Entry for Tuesday, May 13, 2008

10 a.m. After struggling through the morning duties, I finally cried out to the Lord in prayer. Not long after beginning, I heard "How long will you resist My Love?” Suddenly I was overtaken by the Lord, and saw Truth. I am easily able to interpret Love when it agrees with MY understanding of what I EXPECT it to be, look like, taste like, smell like, etc. The TRUTH is, that when you’ve given up your life for His, ALL things become new. (and there is a real result in the natural, as well) I am in process of healing, actually receiving healing as I walk. Sometimes my natural body (flesh) does not feel well during particular instances of deliverance unto Truth. It is LOVE that is causing this to come into being, causing me to become as He is. LOVE delivers, but is most often interpreted as something else, because it doesn’t feel the way it’s expected to feel. Not until it’s wounds are complete, is the Truth apparent. There has to be finality sometimes, in order for the decision to come without hindrance, the choice to give up. The work of the Cross within us, must be completed, and only then, will we truly Live.

So then I understand now that:
Love is soft and fluffy :silly smile:
Love is also NOT soft and fluffy. :smirk:
Love is bright and confirming, imparting strength :gleaming smile:
Love is searing, as it exposes darkness, destroying every stronghold of deceit within. :torrential weeping:
