This is the last challenge for the week. Each week God has dug a little deeper into the things that challenge us, the things we quit on, the things we stuff and don't share. God loves to clean house and we are God's temple. We house His presence and He operates through us to the degree that we allow him. Sometimes, we have to be brought down to be built up. Walls we have built to protect ourselves, are often unstable, wobbly, unsafe and keep people out rather than let God and His word in. All that changes starting today. God gives us everything we need.
We often see Father God the way Kelly Clarkson saw her natural father. A father that walks away and doesn't care for us when we fail to be perfect, and have nothing to offer Him. We blame ourselves when we are far from God or can't sense His presence. But, He is wanting to restore us, as He restored Kelly. God wants to take care of us, even more than Kelly promises to take care of her daughter.
Piece by Piece (Brick by Brick), every word of God, that we get down on the inside of us builds us into a strong foundation and a house that God inhabits. Forgiveness is a cement that holds.
ACTION STEP: It's a snowy day. Most things are cancelled. Take some time to stand before God as a child and talk to Him about your true identity. Listen to the song below and get the truth of God's word down on the inside of you. Believe what God says. Lay yourself down at His feet--every failure and every victory. You have taken the challenge this week. Finish strong. Forgive and move on. I see someone right now broken in tears, trembling as all the past is flowing out of them through their tears. God is washing your heart. Get ready this is your year. This wasn't just a challenge, this is the Potter's way of making you all He has called you to be. This is your year! Keep going now! God will give you everything you need. I will be praying for you.
