8-8-14 “SWEATING”
Dear Father God,
Today when I shut
down all the negative thoughts and decided to enjoy my time in you while
walking my mile or so distance for exercise and mental relaxation; and I began to sweat profusely
until the sweat began to run down into my eyes and I finally found out what it
meant when people said they “had sweat burning their eyes.” Because that was a feeling that I had never
known before because I just didn't sweat – unless I was very close to my
internal body temperature overheating, and usually that was followed by the
seeing of stars, the spinning of the world around me and the high possibility that I might pass out from heat exposure.
Then you have me a revelation that blessed me
spiritually. Before when I sweated it
was because of a negative reason. Now
when I sweat, for the first time in my life of 40 years old, I sweat because I
intend to, by walking at least a mile a day and for a purpose – to get my weight
down and to get off these blood pressure medications. I look forward to the sweat and I am
disappointed somewhat if I don’t get a good down drenching.
Before I didn't sweat and before I didn't see much weight
loss and my health continually declined.
Today I sweat and I feel better and I look better and I know that my
health has got to be improving.
Maybe before I didn't really want to sweat and made a
conscious decision not to… Now I am choosing to be the best me I can, by any
means necessary. I sweat to have
fellowship with you, so sweat is not a bad thing after all and it has taken me
time to grow up and embrace what a little physicality can do to benefit me.
The sweat at times represent my walk of faith and how
determined I am to see this weight come off; and moreover my determination to
see my faith payoff and I walk into my Land of Promise - blessed as I come and as
I go – fit and healthy and walking in my purpose and fulfilling my calling.
Not even the sweat of my life is wasted and I can see you in
the drops as I work out my own soul salvation.
I know that some people think that I am taking you too seriously, too
literally but who can separate me from the love of God? You are in
every detail of my life and can be seen if we only choose to receive what you
are revealing to us by and through faith.
I might be crazy – crazy enough to want to see my God and to believe
that you are with me daily, in the insignificant and the important, the
impertinent and the pertinent. I cannot
separate you from all that I am because it is you that will cause me to be all
that I am to be.
When we choose to see you, you will reveal yourself,
sometimes even through the mirror image of a sweat droplet.
I love you Father and I ask all these things in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen-
