Thank you for the words. Thank you for the prayers! And thank you for the reminder to polish up my armor!!
I really love your perspective and the way you obviously love listening to the voice of God. The words He speaks are so powerful through you.
mmm mmm good…SO good. You know what the first thought was after reading this, Shannon? The enemy saying- you know that word isn’t for you. YOU are no warrior for God. You don’t qualify. YOU are not obedient enough, good enough or faithful enough to qualify. To a degree, I can almost agree with him. I’ve fallen so very short lately… not even trying to abide in Him in the ways that I know I could and should… AND YET I am in this battle by default. I live to conquer suffering and to bring love and hope to all who are lonely and lost. If there is an under dog, I will fight for him. There is nothing good in me, so though I may not always abide in Him… HE abides in me. I want what He wants and I love what He loves… doesn’t that qualify me to receive that word as mine?
I think it’s for you. He is in you, so you do have good in you. :) He is your righteousness.
PS – Shoot the enemy. I know you have a .44 around there somewhere. <3
