Howdy!
I have been learning so much these past 4 weeks. One team time two weeks ago I brought to light that I didn’t understand or even to the extent believe that the Lord loved me. I knew it in my head but not in my heart.
Growing up I always knew the Gospel but only in my head not believing it in my heart. That really took a toll on my relationship with the Father, in reality my relationship with Him was really only him visit me during worship or at camp. It was truly all emotion driven. He would come when I was in pain to comfort me and that was about our relationship.
So I decided to take the step and invite him into my heart. I asked Jesus “Seep all my knowledge of you from my mind and pour it out into my heart. Fill my heart with your love just as you fill up a glass of water. LORD I ask you not to only fill me up but to over fill my cup to the point where I cannot keep your love to myself! Lord I want people to be able to experience your unconditional love with just being in the presence of you through me!!”. In that very moment I fell to my knees and wept for he filled me up in a way that moved my spirit from the claws of the world to the most beautiful place of this perfect peace. I was experiencing the love of the one who created me!!!
It not only affected that one moment the Lords love has been with me since that very moment. It has been so easy abiding n him every day because I don’t even have to acknowledge his presence I can just constantly feel it! I encourage everyone who’s reading this to pray the same prayer, inviting the Lord into your heart. I promise you it will change your life!! (heres a beautiful song for y’all:)

Such wisdom, Ray. Your love for the Lord is overflowing and impacting those near and far from you. I love you!
Raylee, What a beautiful, heartfelt prayer! “Seep all my knowledge of you from my mind and pour it out into my heart.” I love those words specifically because seep is exactly what the Lord does. If He were to move all that head knowledge to our hearts all at one time, we might just explode with the weight of it! His love, His Presence, Himself is just too overwhelming for us all at once. The way He walks with us, talks with us, shows us Himself day by day for a lifetime is so full of grace and beauty and love. I’m so thankful He’s still in the process of slowly seeping head knowledge to my heart at 50 years old! Thanks for sharing, Raylee.
