Too Loud!

It’s too loud!

Have you ever came to point and realized the volume of your life is too high? Everyone has responsibilities, people depending on us, our own dreams and or goals. Some of our personal goals are spiritual, physical & educational. It can be a challenge not losing them in the demands of life.

Hosea 2:4&5
“So I am going to attract her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and I will make the Valley of Trouble a door of hope. There she will respond as when she was young, as when she came out of Egypt.”

In late March 2008 God gave me that scripture. I have held on tight to the Word God gave me. Months went by and that scripture comforted me because I knew the pain I was feeling (my Valley of Trouble) was going to lead me to my door of hope. God showed me so much in that time.

I don’t think we ever make a conscious decision to neglect our relationship with the Lord. But it happens. The demands of life, the goals we are reaching for and relationships we are trying to keep together. Busy with that we didn’t realize we pushed God out and took over. Then one day we realize how loud everything has become. It’s just too loud!

Sunday during worship I let go. I got lost in the presence of God. No one else was there, it was only the two of us. I let go…poured my heart out. Freely giving it to the one who loves me. Oh…how He loves me. I only wanted to worship Him and express my love and gratitude. But He had another plan. He poured into me. He filled my heart with comfort and told me to keep close to Him.
