ALLOW GOD TO INDIVIDUALIZE YOUR PERSONAL PLAN OF FAITH Psalms 139:1-7
GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS:
Our individual relationships with God require an understanding of His existence in us, around us and throughout everything we can think or feel. Psalms 139:1-7 says " O Lord you have searched me, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down, you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in...behind and before, you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge it is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?"
When we really begin to think about the presence of God in our lives, and how intricately He is already a part of who we are we should not question how close to us God wants to be. The fact that God is already so close to us should tell us how much He wants to be a part of our most personal plans of faith.
I believe that God has a plan for each of our lives that does not change until we mess our lives up so much that the plan has to be amended, but the goal and God's objective for us continue even then. Sometimes it will take most of our life to get back on the course He has set for us, and many times we are too stubborn to allow God to ever rule in our lives to the point that His intent for us can ever be realized. My point is that we all have a pattern that God desires for our lives, but we can never know what that is unless we are totally surrendered to Him.
I think we have to start by simply recognizing that we cannot escape the presence of God within us anyway. We cannot fight against God and win, and we have no control over how little or how much God can be a part of our lives. We can, of course, reject Him in our daily lives, but that will only lead to our being miserable all of our natural life. I know what that is like, and I do not recommend it to anyone.

We cannot bear spiritual fruit without allowing ourselves to be close to God. He wants us to become fully developed in the Power of His Spirit. He wants for us to reach our fullest potential in Christ just as we were created to be.
No one knows us better than our creator, or what is better for us than He does. It is my prayer that we can wake up to understand just how close He is right now in our lives and how much closer that He wants to be in us. As close to us as our next breath, and forever in every beat of our hearts. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
THE UNWORTHY SERVANT
