A Heart Comforted

Going through some of my writings again and came across this one that I had emailed to some friends Feb. 13, 2012.  Can't remember exactly what I was feeling or going thru at the time, but it was nice to re-read.  Hope you feel the same....
********************************************
 
Colossians 2:2  That their hearts might be comforted , being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
 
Someone once said, “We all mold another’s dreams.  We all hold each other’s fragile hopes in our hands.  We all touch other’s hearts.”  Well, I don’t know about the certainty of that, but what I am certain about is, “Jesus molds my dreams.  Jesus holds my fragile hopes in His great big hands.  Jesus is not limited to touching one heart at a time, He touches hearts every second.”  I’m so thankful to know the Master who KNOWS it all!  I don’t have time to explain it.  To be honost I have no desire to find the words to explain it, I just know that my JESUS came this weekend.  He touched my heart this weekend.  And, I’m grateful.   
 
I want to be knit wholly in HIS love today.  I’m so thankful I know who JESUS is! 
 
What a busy weekend this past weekend was! (lol)  This morning I rode up to my work space with an elevator-full and this lady riding with us said, “I can’t believe it’s Monday!...weren’t we just on this…like an hour ago, or something?!” LOL  This was her version of “WOW! Where did the weekend go?!”  She made me laugh.  My sentiments exactly!!!  J  But, hey, isn’t that what living life is all about?! ;-D I’m grateful that God allowed me the privilege…and oh what a privilege it is!...to feel HIS awesome, mighty presence so fully, so totally, so completely this weekend.  Saturated in His goodness…this is what I felt like.   
 
Billy Graham once said, “A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable.” 
 
The LOVE of GOD working in a life makes this happen too!  I woke up this morning with the song “Can’t Stop Praising”.  Can’t stop praising His name, I just can’t stop praising His name…BLESS HIS HOLY NAME…Cant’ stop praising His name…JESUS, JESUS!  I won’t turn back, No I won’t turn back, I won’t turn back now!  I’m so grateful to know the One who comforts, knits me together, and shows all riches of understanding.  I want to show HIM the same! I want to be so in tune with the Master-Of-It-All that I don’t have to wake up each morning at the start-box again.  I want my relationship with Him to be so effective that it truly takes affect.  A true relationship with God brings about a change resulting in that life making a difference in the life of someone else.  I want my life to show forth the LOVE and the POWER of God.  I don’t want lip-service, I want action-service; heart-service. Out of the mouth the heart speaketh.  What am I revealing to others about my heart-condition? Am I comforting through words and deeds?  Through my actions am I showing forth the praises of God?  By my lips am I comforting (affecting positively) a bruised soul?  Or, Am I more in tune with myself and what I think, than what God thinks? 
 
Lord, help me!!  Help me that I may have a positive affect on this bruised, crushed-in-spirit world around me.  Help me to LOVE as YOU love!  I want to be knit together with the body of Christ.  I want to have a full understanding of what you are all about, and who you are!          
 
Ya’ll have a great day today. 
 
Love to all ~md
