Repentance for Forgiveness ~ Renewed for Use
Posted by Melody Calhoun on Wednesday, January 7, 2009
Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He IS near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He Will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He Will abundantly pardon.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
~ Isaiah 55:6-11
Thank You, Father God, for allowing me to feel Your presence again, to hear Your glorious yet gentle voice, and that You gave me the will and ability to obey. For I was wicked and unrighteous, but You had great mercy upon my soul, and allowed me to have Your grace and forgiveness.
Thank You, LORD, for continuously cleansing my thoughts, and for rebuking me when I again become way-ward in my thinking. My Dear God, help me to resist the temptations of my flesh and of the enemy, but to turn to You instead. Teach me Your Ways, and let Your Word permeate my heart and mind so that I may not sin against You. You ARE able LORD, to lift me up beyond my flesh, so that I can be used for Your glory and for Your honor. Father God, in the Precious Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, my Lord and King, I ask that You Will let Your Word prosper and flourish through my life. Father God, let it be according to Your Will. Amen.
My Lord Jesus Christ has been showing me again and again how great a deliverance He has given me. His sacrifice upon the cross IS the most Wonderful gift that I can ever know! He knew the wretched vile person that I was ~ all my sickening sins were upon Him during that time. And still He Loves me, enough to have died in my place.
I am so thankful that He called my spirit, and continues to speak to me. I pray that I may ever continue to know His Holy Word, and through me, others may come to see His Truth and His glory.
His Word NEVER returns back to Him void! If He uses me to spead His Word, then I know that my life here on earth is not in vain.
