ugh! I'm rambling and it is late so let met cut to the chase.
I've been hating a lot! Like they should call me Lady HateFul because I just realised how much junk I have within the depth of my heart.
Anyway, I thought my simple annoyance with things in this world was normal, in fact I thought it was acceptable to have a few pet peeves here and there.
Last night I had to come to the Lord Jesus in brokennesss before Him and just sit and talk with him with all things that I think he should make right. Do you know the importance of just sitting and listening and speaking with God? Obviously I do not because I must confess I can go a week without picking up my bible or spending time in prayer. Many of us are guilty of this sin because we do not understand the essence and the healing which lies in the Word of God.
Proverbs 4:20 - 22 says, “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart; for they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Anyway last night, I took out my journal and I heard the Lord whisper to my spirit to write down in black and white everything that I hated. So, I began. I'm not sure I covered everything but I took it upon myself to pray over these issues I had written down and thenhand them over to God.
I can't change situations in the World. I can't change situations in my family or with my friends but I know who can . Jesus!
I will encourage you to grab a pen and paper and write down a list of all the things that you hate or are hurting you and daily just begin to go over them and give them to Jesus.
Yes, Yes I know I am still on day one and I haven't actually seen the results of praying over a "hate list", regardless of this I do know that it states in Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.
