The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:

 “This is the covenant I will make with them
    after that time, says the Lord.
I will put my laws in their hearts,
    and I will write them on their minds.”

 Then he adds:

“Their sins and lawless acts
    I will remember no more.”

 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.

(Hebrews 10:12-18)

I have recently been humbly brought to my knees by three women in my life whom have bestowed wisdom to me that I had to recognize as God.  In my arrogance I assumed that Gods presence left their lives when I was not present in them.  That I was responsible for their growth because I had been a small opening in Christ to them.  

I cannot express the joy I have found in hearing from them, and knowing that God has already written the law in their hearts and in the their minds, and more, beckons them daily to take up their cross and follow Him. It is great encouragement at the beginning of a call into ministry that God would bring a harvest before the mission has even begun.  I am overwhelmed that He would bless me with such a gift, and have me know that He will bring others from the body to teach nourish and testify to their spirits.  Not only this but the promise of God having already put the law in their minds and in their hearts... How could I have tried to take responsibility for that which was not mine.  The responsibility and the glory is not mine, but His.  Of this I repent of today.

To rest in the know that God is at work always, and we need not strive, but simply obey.  To have our obedience influence eternity, or not influence it will be what our judgment will call us on in the end.  Head lifted toward the Father, our best efforts are only made pure by Him, in Him.  

"...Faith is the least self regarding of the virtues. It is by its very nature scarcely conscious of its own existence.  Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupies with the object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all.  While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance...

...The man who has tried to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with His soul and looks away to the perfect one...

Faith looks out instead of in and the whole life falls into line..."  Tozer 

How can it be that you would make my path strait when I had settled to wander?  How could you know that my greatest needs were to be overwhelmed with you, in you once again.  The mystery of the way you weave and spin our lives into place.  In your will, in my heart.  Our spiritual lives a beautiful tapestry weaved among the saints. Truly you give water to the thirsty and they no longer thirst.  In you there is no other truth, and in you the truth is endless. How can it be that you allow us to discover the mysterious way you work?  To be included in the mysterious way you are working. I can only fall to my face and ask humbly for more of you, at whatever cost you have required.  My obedience being a small price to pay to have your hand guiding me.  

You are it, you are my all, and in this space outside of time with you I am so grateful.  Keep that in my heart and my mind, forever.
