Come out…take off the grave clothes! Make a decision about the trial you're going through...it isn't the end of you! Life lives in you; Jesus died & gave you His Spirit. He's alive & on the inside of you & will lead you in all truth! Stop going through the motions, checking off the to do list, speaking Christian-ese to just put another day behind you. You've settled for just getting by & Jesus doesn't just get by-He's overcome & you have too because His Spirit lives in you!
Jesus is calling your name to come out & take off the grave clothes! Trust Him to help-He will get you on the other side of this; your part is to believe & speak His truth. But you haven't been speaking His truth with boldness because you're afraid to hope for more than He might deliver. Listen closely, you've got to distinguish between what you believe is the answer to the trial you're facing verses putting your trust in God to bring you through the trial. Only God knows how He will deliver His promises-His ways are perfect. You will compromise your hope in God if you have a preconceived ideas of how Jesus will bring you through the trial-it depletes you emotionally, physically & spiritually.
Empty yourself of the fears that dug this emotional grave-purge what you've been denying, holding back, minimizing, trying to prove & pushing down...cry a river & grieve what was lost, stolen or never given. Grief validates what you're feeling & it says you matter. This makes room for God's hope to fill you up then you can rest in Him...not in how He answers! People who refuse this process will go through life living less than the full promises of God. But you don't have to-you're hope is in God! Jesus is calling your name-come out...take off your grave clothes! (Jn 11:43-44, Jn 6:29, Ps 34:19, Ps 119:105, Pr 14:12, 2 Cor 12:9) 9/9/13LMM #takeoffyourgraveclothes #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife
