Turn My Heart

♕ Today's Promise: “Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more." Isaiah 54:4-6

Dear Brides, if, like me, you're struggling to understand how to become His bride, start here! I have some understanding of what He wants from me, but I still struggle with my flesh and sometimes cannot tell if I'm doing it right or not. I cry out to Him daily and He has been working in my life. Starting this Abundant Life course will give me so much more insight on how to truly become only His.

Before starting this course and even still now, I am working through how to become His true Bride. I've learned that I need to completely let go and allow Him to transform me. I have prayed every day for Him to turn my heart to Him and Him alone. And every day, I get closer.

What I am learning is that seeking to become His Bride does not mean that I don't love my EH (earthly husband) and want to be with Him still. But it does mean that I will put my God above all things and allow Him to move mountains for me, as is His promise. Since starting my RJ (restoration journey), I've come a long way from begging for my EH to come back to me to crying out to my God asking for wisdom and my heart to be turned away from my desires so that I can focus on putting Him first.

I've been reminded that I need to simply pray that God's will be done in all aspects of my life. That is truly giving it all to Him. Being specific in prayer can be beneficial, but in such a trying time, I've learned that the more specific I get, the more I go back to longing for my fleshly desires. So, I'm backtracking at that point and have to catch back up to where I was.

I've started to realize that when I get overwhelmed or anxious, the best thing for me to do is go on a walk and talk to the Lord. I can no longer feel content just by reading scripture, testimonies, or the books. I can physically feel the desire to go be alone with my Heavenly Husband. I know that this is getting me closer to being fully His. He is molding me every single day and I praise Him for it!!!

The biggest thing is that I will lean on Him in all things. I have already started to change the way I speak to others and how I handle situations at work. I have reached out to coworkers and friends who God shows that they need the resources that I have. Plus, I talk about my faith and what God is doing in my life, all the time! I want everyone to know my God and how awesome He is!!

Dear Brides, today I have learned that I need to put my focus on God and God alone. That along with reading His Word and using all of the resources brought to you by RMI (Restored Ministries International), I need to just spend time with Him! Both by praying and by talking to Him and listening as He responds.

I've found that sometimes I love to listen to praise and worship music while many other times, I prefer to be in silence so I can fully focus on talking with my God. Don't be afraid to just walk with Him and talk with Him. I talk to Him almost constantly and I'm sure people think I'm crazy. But I don't care because He is the most faithful God and He is all that matters!

“Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more." Isaiah 54:4-6

This verse speaks to me because it's God saying that no matter what, He's got my back. He will not allow me to feel shamed, used, or neglected by anything of this earth. Instead, He will lift me up in His arms and love me until I forget all of my pain and sorrow.
