I NEED A SINGLE HOUR: Part IV - The Strength To Say It

A real love for others will chase those worries away. The thought of being punished is what makes us afraid. It shows that we have not really learned to love. (1 John 4:18, CEV).

LORD:

The thought of being exposed makes me afraid.  Life is challenging because something important was stripped away from me and I thought I had the innate strength to prevent deterioration.

I take pride in my (Wonder Woman) capabilities.  I dot my I's and cross my T's. I'm diplomatic and detailed.  I'm organized and efficient.  I'm thoughtful and compassionate.  I'm intelligent and insightful.

There is nothing wrong with my ego.  But there is something wrong with my heart--it's reluctant to accept Your greatest gift.

Life is good because You knew that exposure was 1 of the 3 things I needed. (http://www.fromhelltowin.com/2013/10/i-need-single-hour-part-iii-deliverance_16.html).  Because I was punishing myself through deprivation, You stripped away my heart of stone and gave me a "red-blooded, firm-muscled heart," capable of being touched without scathe.  (Ezekiel 11:19, MSG).

Life is abundant because You saw my readiness to learn about love.  Exposure revealed real love extended to me.  My worries were chased away when I accepted Your greatest gift from others. 

I have the strength to say it: I AM LOVED! 

In Jesus name...AMEN.

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (Luke 12:25, NIV).



I Need A Single Hour Blog Series

I know from life experience that challenges do not discriminate--every individual on planet Earth experiences challenges. The theme scripture for this 5-part blog series is Luke 12:25, NIV: Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? It is my hope that this series will inspire you to spend "a single hour" communicating with God.
