My dearest sister in Christ,
I received your letter today. I want you to know that your cries for help in desperation were heard. Not only from me but (especially) from your Heavenly Father above. I was moved to compassion by your heartfelt prayer to God asking for the removal of the desires in your heart that do not please Him. Your longing to live with a pure heart that is led not by the flesh but by His Spirit is guiding my pen.
I want to encourage you to continue in your seeking after Him. Continue to cry out to Him, for this is our calling as daughters of the Most High King:
“So then brothers (sisters), we are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons (daughters) of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but the Spirit of adoption as sons (daughters), by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!'” ~ Romans 8:13-15 (ESV)
Cry out to the One who created your heart dear sister. For only He knows your heart completely. Only He can change your heart from being a heart of stone to a heart of flesh. From being a heart that is desperately wicked and deceitful to one that desires His pleasure. As his daughter He promises to change your heart into a heart that seeks only after His beauty, His holiness. Don’t stop crying out sweet sister! Follow hard after Him by spending time in His word and learning of Him….desiring Him.
Take heart sister for I am praying for your heart to be steadfast in the excellent pursuit of DESIRING for God and God alone.
Psalm 27: 1-8
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh,
they stumbled and fell.
Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock.
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:
therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:
have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,
Thy face, Lord, will I seek
Blessings and Holiness to you sister,
Susan
