We all have hidden places in our life. Some we know about, and some we don't realize until the bright Light shines on it.
Either way, God is all about His glory and desires constant change. There is nothing hidden from Him. But oh when He shines that Light and desires that change, there's no escaping. It's not comfortable at all, but all for our good and His glory.
Seems like alot of things I write about, or talk about in my Bible classes, God allows me to go through something that isn't comfortable at all. But what better way is there to explain things, if not having gone through it. Experience is the best teacher whether we like it or not. But our Sovereign God knows best how to show us another part of us that doesn't look like Jesus at all... Ouch!
I always ask Him, "what are You teaching me Lord? I don't like this, it's not fair. Having my little pitty party tantrum. When I'm all done, He speaks. I can't hear Him when I'm in that state of mind. But when the Holy Spirit calms me, I hear clearly.
I love music. To me it's a prayer I worship Him with. So when I'm singing or praying words like, " search my heart and know me. Every part completely. Give me sight, show me what Your like. Lead me to Your heart Lord, make me Holy." Oh you can bet that flood Light is going to come on!
He refines us in His mercy. That's what isn't comfortable, but necessary to be His disciples. But let's not forget His wonderful grace. Grace that covers all our sin, but doesn't leave us unchanged. That is what this wonderful adventure with Jesus is on earth is all about. Even though things hurt and we don't like it, we continue to be changed into His image. You can't just talk about it. We are meant to look like Him...
