Search All of Me

1/9/2020
1 Thessalonians 5:23


God search me out. How many times have I actually prayed that? How many of us want God to truly search us out to the deepest  depths of our souls? To ask Him to reveal those dark corners that we choose ourselves to ignore. We easily pray for others and ask for forgiveness for our sins, but do we really enter so deeply into communion with God that we truly submit all to Him? In our humanity, we often times hide those deeper sin areas of our lives from people. We put on a spiritual skin that is acceptable in the sight of others, but peal that skin away when we are alone with only our God watching...only. He is the creator of all and knows all, yet we convince ourselves somehow that certain actions or thoughts are hidden as long as no one can see the truth of our hearts, but He always sees. We can hide those deep sinful valleys from even those closest to us, but we can never hide them from our Heavenly Father. 

Chambers says, "Cleansing from sin is to the very heights and depths of our spirit, if we will keep in the light as God is in the light, and the very Spirit that fed the life of Jesus Christ will feed the life of our spirits."
