My pleasure is experiencing Jesus living through my soul…

I had just gotten back from one of my weekday runs and was getting ready for the shower when this thought started to form as words in my mind…

Back in March 2010, the Lord whispered these words to me, “You have not been trusting Me for your pleasure”….

Those words broke me, what He said so non-condemningly to me was the absolute truth but His words came to me in absolute heartfelt sincerity filled with genuineness and love (there was absolutely no pressure put on me and I felt His protection around me – like He really cared)  – I love the way the Lord gets through to us…

I had been thinking about those words before my run tonight and when I got back I got these new words which really answered everything for me…

Even if I’m drowning in lava or being eaten by piranhas or any other tragic situation, whether I’m blind or deaf or unable to verbally communicate (mute), whether I’m able to relate to any other person or not, whether I have a job, a house, a car, a place to sleep, whether I have food to eat or pineapple juice to drink – nothing can change my pleasure…

Experiencing Jesus living through my soul is something which I can experience every moment of every day and I don’t have to try and stay up late to squeeze in more time with Jesus because, “He gives to His beloved sleep” as the scripture tells us, so I can rest in Him and let Him do the living through me…

I’m just seeing this tonight, I’ve definitely had other pleasures but I believe I’ve now seen the way forward…

Thank You Lord… 🙂
