Prepare the Way of the Lord!

By Bonnie 2 Comments

Prepare the Way of the Lord!

A voice of one crying out:

Prepare the way of the Lord in the wilderness;

make a straight highway for our God in the desert.

Isaiah 40:3 (HCSB)

 

Are you facing difficulty today?  Jesus wants you to know that whatever wilderness you find yourself in, you have been prepared for it since before the foundation of the earth. Our Savior does not give us things we are not spiritually ready for.  Who walks without taking the first step?  Who runs a marathon before running a mile?

We often think that the struggles of this life make their way to us from out of nowhere because we cannot see them coming.  When life takes a turn, we say, “It came out of the blue.”

This is far from the truth.

Just as Jesus prepared your heart to welcome him, he prepares your heart for more of him.

Since the day you were born, he has been equipping you for this very moment.

When I look over my life, I see what Jesus has given me – all of his grace, all of his love, all of his mercy.  Nothing has been wasted and my past is my proof.  Preparation means my flesh must be weak for his Spirit to be strong.

When there is more of him, and less of me, I can give glory to God.

Giving glory to God, when life is hard, prepares the way for him to work in the lives of others.  They see the Spirit, not the flesh, and they want him.

Purpose is given to the suffering.

Are you the voice of one crying out?  Jesus wants you to know that he hears you and he is with you every step of the way.  One day your preparation will be complete because you will live in perfect fellowship with him.  When that day comes, all of your life will make sense.  Hold on to the hope of heaven and look to the sky for his coming.  Trust him for his return and for the promise of perfect, eternal life with him.  Live here, with a heart that knows,  joy is coming.

I pray you Live Like You Know,

"Bonnie's words, whether spoken or written, come alongside the woman who needs to know or be reminded that the living God lives in her. Not only is He living in her, He yearns to take her, daily, to a fresh and deep place with Him. Bonnie is that gentle reminder we all need."

"Bonnie speaks a personal narrative of finding assurance of the Father’s presence and purpose in the midst of spiritual, emotional, and physical battles that many women face today. She has truly set her heart on pilgrimage, (Ps. 84:5) compelling women to join her in the journey toward knowing Christ intimately. Through her application of scripture and poetic prose, Bonnie refreshes thirsty souls."

"My most memorable moment from Bonnie's Assured! Study was that our opportunity to share Christ and show love is as close as the woman in front of us. Bonnie spoke so eloquently about how we run into people everyday and how a kind word or smile makes an impact for God. Bonnie has cards made up just in case she runs across a woman who needs to know that she is loved and that God cares about what she is going through. Bonnie reminded us that in this world of overwhelming need, the answer to where do I start, how do I help, how do I show grace and mercy, etc, begins with a little notice. Don't be so busy that we don't recognize those that God brings across our paths every day - they may be the very people that God wants us to touch. Participating in the Bible study refreshed me in that area. What a blessing! So now I just try to be a blessing to whoever God brings my way."

"The courage in Bonnie Wallace is undeniable, the strength in her enviable. And the pureness of joy that flows out of her sincere desire for Heaven, that alone draws you to want more time with her. Bonnie ministers to a hurting heart without trying, with a comfort that can only come from one who has gone before."
