Hello World:
It’s after 6 p.m. and I am a bit hungry right now on this 40-day fasting journey. I am drinking water and a glass of specific juices that are high in antioxidants. In spite of my physical hunger, I am more alert spiritually already. Amazing. I am beginning to think about the bigger picture in some different ways.
Guys, we are assigned to pursue the things that are on God’s agenda for our lives. Too often, we have our exclusive agendas, plans and pursuits. They are GOOD in nature. But, it can be so faaaaaaaaaaaaaar from what’s on God’s mind for our lives. During this time of sacrifice, I want to know what’s on God’s mind for my life. Isn’t that what you desire as well?
We’ve been given gifts, ideas, abilities, anointings, etc. I have many gifts (and very grateful for each one)—as I’m sure you do as well. But the question for me now is who, what, when, where and how? I have vacancies in various areas of my life—but I want them ONLY filled with those that God has sanctioned. I’m on a pursuit of the GOD STUFF and not just GOOD STUFF. I need the “people, places, knowledge and all things that are necessary for my purpose and destiny” (part of the GIFTED CLAY CONFESSION). I want my abilities to be directly connected to His favor. You may wonder why I am so adamant about this “God-centered focus”? I am so glad you asked (smile). Because He is the creator and sustainer of ALL. He sees and knows every single thing. There’s nothing and no one higher or more powerful than that. Therefore, it is smart of us to consult the One who knows it all. He is the only INFALLIBLE being.
Plus, let’s not forget HOW SO VERY MUCH HE LOVES YOU AND ME. It’s a love that’s more powerful than words could ever express. When I think of all of the mistakes I’ve made in my 39 years of living—and the fact that His love NEVER diminished in ANY way. Wow. Think about how that wraps around your own life. Isn’t that kind of love amazing? No better One to consult.
So, in my pursuit of greatness (all things maximized), I pursue and consult the GREATEST . Nothing could be bigger or better.
Even though I am on day #3 of this sacrificial journey of fasting—-IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO JOIN. Just leave your comment with your name, city, state and the things that you are willing to sacrifice along this journey. I’m sure that you have some “stuff” in your life that you need help with—-we all do. Join me.
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra
