“Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:” 1 Corinthians 5:7 KJV “Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” Psalm 51:10, 17 KJV
As I was pondering on the events of my life, I realized how Yah truly loves us. He loves us by not allowing us to stay in our wicked/current way. He allows us to go through trials and tribulations to purge the crooked way out of us and develop His way in our actions, thoughts, and desires. Just as a mother pours into a child. The way of the world teaches parents to give into the desires of a child to keep them happy. So they grow up thinking love is when someone makes them happy. That is not the way of Yah. Yah guides His children in the direction that is more beneficial for them. That is why He gives us His Torah. These are the guidelines that guide us to live our best life together with family and friends. He feeds the treasures that can not be bought with money and are more valuable than anything this world could offer. That is love. As mothers we show that same love to our Master’s children. We guide them in the right direction. We teach them. We correct the iniquities that they were born with. We teach them how to overcome the hard lessons that we learned so they won’t have to go through them. We keep the Torah before their faces so they learn to love Yah more than anything or anyone. We instill an excellent spirit, contrite heart, and a strong desire for perfect Holiness. They become vessels for the Father’s use. That is how mothers show their love for the children, their role, and Yah. So as we go through trials and tribulations know it’s Yah loving us. As we endure the purging process, know that it’s Yah loving us. As YHWH showes us through His Holy Spirit that we have wicked ways and spirits that need to come out of us for our peace, know that is Yah loving us. As we grow in relationship with Him, we become more like the chase bride that He is coming back for. Because of that love, he won’t leave us dirty with sin, but will cover us in His blood to make us pure and Holy. Because of His love, Yah won’t leave us wondering/confused of His ways, but will teach us righteousness. There is no greater love than His. All we have to do in return is show our love through obedience, lay down our ways for His ways, and erase our thoughts for His as we take on the mind of Jesus Christ. Just a few things to encourage you along the Race as we continue Living Like He’s Coming, shalom.
