00:15 It's incredible to me to look
00:17 at how individual everybody 00:18 walk is and it sounds like 00:20 sometimes we are all coming 00:22 from different things and some 00:24 is similar, but to God it really is individual. 00:27 I love it, He brought me to Lamentations one time. 00:30 Lamentations 3:21 and I am going to go all the way to 23 or 24 00:35 In 21 it says, "This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. 00:40 Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed. " 00:44 When I think of that because of our behaviors why should 00:50 we are driving drunk, or yelling at our wives, our families 00:55 should be totally split apart. 00:57 I think that we are not consumed because God is walking around 01:01 with a lightning bolt seeing who He can throw it at. 01:03 It is just our own stuff. 01:05 We have enough of our own garbage. 01:07 Through His mercies, He just covers that, He puts His hand 01:10 on, He just takes care of us. 01:14 It says that through His mercies we are not consumed because 01:19 His compassions fail not. 01:21 They are new every morning: great is Your faithfulness. 01:24 To me that is amazing that in this journey as I give it to God 01:29 as I turn it over to God, as we look at, Geri you were 01:33 talking about getting the right book and all that. 01:37 As we surrender all that is that we have to realize that God's 01:40 mercy, His guidance, His love for us is new every single 01:43 morning, He doesn't rest in our recovery, we may lax and go 01:49 years and stay in denial, but God doesn't. 01:52 He continuously figures a way to get us to look at it again. 01:56 To step out of line, to step out of our denial stuff. 01:59 To step out of our fears, to step out of our criticism. 02:03 To step out of, and this is a tough one, our unforgiveness. 02:07 You know that I blamed every body on the planet for every 02:10 single thing that happened to me and one day God said will you 02:13 let them off the hook? 02:14 I am like, no! Of course I am not going to, are You crazy? 02:19 He says, Hon, Hon stop, let them off the hook. 02:23 Forgive them and He started showing me even with the people 02:25 in my life, how they got to be where they are at. 02:28 I started to have compassion on the very people that injured me. 02:33 I thought God how do You do that? 02:35 He does that because His mercies are new every day. 02:38 He wants to teach us about recovery, He wants to get us 02:43 in a place where we can finally say for once and all times, 02:47 I trust You. 02:48 I am going to let go and let God. 02:52 It is an amazing place to be. 02:53 I am going to rely on every thing that God knows 02:56 because I know nothing. 02:57 So I want to say thanks for joining us this week 02:59 We will see you next week and until then always remember 03:02 that God is crazy about you Me too! 03:04 God bless. |
