Previous Blog and First Key

For some of you, I had posted a blog earlier which you may have noticed I have removed for a time. I have a reason for that which I'll explain at a later date. I do plan to repost it...so keep checking in.

Matthew 16:19a I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven...
If we ask Him, Jesus will give us this set of keys....

By the way, I decided to tell you the name of the first key. Its the key to unlock the door to your heart. This can only come from God first. As Jesus said:

John 6:44 No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me,

The first key God give us he actually uses himself as he is the only one that can unlock our hearts and release what has been locked up inside. Since God made us He knows us and He knows what makes eash of us tick. Ask God to unlock the door to your heart -those things in you which perhaps have been locked up so long, you don't even know what they are. You will need to be willing to be known for who you are, and willing to have everything laid bare without pretense. There must be a vulnerability and a willingness to be open and honest, especially with ourselves and God. WHEW..and thats just the first key...then we get to see what's really there. Are you ready? It may not be pretty!! Will you want the next key? Maybe next time. For now, pray this through...

In His Service,
Cathy
