His Grieving Heart.....

Have you ever stopped to think if God ever grieves? If His heart actually does break? I do, every time my heart is broken, and I usually ask, " Lord does this break your heart as well? "  When those I love make a choice I know will cause them pain my heart starts to hurt. My heart breaks when I know I can not stop the choices being made nor can I halt the sting of correction that will come. I know we are constantly growing and learning in life, however, when I can see the outcome, the broken pieces before they shatter, my heart's grief is unstoppable.
Many times we see where the Lord had to take drastic measures in the correction of His people. As harsh as it was I believe His heart broke time and time again.
Jeremiah 9:1
Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the daughter of my people!

In this verse I can see God's grief  through the weeping prophet, Jeremiah. I believe if the Lord grieved through Jeremiah, He also grieves through me and my tears as well. Jeremiah lived in a time when God's children had turned their back to Him, a time where the choices they made had the Lord grieving for a nation He called His own. I believe we are once again living in a time where the Lord grieves for His children; a world that has forsaken the love of God and turned what was once righteousness for the Kingdom to blasphemy of the flesh.


God doesn't play the blame game like we do. There is no finger pointing belittling of words shame game from Him. I believe  He grieves for His children and His heart hurts to see the world torn apart from all sides. He weeps for what He created in love, destroyed by hate. I know the devastation of my own heart when I see  Gods intentions become twisted to justify the wrong of this world. Jeremiah's heart cried for those who had forsaken the way of the Lord, as mine cries now.

However the good news, the good good news, just as there was hope for those in Jeremiah's days, there is hope for us today.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

He gives us four things to do.......
Humble ourselves, pray, seek and turn.

And then He tells us the three things He will do......
Hear, forgive and heal!

Those three things are a promise from Him, the love of the Father, wanting to heal all that has become broken over the vast lands He created for all whom He loves. Though His heart may grieve, it is still full of love......

Love for us all.

Humble, pray, seek and turn..............


 Forever His Daughter,

Stacey

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the in...
