wow… ive been looking for something like this for a long time.. thank you so much for these words.. I’ve heard the same thing from many different people but it was sort of a rebuke, as if im supposed to already born with the ability to give ALL of myself to Christ, when in reality its the hardest thing to do.. I feel as if im the worst failure for my inability to just let go.. and people tell me i NEED to but they dont tell me how! its so frustrating….
but thank you so much… i understand i little better…
When I was a teen and in my eartly twenties…I would read and read the bible and it was like a chemistry book…since I am in no way a chemist…I could read the words but could make no sense of what it was saying.
Then something glorious happened I was born again and filled with the Spirit …the scriptures jumped out at me, they became alive, and I was so hungry. Reading the bible was like reading a best selling novel and I couldn’t get enough.
I cannot say it is not still the same but my hunger has changed. I have had this…block. It is nothing the Lord did…I think it is me getting busy…and it has been months and months of busy maybe even years that has eventually become a block or a numbness. Yes I am a homeschool mom. Yes I have many responsibilities but…none of the busyness is “better” than having that hunger for the Lord. I need an attitude adjustment.
