Layers…

// February 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // OUT LOUD THOUGHTS

Lately, I’ve pressed in to God a bit more.  I can’t really take credit for that.  It’s a response to grace and the drawing of the Holy Spirit obviously.  I realize in me there still exists things that have kept God at a safe(r) distance.  Which is stunning to me, because you can’t help but convince yourself that you grow to a point of trusting God implicitly, where you truly know that He’s good.

But I’m continually coming to the realization that this revolution of the heart is an unending process.  Until God is so known and locked into our hearts, until fear is completely washed away and only love remains, God still exposes places in our hearts that He’s not taken yet.

I’m learning that a lot of stuff that I said was no big deal or were just old hurts of the past really still are a big deal to God.  They numb our hearts and keep us from experiencing His love.

I’m actually really excited about peeling the layers back.  I know that sounds like a scary prospect for some people, but the level of intimacy with the Father is of such great value to me.   I just want to know Him more.  And I want to trust Him more.

Last night my oldest daughter told me that her school gave them a number to call for help with teen issues where you can talk to adults.

ME: What kind of issues?

VICTORIA: Anything we go through…like depression…puberty…

ME: Puberty? They have a crisis line for puberty? What kind of call would… that be? ‘Hello Teen Crisis Center, can I help you?’ ‘Help me! Hair has started growing in my pits!’

My daughter Jadyn, age 5…

JADYN: Daddy, what do you want to be when you grow up?

ME: I don’t know yet.
