Encountering God

I had such an encounter with the Lord last evening. Do you know that if we silence ourselves in His presence, we will hear Him speak?

That's what I did last evening and I was so broken before the Lord. He began to show me the condition of my heart - the deception, the meanness, the unkind thoughts and actions etc. I was in bed weeping and sobbing till I felt the Lord forgave me.

At the end of my time with the Lord, He reminded me that just the week past when we celebrated Good Friday and Easter, He died for all my sins and He loves unconditionally. I was filled with remorse and wished that I had repented much earlier. I decided in my heart to turn over and allowed the Word of God to fill my heart again. I read Ps 86 and realised that I am indeed poor and needy. I cried to ask the Lord to save me and have mercy on me. Vs 5 - You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

I ended my time with a prayer to the Lord to teach me His ways and to walk in His truth. His ways are loving and kind. Unite my heart to fear Your name and I will praise You.
