You always are..

The life of the party- Ben Dunn!

I was listening to this song over and over today! The Lord just kept placing deep in my heart that the world views Him not as a Father, a protector, an advocate, a joy or a lover, but many times all we see when we pray or ask for Him to reveal Himself is the God of the Old Testament, with the rod waiting to hit us on the head and yell at us. Slowly, the Lord is reminding me that HE IS A FUN GUY! He loves us, He wants to dance with us, and He is so joyful! He wants to have fun with us, he enjoys doing things with us as long as we are in relationship and obedience to Him.

He is the life of the party and this life means NOTHING without Him in it. He loves dancing, he loves having a good time, and he is not trying to take things away from you! He is such a great Papa and he smiles on each of us waiting with open arms for us to fall into them and party with us and with him! Each day is a party and He has released us from the things that have held us back, the chains, and the extra baggage we are carrying. He wants to reveal Himself to you as a party God, a fun Guy, but most of all to party in HIS love. It's a great journey!

What image do you have of God?

Merry Christmas!

Seeing Clearly

This morning as I began getting around, I was thinking about things and just enjoying a friend who was at my house. I finished the normal routine: shower, getting dressed, hair, makeup, etc. and decided today was a day for my glasses to be worn. As I stood in front of the mirror, I had this thought that once I put my glasses on, I would be able to see myself more clearly. I gently placed my glasses on my face and heard the Lord say, Yes, it's time to put your glasses on. Your spiritual glasses- the glasses that allow you to see me more clearly.

These glasses that I was putting on in the spirit allowed me to see myself more clearly- the amazing, created, LOVED woman of God. He is aligning my vision to give me one unbroken gaze on HIM. As we begin to gaze upon the Father more intently and see His glory and righteousness, we begin to show the Father, we begin to glow as He glows. These glasses allow us to see the beauty of others (one of our many duties and destinies that we each have as saints) so that they may walk into the revelation of who they are!

Gaze means to have a steady or intent look. The Father gazes at you and He wants us to loving lock our eyes back on him.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask from the LORD,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

My prayer for you today is that Papa aligns your vision to see him clearly and to know that he loves you. I ask for a revelation of His deep, penetrable, and amazing love for you. Ask because He has promised to show it to you! That you would have a revelation of the beauty of the Lord on this cold December morning.

Shalom, Peace to you!
