| I hate losing a connection - you know how it is, you're on the phone with someone and you drive down a hill or hit a "dead spot" and boom!, you lose the connection. On top of that, when you try to call back you get a busy signal. At times in my life, (ok... very recently) that happens with me and God. I'm headed somewhere and all of the sudden experience a downhill or "dead spot" in prayer and boom!, I lose the connection. Only this time, I don't even bother try to call back. Thankfully, God sent His Spirit to remind me that even though I feel disconnected, God has never left me! Then He helps me to begin to develop a yearning to hear whatever God is trying to speak to me, to teach me, and helps me to embrace His voice as though I was hearing it for the first time. What I have learned from all of this is that in those times of disconnect, instead of giving up and "hiding", I need to be honest with myself and with God. "God, I have disconnected", "God, I'm angry", "God, I hate this", you get the idea. I find that when I am honest; when my truth (as ugly as it is) meets the TRUTH, that is when I am changed. That is when, my sinfulness is revealed and I am able to come to repentance. In that moment, I am cleansed and God's Glory is revealed to me and through me. Where once I was disconnected and deceived; now the "Voice of Truth" has been revealed in my heart, and I no longer walk in darkness. In the Divine Connect I find that I no longer having the "alone" feeling and that I am able to experience a new level of obedience and a newer level of intimacy or as I like to say to God, "IN-TO-ME-SEE". Let me tell you, it is good to step into that Divine Connect again! Later, Eddie |
