The Word... IS... The way

Wow is all I can say.  I am always amazed at how God continues to open my heart and show me more and more with his word.  Today I was studying the Crucifixion.  Using the Archeological Bible it is all so real.   It touched me so much.  Jesus sacrificed so much, went through so much for my horrible sinful self.  Later on in prayer I realized that through this project I am learning to be the lamp stand God created me to be.  To shine as he designed me to.  Not with postcards, handouts or catch phrases, but using the tools the Lord has given me.  It truly is the most challenging walk I have taken, because it's all me out there.  I can't act the rehearsed lines, or hand out the written phrases.  It's my heart devotion, my faith, my life commitment and my example that speak or are silent and that is convicting.  God is who does the work.  Thank God he is with me though each step.  I see now what I was trying to say in "I am right here".    I just hadn't learned it yet.  But I knew something wasn't right.    --the learning never ends.
