: **What secret sin is keeping you from walking close with
God?

: Recently, while attending a woman's retreat, I found
myself with a task at hand as I sat staring at a blank page
with a heading of "Sin List" at the top. I began to write
my sins there; what kept me away from my Lord, and those
things that held up a barrier in my relationship with Him.
As I finished, I stared at that page knowing the depth of
His forgiveness and the immensity of His love for me. I
couldn't simply rip up the page and go on my way. There was
more I had to do. You see the focus of this retreat was
choosing joy in the seasons of life. From the depths of my
being I determined to go beyond the sin list, beyond the
knowing of His forgiveness, on to a place of praise and
gratitude.
:
: Philippians 1:6 promises us, "Being confident in this, HE
WHO BEGAN a good work in you, WILL CONTINUE it on to
completion." (emphasis mine)
:
: Joshua 23:14 reminds us, "You know with all your heart and
soul that not one of the good promises the Lord Your God
gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled: not
one has failed."
:
: 1 John 1:9 assures us, "If we confess our sins He is
faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us
from all unrighteousness."
:
: With fullness of joy in Him I began:
:
: You are my shield
:
: You are my Rock
:
: You are my stronghold
:
: You are my fortress
:
: You are my cleft of safety
:
: You are my shelter
:
: You are my hiding place
:
: You are my strong tower
:
: You are my covering
:
: You place a banner of love over me
:
: You uphold me with arms that are strong and everlasting
:
: You are my promise keeper.
:
: I wrote a Psalm on that same piece of paper and I invite
you to be still before Him and ask:
:
: Am I holding back from You?
:
: Am I not walking near Your side?
:
: Where am I shielding You from my heart?
:
: Where does my confidence in Your power die?
:
: Do I obey You?
:
: Do I trust You?
:
: Do I believe You?
:
: Are You my Lord?
:
: Are You my first love?
:
: Have I put You in that place?
:
: Have I given You control?
:
: Is my heart fully surrendered?
:
: Am I holding back from You?
:
: ~Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you that You never turn a
repentant heart away. I turn to You now. Forgive me for
holding back from You. I pray now that nothing will hold
back my heart from You. May I open my life, my heart, and
my every breath to You! Your power, Your grace, Your truth,
Your faithfulness, Your love are so amazing. Thank you!
:
: Questions: Are you holding something back from God? Do
you trust God totally? Take some quiet time today and ask
God to forgive you for having gone your own way; surrender
your heart fully to God.
