My Most Prized Possession

"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him" (2 Chronicles 16:9)

"My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God."
(Psalm 84:2)

I haven't been blogging for a while because there's been an ongoing revelation that needed clarity before I could write. Learning about God's character as it applies/relates to women has been eye opening. All that I as a woman longs for, is the same way God wants me in my femininity to relate to Him. As a woman, my most prized possession is my heart. For the external beauty fades, money and wealth like the flowers of the field can bloom and abound one day and be gone the next. A lot of this world is transient, but with age, a woman's heart has known, pain, sorrow, joy, love, forgiveness, anger, acceptance and soo much more. Over time a woman's heart has learnt to bear alot, but above all has learnt to love many including self and God.

I believe my walk with God has been Him showing me one thing after another to commit to Him. It's not a refusal to share with others, it is saying "Father, my God, I owe You everything and desire to please You. What I do have I give to You. All that I find of worth I give to You. I give You first place in ALL and EVERYTHING that I am." Last year God asked me for a dance, I've given Him dance, and will continue to strive to give Him the best in movement. This year, God has asked of me, my most prized possession in its entirety... He desires my heart. So Father I gladly give You my heart...For when a heart is given, true vulnerability is revealed. I am trusting Him, His intentions and His ability to care for me. I'm trusting His decisions for my life. Trusting His plans, purpose, unfailing promises, and faithfulness. Thereby causing a greater need and dependence on God. In the end, I believe God just wants to be there for all of us - nothing more. That we will walk with Him and He can be what He is - OUR GOD!

"Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
(Psalm 51:10)

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for creating me as a woman in Your image of grace, mercy, tenderness, beauty, and love. Father as I continue to learn more and more about my relationship with You,... You amaze me! Father, You are incredible the way You love and have loved me. For being my keeper, my protector, the pursuer of my heart and all of me, Thank You God. Jesus, You commanded me to love God with all my heart, soul, and mind. Teach me God how to do just that. To walk in the spirit of loving You within and without. Teach me how to accept Your invitation of a love relationship soo secure, perfect, untainted, and sacred. In faith I thank You fo creating within me a pure and clean heart that is devoted to You. God You will be glorified in and through me. All praise and honor to You Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.
