Lately, I've been really struggling with all of the obligations in my life. They are all things that I loved doing once upon a time but when they became obligations and mandatory for me to do I find myself dreading them. I hate this. I hate the fact that my heart is no longer in it! I hate the fact that things I once loved are now turning into burdens for me to do! Last night was a prayer night for Wesley, and to be honest I didn't want to go but I knew that I had to for some reason. This is what I heard from God last night:
Let the root of everything that you do be based in me and my love. You are relying on your own strength to get you through. Haven't you heard? Haven't you learned? You can't do anything on your own! I'm here and willing to pour out a storehouse of blessing on you if you would only let me! Surrender yourself to me-truly surrender yourself, my beloved one. When your motivations are found in me, you won't find yourself being burdened anymore. Remember: In Me you live, and move, and find your being!
He then showed me Ezekiel 37. It's the story of the dry bones, but he showed me specifically two parts. The first part was in verse 2-3:
2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
The next part was in the ending of verse 6:
"I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Oh, how this reminded me of my soul! My soul is very dry and then what the Lord says just pours living water into it! "You will come to life" Thank you, Jesus!!
