People who love listening to lies – that is what I was reading this morning in Ezekiel 13. This is a strong, blasting message about, and to, people who love to listen to lies. It hit me right between the eyes – last week I listened to the lies and felt anger, bitterness, pity, hopelessness. I wallowed in them.
They say ‘God says…when God hasn’t so much as breathed in their direction’. I say everything is fine when inside the hurt burns and I believe the lies from the Liar to my soul. I slap on white wash and make it look like a good coating when it is only covering lies that become destroying mould to the soul.
This morning as I sit quietly by the fire, listening to the rain and seeking sacred space, I seek truth about those destroying feelings of anger, bitterness, pity and hopelessness. I see them for what they are – feelings connected to the lies that I listened to over the last few days. Vicious lies to my soul that I listened to and hugged close - yet again. They were not God breathed at all. He says I’ll let the hurricane of my wrath loose…You’ll realize I am God.
I want the gentle rain of love, not a hurricane of wrath. I want the truth of peace, not the lies of restlessness and bitterness. I ask Jesus to romance my soul into His love more deeply. Jesus tells me I’ve moved heaven and earth, shaken its foundation at Calvary to make you Mine. I’ve called you by name to make you Mine. I’ve written your name on the palm of my hands to show you you are Mine. Today I need to remind you that my wrath is on the teller of the lies that make you doubt these truths. You are Mine and nothing, nor anyone, “absolutely nothing can get between us”.
The Liar tries to re-open old wounds. The truth from the Lover of my soul is the healing ointment to them. I thank God for the friends, who love me, that spoke truth into the lies and held up the mirror of His heart for me to see the truth. I step into the day with expectation of romance from my Beloved who says you are Mine”.
