Laying
it at His Feet
This morning
during my quiet time with the Lord I decided to look at my old journals from
over the years. As I looked through the pages I realized I didn't even know the
person that was writing in them. I felt like I was looking at a stranger’s notebook.
Year after year I was crying out to the Lord to help me. I would write about
how I needed to clean my house, lose weight and keep everything in order. It
was sad because I thought if I could be perfect the Lord would then give me the
desires of my heart. I had it so backwards. What I really needed to do is lay everything
at his feet and let Him change me. What I needed was to let go of trying to
control everything and let the Lord take over and fix me. I kept trying to earn
Gods love. That is not how it works. His love is FREE. There is nothing we can
do to earn it and there is nothing we can do that would ever make Him stop
loving us. So stop thinking you cannot
come to the Lord until you get things in order or fix yourself. He wants you to
come as you are, He wants you to give Him everything you are and are not. All your
brokenness, insecurities and anything else that makes you feel unworthy and lay
it at His feet. If you do that and give Him control of your life He will give
you a life you could never have dreamed of on your own. So don’t waist another day
trying to be perfect and hand it all over to the Lord. He is waiting there with
His arms wide open ready to take all the broken pieces from you and give it back to you better than
it was before.
