Talk about being walloped by God! I read this verse this morning and it really messed me up... sooo good.
Ezekiel 20:22 "... You will know that I am the LORD, when I deal with you for my name's sake and NOT according to your evil ways and your corrupt practices, O house of Israel, declares the Sovereign LORD.' "
God is teaching me that everything He does is for HIS name's sake... never for mine. Though He has plans to honor me and to see me prosper, its ALL for His sake... for His name to be glorified. I'm letting Him deal with me on these grounds more and more because I know He lets me decide how much I give Him and how much I let Him in.
Behold, He stands at my door and knocks. I have heard His voice. I am opening door after door for Him. He is coming deeper and deeper into my heart, motives, actions, words, waking, sleeping, seeking, DREAMING!
All i Can for HIS Name's Sake,
