So this week in my class lecutre we had a guest speaker named Gwen. We focused on our own specific designs. We talked about our different personalities, dreams, experiences, identities, spiritual gifts and other gifts.
The area that hit home the most for me was my identity in Christ. Too often I look to others love for me or to my gifts to find worth and value. During the class at Cross Timbers, Foundations of Freedom, we talked a lot about this issue of identity. How the only way for your heart to really recieve the truth it needed was to ask God questions about your identity and have him speak directly to your heart. I have spent much of these past 2 weeks asking God to speak to me about who I am and who He is.
God spoke the word "Beloved" over me and said, "I didn't set you a part from the very beginning of creation so that you could run to other lovers." I long for intimacy with God and to know His love and His character more. I want to know in my heart who I am in Him.
There is a battle going on. One minute I am hungering for God and knowing that only he can satisfy and then next I am turning to others to give me value. One minute I am enjoying reading the Bible and the next it seems like the most boring and difficult of task. I feel so fickle. It's in your hands God. I surrender it all to you God.
About Me
- Miranda Ward
- There have been two consistent passions in my life, and I have been unaware until recently of how God would utilize both. At the age of 3 I told my parents that I wanted to be a singer for Christ. The other passion that God has given me developed from much pain and heart ache. Growing up I had a false belief that children are fair game for predators and that Satan really had ultimate authority over their life. God has radically changed my point of view and I now believe that God has authority over the lives of children. I want to make myself available to stand in the gap for children and share the love of God with them. I also want to love on adults who are in need of healing from abuse wounds. The healing that I have received has been only through the Holy Spirit and often times healing has occurred in the presence of worship. My desire is to offer up my life, my voice and my prayers believing that God can and will bring healing to others as he has healed me.
