Did You Have That Talk Yet?

If you’re reading this blog you’re probably wondering what “talk” am I referring to.  I’m referring to those deep seeded things that have been in your life that you haven’t really addressed wholeheartedly with God.  You know that the issue(s) are there but, choosing to really deal with them is too painful or difficult so ignoring them seems to be the better option.  This is why the question was presented, “Did you have that talk yet?”

 

Please don’t think for one minute that the Holy Spirit did not initially present this same question to me before I shared it with you.  The Lord wants all of His children to be whole in every area of life.

 

It doesn’t matter what we have done or what we have been through God does not have a problem helping us get through it.  He will take those hidden places of the heart that no one knows about and turn them into amazing testimonies that bring glory to His name as well as peace and freedom to us.

 

I encourage you today to make a commitment to take those things to God that you have been holding onto that are not pleasing to Him, ask Him to fix it, and trust that He will.  It doesn’t matter how bad, dishonest, or shameful it is.  The Lord already knows every detail about us but, He does not want us to attempt to hide anything from Him.  He does not want us to invite Him into certain areas of our lives and completely lock Him out of others.

 

The Lord wants every single part of us.  One of the things that amazes me about God’s love is that He never stops loving us regardless of our baggage.  Always remember that we have a loving and forgiving Father who has the solution to every heartache and painful situation.

 

 

Reflections

 

1.  After reading the following scripture think about how you can apply it to having the “talk” with God:

 

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  1Jn 1:9

 

2.   What emotions come up when you think of talking to the Lord about anything that you know you haven’t dealt with?

 

3.    Are you willing to do what it takes to uncover the hidden things and really have a heart to heart talk with the Lord?  Are you willing to let Him heal you?

God Bless,
