Default My Deliverer

Salvation by definition = deliverance. Jesus has delivered me from drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, wild living and many obvious things. He is still daily delivering me from less obvious things- sin, iniquity- foolishness- anger - the list could go on forever. And yet He does not get weary of this but everyday brings me a little closer to His heart. The nearer I draw the more I see of Him. The more I see of Him the more I am changed. The more I am changed the more I seek to be even nearer to Him. I cannot loose. Sure I stumble, make mistakes and just plain screw up and yet when I look up there He is with outstretched arms waiting to lift me back up. How great is this love that he can see past my flesh and still see value in me. It is His love that sustains me.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Amazing!! We must have been hearing from the same God! (Smile) A similar thought came to me last night as I was laying in bed meditating. You could not have said it better. It is something only a person like those on this forum could understand because they have experienced the ongoing love of God. It's the answer to all the searching we did before when we were into the above-mentioned sins. That's why He wants us to share all this with others who don't know the way we have found.

And sharing with others becomes easier as we keep growing and learning His wisdom. Don't stop. We're "ona' roll."
