scratching the surface

There is something about letting it all out. Even if it is just a blog. I'm new here, you see? I've been writing for years....my hopes, dreams, prayers, troubles....on and off. But, there's something in me, the Holy Spirit of course, that when something is on my heart and I can just come sit down and let er' fly and it just comes flowing out! I really don't even know what it's going to start w/, where it's going or how it's going to end. All I know is if the Lord is guiding me to write something, I'm going! There is so much inside that I have only scratched the surface on. My eyes open wider. My hearing is more clearer. I see things differently....that is when I dig in the Bible and realize that I have a long way to go, I've only scratched the surface! Sometimes it kind of seems like everything I've been told or thought, I need to look up myself, because everything isn't how or what I thought it was and the Bible is perfect! There are many things I don't understand yet and again, I've only scratched the surface on many different areas. A lot of it is learning to retrain my thinking, words and reactions. I need to kill my flesh! This may not make any sense to anyone else. Maybe, nobody will ever even read this, but it's deeper than the scratch on the surface. We learn, grow and become more mature in the spiritual realm and that is so deep. Many don't even realize that we are built just like God: he has three: father, son and holy spirit....us: spirit, mind and soul....It just saddens me greatly when people won't even give Jesus the time of day! He DIED for them! It takes faith to believe something like this. It's not that they don't believe, they are just deciding to believe the unbelief. There is something greater than this! There is a reason and purpose! But, the bible says, to the unsaved the bible will seem foolish and it will be like they have blinders on. That's why we have to PRAY!>  Intercessory prayer: designated time to pray for others/world. There is so much Jesus done for us and we don't even accept it! I think sometimes people just want to rebel, resist, reject and have it the hard way or be bad. I don't know what the Lord has in store for us or what His plans are, but I know we have to be ready to spread and speak His Word and if we are walking around with our heads hanging, wallowing in self-pity, depressed and thinking why me, and after all it's not about us!  How can we really be a witness to someone else? Jesus said, to let His light shine through us and so when others see it they will want it too. Rebuke the Devil in Jesus name and he has to flee!
