00:13 It amazes me that God can take our lives,
00:16 and some of our lives are just so broken, 00:18 so twisted, and we have never, it is like when Christian 00:23 was talking, and he is talking about stepping out of all that. 00:27 Coming out of his home, coming into Child Protective 00:30 Services, doing all that kind of stuff and not even 00:32 knowing, can I even trust these people. 00:34 Can I even do that? 00:36 God is going to take that broken life and restore him 00:40 back to what he was created to be. 00:42 Someone asked me, you know Cheri doesn't that sound 00:44 like pop psychology or whatever? 00:46 I could tell in their voice that what they were saying 00:49 was I don't believe any of that. 00:51 I hear what you're saying, but I think for some of us 00:56 we can't fully look at God and say God I receive it all. 01:00 I receive it all, I'm going to step out of all this stuff 01:03 and the next day I'm going to be a hundred percent filled 01:06 with the Holy Spirit, filled with love and all the stuff 01:08 is going to fall off. 01:09 We don't even know how to do that. 01:10 So how ever you have to get to the point where you 01:13 can start allowing God to let some of that stuff go, 01:15 some of it may be that you call someone up and say, 01:18 I need to talk about anger. 01:21 I need to talk about my depression, I need to talk to 01:25 somebody about that and if you have to do that, I don't 01:27 care what you label the person, whether it is a friend, 01:30 a counselor, a pastor, an elder in your church, 01:33 but talk about it. 01:35 And it's not because God needs the time, God doesn't. 01:37 He says I have healing for you the minute you look up. 01:42 I want to bring you to a place of healing. 01:43 I want to, as your Father, as your friend, 01:46 as your counselor, I want to hold you until that hurt 01:50 is just gone in your life. 01:52 I so want to do that, but for some of us 01:54 we can't do that. 01:55 It took me 21 years to let God say, 01:58 Cheri I think you have trust issues. 01:59 I'm like, I don't either. 02:01 God is like, you so do and I love you. 02:05 I think how cool is it that He never, it's like 02:08 He is so gentle with us, that He never said, 02:11 Cheri you have to stop doing that. 02:14 You have to work on those trust issues. 02:15 I've waited, I've been patient with you and 02:19 your taking way too long. 02:20 He never did that, He said, if it's going to 02:22 take you longer, I'll be right there. 02:24 If it takes you longer than that, I'll be right there. 02:27 I think how incredibly cool are you! 02:29 That You will not rush us, You will not force us, 02:32 but any time we can get it. 02:34 Anytime we can look up and say God, today I get it 02:38 and I am going to release this to You. 02:40 I'm going to allow You to pour love into me, 02:43 because it is who I am. 02:45 I am created to do this, I am created to be this, 02:47 I'm created to have people around me that I love 02:51 and to allow myself to love them. 02:54 I am created to do that, I'm created to love my 02:56 children not beat them, not yell at them and 02:59 not being so incense. 03:00 So if you are stuck in any of these places I hope 03:02 that you heard what Christian said, that God and all 03:06 of heaven is waiting for you to say, okay I'm done. 03:10 I've tried everything, I can't do any of this anymore. 03:13 Come into my life and walk me through every step. 03:16 Teach me how to forgive. 03:17 Teach me how to let go of this anger. 03:19 Teach me to let go of all this stuff. 03:22 He will, I love that. 03:24 Until we see you next, I want you to know that God is crazy 03:28 about you and we are too. 03:30 God bless, bye-bye! |
