Thankful Thursday

I am a little late in posting this, but Blogger has been acting up. The last few days have been hard. I feel disconnected - like I've hit a plateau with GOD. While it's awkward to admit that, it also feels good to get it off my chest.

I'm still reading When Godly People Do Ungodly Things by Beth Moore. I felt like I was making big strides in my relationship with HIM for several weeks, and before I realized it I was really struggling to get through a lesson at a time.

I was having this same problem yesterday, when something occurred to me. I've had plateaus and "blah" moments in my walk before. But it took me months, even years, to recognize or care about what had happened. Within a matter of a few weeks (maybe even days), HE began to show me that my soul was growing cold again.

HIS love is greater than anything we will experience here on Earth - even marriage. That's alot to swallow sometimes. Today, I am thankful that our FATHER chases me. HE pursues me. He reminds me that our relationship is so much more than a routine. HE speaks to me when I wake up, during the day, before I fall asleep at night, and in the quiet moments of my day to remind me to spend some quality time with him.

I can only fall at his feet and say, "Thank you, Abba Father. YOU are so much more than I deserve. Thank you for reminding me that when I do not "feel" YOU, I only need to pray. YOU reveal yourself to me in the smallest parts of my day, reminding me that YOU are always with me."

Don't let your soul grow cold. I pray that each of us would recognize when we need to come to HIM and give thanks for HIS unfailing, constantly "lavish" love we are so undeserving of.
