Hillsong United - The Stand

relationship

its sunday morning,no church this morning because it would be mostly ladies:)  the men are on the island..miss my hubby even tho its only 3 days it feels like a lot longer because i cant text him or talk to him....whats been on my mind the past few days dont know if i can get it right...thinking about my relationship with my abba father..you know relationships grow the more time and effort you put into them,marriage relationships,with your kids...and the more time you put into thm the more you get to know the person...how deep and how far do you want to go with the father,you know its up to me its up to you he doesnt force us to do anything its our choice....it usually requires giving something up something we r hanging on to...but i know if we can surrender the blessings outweigh whatever you give up....so what is holding us back is it fear that he will require to much of us that we will have to give up to much fear of the unknown...but why fear when he is faithful to do above and beyond..and no earthly thing can compare to the sweetness of his prescence the sweetness of the holy spirit!!
