Time To Take Off Your Grave Clothes

Think about it! Ask: God, how is it wisdom for a
child male or female not to have a Father in life? It leaves such a vast,
empty place and makes the child grow wounded, wildly impulsive, and feeling
deeply inferior.
Answer: God allowed that big
empty place so the He, your Heavenly Father can fill it!
To the wholeness – to the
reintegration of life shattered by abandonment and disintegrated by sin – the
Appointed One came and healed a broken heart!
When the Father fills the emptiness
of abandonment, you rejoice so much that you feel sorry for those that didn’t
have that great big hole for Him to fill!
I began to realize that all the
things I saw as shameful and wounding, God had wisely given to me as His means
to shape my reason for being. My purpose in life became clear. I
exist so that others can know Him as Father. So that they can have wonderful
conversation with God as their Father. All I’ve been through, good and
bad, happened as I was on the Potter’s wheel.
Alcohol, drugs, poverty, abandoned,
broken relationships, divorce, fears, rejections – I was (and am) being shaped
in such a way, sometimes painfully, so that my soul can be filled with
God. Wow!
