The Long Cut

Have you ever taken the Long Cut?

Unfortunately it is a road that many of us find ourselves on. Leaning to our own understanding, grumbling and complaining, consequences of our sin and having our own way cause our Godly GPS to malfunction and we find ourselves "on our own".

This is neither God's fault, 

His idea or His Plan for your life 

The Lord gave me a Word for a friend tonite.  I saw him as one of the wild stallions that the Lord had caught and corralled. He was bucking and headstrong.  He had seen others leave the corral for God's purposes and it had left him irritated and frustrated that he was left behind.  He wondered how long....

The Lord wanted to remind him that first of all he had been caught. HE wanted to assure him that indeed he has a Plan for him, but this plan could not come about in his life until he would allow himself to be broken and come under the leadership and rule of the Holy Spirit.  

We simply wear ourselves out. 

We are worried, stressed and angry 

or depressed 

because things are not going our way.  

But God is a good parent and He is full of patience.  

He will wait and use life's circumstances 

to do their work on us, 

prayerfully bringing us to the point of being "gentled"

Oh how He loves us!

Friend, if you relate to this in any way today ~ even this minute ~ Now is a great time to clean the slate and STOP.  Bow before the Lord, ask for forgiveness for your foolishness and folly.  Get back under His wing and direction.  You have been bought with a Price ..you are no longer your own....

You are HIS 

and HE wants to use you 

in His Perfect plan.

The old adage goes....

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
