Psalm 26:2-3 NIV Test
me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for Your love is ever
before me, and I will walk continually in Your truth.
We must ask God to
examine our heart and mind; so we are able to walk before Him continually in
truth. I have prayed this prayer many a time because I wanted more than
anything else on this earth to be in the will of my Father.
He showed me the truth
when He revealed His Beloved Son to me through the supernatural power of the
Holy Spirit of God and I was ever grateful to Him for this. I no longer wished
to walk in the darkness but walk only in the light with my Saviour and Lord. I
never realised before I had a personal relationship with Jesus, how much I had
been out of His will. It was only when the truth of Christ came into my heart
that I could now see how wrong I’d been. I did not intend to be out of God’s will
any longer this is the choice I made when the truth was revealed to me.
I began praying and reading the
Word of God and as I did this His truth began to unfold within my heart and my
relationship with God began to grow. I began to understand things which I could
never understand before. God filled me in His wisdom, knowledge, insight and
understanding and gave me discernment to enable me to get to know Him further.
The more I read about God the
more I wanted from Him. I was like a sponge soaking up everything I could and
my passion now was built upon the Rock and foundation of Christ. I yearned and
thirsted for the Lord Jesus Christ. Everywhere I went and the opportunities I
was given I would speak and tell the people what God had done for me; He also
could do for them if they confessed their sins and invited Him into their
hearts.
Sometimes, I was liked
for doing this and other times I was rejected when man did not want to hear the
Good News of the Gospel. This however did not deter me. I knew the importance
of speaking out to others and wanted them to be redeemed and saved and forgiven
from their sins, so they would not be lost in the darkness but brought into the
light having a real relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Having experienced
myself the joy and glory of God’s Salvation I wanted them also to come into His
Kingdom to enjoy it too.
It was important to
me whether they liked it or not they could never say they were not told about
Jesus Christ. The Word of God had been spoken to them. I could not make the
decision for them but what I could do was tell them the truth and then it is up
to them whether they listen or not. The responsibility for their souls and
spirits are not mine to carry. As long as I am obedient to God all He requires
from me is to speak out when asked and then pray for these people after that it
is between them and God.
