Sanctify me thru Purification!

¹SEE WHAT [^[a]an incredible] quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.
    ²Beloved, we are [even here and] now God's children; it is not yet disclosed (made clear) what we shall be [hereafter], but we know that when He comes and is manifested, we shall [^[b]as God's children] resemble and be like Him, for we shall see Him ^[c]just as He [really] is.
    ³And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).

1 John 3:1-3

O LORD, our LORD, How excellent is thy name....

When I consider Your heavens, the works of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You've ordained.... who am I that You are mindful of me!? Why do You love me? Why have You chosen to call me??? Why do you want me?? 

It doesn't matter really, all that matters is the fact that I am Yours. I appreciate this privilege. I am excited about where You are taking me and I thank You for showing me just how serious You are about me and Your people.I promise to honor You in the way I display and distribute information that You've given me. Help me keep my mouth closed about the things I am not to share and give me courage when I need to speak up! I trust that You'll lead and guide me correctly, however; I don't trust that I will always do as You would like for me to do, so I ask for extra grace to get me through the "trial and error" phase and ask that my season of exaltation will be preceded by a humbling season. Remind me that You are humbling me when I feel like I have done something terribly wrong. Remind me that my humiliation is only coming to prepare me to hold and keep the things You'll give me as a possession later. Never allow me to forget that it's only in You that I live, move and have my being so I won't forget to convene with You at the start of each day. Don't allow me to take on anything that will not benefit from my hands touching it. Stop me when I try to take on the world in my own strength. Show me how to guard my heart against the things the enemy will try to use to destroy me with. Let me know when, and if I'm just being "extra" or when I'm being to lax and coy. Connect me to people that have been where I'm going and can help with the transition. Make me effective. Teach me how to be direct an only say EXACTLY what is necessary at the right time. "Where You go I go, what You say I say, what You pray I pray." Make this statement true in me. I want to do NOTHING apart from You. Help me not to give answers until I have taken at least three days to pray and consider. Lord, I don't want to leave You out of anything, not only because I know I'll fail without You, but also because I know You want to be apart of my every decision made. Teach me how to live for You and I'll follow You and I'll love You all the days of my life. Father, Savior, Counselor, Friend, Companion, Lover, Husband, Provider, Protector, Brother, Healer, Atonement, Almighty GOD!!! I love You! Never let me lose sight of how I feel for You right now. I never want to go astray, no matter how horrible people may treat me, no matter what things seem to fall apart in my life. Let me always think on this overwhelming  joy I get from willingly participating in Your plan for my life, and the life of others. It's not about me, it never has been and never will be. As long as Jesus is the star of the cast I'm in! ...and I'll remain! Thank You for devotion, loyalty, and an undying faith that can certainly move mountains. Thank You for proving Yourself time and time again. Rid me of the obsession I have with pain. Show me how to truly let go of everything and everyone so that I'm free to cling to You, and You alone! =) Thanks Dad.... In Jesus' matchless name I do pray,

Amen 

I Finally Hear You...

DAD!!!!

I finally know Your voice! I can hear you Dad, I can hear You now! And I'm soooo excited! It's awesome to be able to hear and know Your voice, and to share it with other people. I'm glad You trust me enough to use me! I'm glad I went through not being able to hear You or feel You for a while. It was all necessary, and I knew that at the time, but now I actually see the manifestation and I am just OUTDONE! I'm so elated! You are the bomb! In fact, You created the people and resourses to make the bomb! Who else can say they accomplished anything like that.... NO ONE! Lol *sigh* I'm glad I can be myself with You. You understand me, mostly because You made me... I feel like a little kid, or one of those over-active chipmunks or squirrels on animated movies! Like I had too much coffee or something! But You make me burst over with joy! Your lovely! You care, Your kind... and merciful! You rock, like the pyramids they just found buried under the ocean! Lol

Help me remember this feeling when I start to lose sight of the benefits of following You. I don't want to lose this in my memory! I want to have it as a resource forever, because though I went through a lot of drama to get to this place... You were well worth it! I'm excited about seeing the lows and highs of this new-level journey I'm starting off with You on. Hmmmmmm, I'm amazed. I don't even think I could find sufficient words for the way I feel right now. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Encourage the people who feel that they have no hope, and even the ones that are contemplating ending their lives. Let them see that there is hope in You, especially when they feel opposite! Show them that life (with You) is worth living in the fullness of the ups and downs. Give them a little extra something to hold them over until the time has come for You to reveal Your glory in them!

In Jesus' name I exuberantly pray!

Amen
