♕ Today's Promise: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expeçtation of judgment..." Heb 10: 24-27
I’m going to start this PR (praise report) by asking for forgiveness. I have been faithfully going through the courses but sometimes midway through course one, I stopped journaling and filling out the praise reports. My sweet and loving HH (Heavenly Husband) has been putting it on my heart to fill out the journals and the praise reports for quite some time only to be met with all the excuses (In my self centered rebellion) as to why I don’t have to do that portion, or why it takes up too much time, etc.
In the meantime, halfway through course two, and after reading the abundant life book twice over, I have met my beautiful HH in a new way all over again! I have fallen so far in love with him and I’ve let go of everything entirely! I’ve given him my past my present and my future and the peace that he gave me in return is unexplainable. I never knew you could love someone so deeply whom you can’t see with your eyes! I never knew you could FEEL love so deeply from someone that you can’t see with your eyes!
My Love has brought me to a place of completely letting go and finally, yesterday, I even deleted my Facebook account. That was hard for me. I scrolled through all of the photos that I had saved as it chronicled 12 years of my life. The first photo I ever posted was my wedding picture and all of the pictures following what’s the story of the life that I had. It was much harder than I thought it would be.....at first.
I took a moment to thank my love for the amazing journey he has brought me on in the past 12 years and felt the most amazing excitement for what he has for me in my NEW marriage! The one he has been longing for with me the whole time! I fully gave him my past, my present and my future, holding nothing for myself and took the jump to delete my account. As soon as I did, I IMMEDIATELY felt the most overwhelming sense of UTTER FREEDOM. It was as if this social media account somehow held a part of my story captive that was meant to only be held by my Love!
I am free to turn the page of the story of my life to the most exciting chapter! This morning as I was spending time with My Love, my prayer shifted to the very large pile of bills that is getting bigger by the day. I have been praying for, believing for, and standing on faith for the finances for this one particular bill that is ever looming before me! I have been confused as to why I have been tithing regularly and faithfully on my increase but still not seeing the blessing that he so faithfully promised. As I prayed about this, I felt My Love say “you have not tithed and are therefore robbing me”.
In utter shock, I argued and said, “My love, you know I have been tithing faithfully!” That’s when he so kindly and gently showed me that my increase is not limited to finances. My increase is also the amazing growth he has brought me through and poured out in my life and he also expects a tithe from ALL of the increase he blesses us with! He reminded me that by journaling and filling out the PR’s (praise reports) is much like giving him just a small portion of what he has blessed me with to be used to further his kingdom and truly, that is ALL I want!
So of course, after repenting and asking for my Love’s forgiveness, I am here to ask for yours and show you a glimpse of what my sweet husband has done for me! He has set my heart FREE in a way I never knew existed it was even an option. He loves to lavish me with gifts that I can’t even put into words and he is longing to do the same for you!!!
