It has been SO VERY LONG since I have been here or anywhere in bloggy land. I have missed being here. Finding time to sit and write and most especially to sit and read has been difficult. The last few days God placed many of you on my heart, so I decided to take some time today to write. I have missed reading your blogs, your sweet words of encouragement, your funny stories, and your insightful comments.
What is on my heart today is CHRIST…mainly because I find myself in a place where I need to lean on Him…where I need to KNOW He is REAL, and He is HERE, and He is ENOUGH. God in His faithfulnees took me to WHO Christ is….more specifically WHO Christ SAYS He is. I thought I would share these Truths with you today.
I AM the BREAD OF LIFE
I AM the LIGHT OF THE WORLD
I AM the DOOR
I AM the GOOD SHEPHERD
I AM the RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
I AM the WAY, AND THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE
I AM the VINE
I AM…I AM
More, more, LORD, I am hungry for more of Who You are. Tell me more….
I AM the LAMB OF GOD
I AM the SON OF GOD
I AM the MESSIAH
I AM the KING OF ISRAEL
I AM the KING OF KINGS
I AM the LORD OF LORDS
I AM your PORTION
I AM your STRENGTH
I AM LIVING WATER
Oh, how I need to hear these words today. How about you? To know that no matter what lies in front of me, HE IS ENOUGH!! HE WILL PROVIDE!!
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are my ALL IN ALL, THE STRENGTH OF MY HEART AND MY PORTION FOREVER. I confess to You that I don’t always come to You first…I worry and fret. I fear. I lie awake at night. Then I sense Your sweet Presence, Your Peace. You remind me that You are TRUTH. You are ALL AUTHORITY. You are LIFE. You are in CONTROL. You LOVE ME!!! Father, give me a heart that trusts You, that believes You for all things…even those hard things I questions and do not understand. Make my heart tender to hear Your voice, to receive Your Peace in its fullness!! Help my unbelief. Show me Your Might and Your Power in the midst of my circumstances. Reach down and touch me in a very real way so I KNOW You are here. I love You, Lord. Thank You for loving me and caring about even the very hairs on my head. I wait for You in this dry and weary land…fill me with Your LIVING WATER, feed me with Your BREAD OF LIFE. I ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen

And "I AM" is yours, He is ours. He is our One and Only!
Love you friend. Praying for you and Lauren daily. You are in my heart and prayers.

That was beautiful. While I hate feeling the pain and inadequacy of "needing" God, I love the fact that He is all sufficient and completely fulfilling. I would never learn that were it not for those inadequate moments.
Love,
Sandy
Oh Wendy, you have no idea how my heart needed to read this and believe this today.
Thank you.
love,
Lelia
thank you so very much… I too needed to hear this at this very moment. Life gets hard, but he truly is all we need. I just wish the demons weren't so close at hand to steal our Jesus Joy..
What a great word. Yes, He is the great I AM. Praying for you and Lauren and for his strength and peace to cover you all.
I too needed this reminder today. I think I need to remember more that when I begin to fret to just know that He is.
Love you,
Jenn
Wendy,
Thank you for posting such sweet words of encouragement! I love the Truth of God. I LOVE the sword of the Spirit.
I don't know if you did this already, but if you didn't…say the truths you wrote out loud and passionately. Almost like you conducting a praise session. Oh my word it feels good!
God is so good!
Prayers and blessings,
Rebecca
Wendy,
You and your daughter are in my prayers. A beautiful devotion and I sooooo needed the words you reminded me of. A song that is out right now – I do not know the artist but the name is He Is – part of the chorus is "He is, He was, He always will be" He is – I am!!!
Thank you,
Sherry
I loved this, sweet friend!! Thank you for this post! He is amazing, isn't He?
Hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Hugs!
Susan
That HE is!
Amen! Praying for you…
