Uncomfortable

This week is Week of Prayer @ Calvary.

Last Night we focused on searching out hidden sin and just making sure our hearts were aligned with God's. I know that for me, the last year has been a ginormous dose of that, so last night I found God pointing out little things to me, and as He was doing so, I decided that some times it is the little things that can be the most uncomfortable to have removed.

Sometimes it is easier to have a steel pole removed than it is a splinter. They both hurt, but if the pole comes out easier than the splinter than the smaller splinter can be as uncomfortable or more to have removed.

I have ben finding that I am more afraid of the pain of the removal of the "splinters" in my spiritual life, and am like the little kid who pulls their hand away when you come at them with the tweezers.

But the splinters have to go.

God can't make me whole until I let him pull out even the littlest splinter in my soul.

It isn't comfortable at all but it needs to be done.

Tonight our focus is on Unity, Guidance and Empowerment...

ugh, yes! haha.

I think you are on your way Stacey... i do think its always easier to get rid of the obvious, bigger sin then it is the stuff that you keep secret... or stuff that you necessarily don't want to own up to... but God has a way to keep bringing it up until you finally decide to do something about it!

hooray!
