MY HIDING PLACE
At the beginning of the Renewal
My only desire
was to become closer
to my new found Friend, Jesus
I wanted ALL
that He was doing in my life to remain
just between the two of us
I enjoyed our walks together
Our times in the Secret Place
HIS PRESENCE
which continually kept me close to His Heart
and Him close to mine
However; it wasn't long
before the Holy Spirit began to "move" upon me
at inopportune times ~~~ IN PUBLIC!
I felt self-conscious to "fall" during worship
and Communion
I didn't want to be lying on the floor
I wanted to stay hidden!
He kept reminding me that He did not
"LIGHT THE TORCH"
to hide it
The manifestations continued to increase...
I complained to Him that IT was getting worse,
but He replied,
"NO ~ IT'S GETTING BETTER!"
Many times
His Perspective is different than mine!
Even though I may have appeared strange
to those around me
I chose to continue to yield to the Holy Spirit
I had wanted His Fullness for so long
I could not quench Him
because I was embarrassed
GOD knew my desire to yield
and
my reservations about always wondering
what people think
He shared with me the secret of His Hiding Place
It's a place of ultimate Communion with Him
where the opinions of the world
are not allowed to enter
I can rest in His Hiding Place
receiving His Fullness
and
not be concerned about what people think
because I am shielded with His Favor
His Approval!
The world cannot penetrate
His Shield and His Covering over me!
His Light can still shine beneath the Safety of His Wings
My Hiding Place!
***
GOD, remind me to stay in the Hiding Place!
Don't let me be concerned about what others think
Your Approval is the only one I seek
Forgive me for being embarrassed by Your Work in me
I will yield without reservations!
I WILL RECEIVE
ALL
THAT YOU HAVE FOR ME
IN ANY FORM
YOU CHOOSE!
I AM HONORED
BY
YOUR PRESENCE
IN MY LIFE!!!
