I was like the woman in Luke 7:36-50 breaking all that was left in me. Though this time I wasn't shouting with the crowd Happy Year's meanwhile still feeling empty inside or crying Lord complete me. I was sitting in awe of Jesus blessings to me this past year. I had nothing but thanks to pour out to Him for breaking me in 2013. As the pastor preached the excitement of experiencing a new life journey with Jesus flashed before men. The final days of 2013 became refreshing and hard for me as Jesus showed me my prayers and fasting had been heard, the seeking of His face had taken place. A life time experience of me acknowledging Jesus revealing Himself to me and my own unveiling to myself and Him.
Reflecting on the unveiling, I begin to see how He has transformed me and my thinking from being a Christian to living a Christian life style. Taking me out of my comfort zone in order for us to truly be alone, allowing me to hear His voice when He spoke to me. He strategically placed me in a desert place to rekindle Himself in me, showing me this time alone was to empty me of the distraction that consumed me from what He always had for me.
During this breaking I learned to love Godly, the features on forgiveness, starting with forgiveness of myself to except forgiveness of others, taking on the pain of others, the need to go deeper. Finally, I was able to see the Son in the middle of darkness, flashing before me my past became a blur; appearing as if I never suffered through these life experiences. Never had I acknowledge my tragedies, miracles, and blessing as my existing purpose or testimony until he revealed these things and unveiled me from captivity to allow me to help others who need to be broken and restored at His feet. In a sermon I recall the Pastor saying, "worship is the act of sacrificially giving to Jesus something that is precious to you". My worship became a transition as I enter this new year His fragrance I bow to wear.
In this New Year of 2014, Do you have a thirst to take on the fragrance of Jesus ? And of what percentage are you willing to sacrifice to unveil yourself to sit at Jesus feet ?
