Streams In The Wasteland

"For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams." -Isaiah 44:3-4

 I am so captivated by God's heart for us. Over the past month I've been experiencing His heart like never before. At then end of January I was coming out of a hard season in my life where I wasn't really listening to God and I just kind of did my own thing. God spoke to me, when I finally admitted my wrongs and surrendered, and told me He wanted to place the Bethel anointing in my life. At the time I didn't fully understand or know what that would look like but now I am in the thick of it and it blows my mind. I've been experiencing the love of Jesus like never before. He has brought me into such an intimate season with Him and I don't think I've ever been so in love with Him. Most recently He has been giving me visions. It's the same vision over and over but it is so powerful and always leaves me in greater awe of God. In the vision Jesus is sitting in a chair at a table and I'm sitting at His feet with my knees up to my chin staring at Him with this childlike love. He looks at me with these eyes that are burning with love and wonder. He begins to laugh the most incredible laugh and  I join in. We began talking, I have no idea what we're talking about, but we are just laughing hysterically. I'm sitting there at the feet of my King and He is taking delight in me. There are times when He reaches down to me and takes my hands in His and He cries. In my spirit I can feel that He is crying tears of joy and wonder. "My Child." that's what He calls me. This is the most intimate vision I've ever had and it has changed my life. Jesus is constantly changing my life with His amazing love, but this is so incredible. I mean I just saw myself sitting at the feet of my King. My King who I have disobeyed, denied, fought against, given up hope in. And He is taking delight in me. He is laughing with me, comforting me, and crying over my presence with Him. And there I am sitting at His feet in complete wonder and awe. My heart feels so full it could burst and then He weeps and calls me His child. I am so wrecked by His love. Even as I'm typing this tears stream down my face because I am overwhelmed by my God. I share this with you guys because this is how God looks at us. Jesus is madly in love with us. He just wants us to sit with Him, to rest in His presence, to tell Him about our day and laugh with Him or cry. He wants me. He wants us. I want you guys to see that Jesus wants to sit with you and take delight in you. Isn't that one of the most beautiful truths to discover. That Jesus takes delight in us. Even though we can be so annoying and disobedient and wrong. He still delights in us. There is so much found at the feet of Jesus. Peace, joy, love, restoration, quenched thirst, healing. Just look at the story of Mary and Martha. When Jesus went to stay at their house Mary sat at Jesus' feet listening to Him and soaking in everything that He said, while Martha was distracted and ran about doing work. Martha got frustrated with Mary because she was sitting at Jesus' feet and not helping her. She complained to Jesus and this is what Jesus said "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."(Luke 10:41-42). Jesus wants us to sit down at His feet. He wants to pour His Spirit into us and over us. He want to take all dry ground in your life and water it with His love causing streams to flow through everything that was once dead and dry. God wants to take the dry things in your life and make them quenched. He wants to breathe life into everything in your life that is dead. He wants to give you streams in the wasteland and cover you with flowing streams. All of these things come by sitting at Jesus' feet. I encourage you guys to encounter the heart of Jesus today. Just pray "Jesus I want to be in your heartbeat." If you are desperate and in need of a fresh wave of glory from the lover of your soul, get on your face before God and ask Him to flood your dryness with living water. Jesus doesn't just want you to be saved, He wants you to be filled with His love. He wants to laugh with you and bring redemption and restoration. He loves us so much guys. I pray that everyone who reads this encounters God's heart like they never have before. I pray that you guys experience His supernatural love for you and that your dry grounds become streams of living water as you long to get at His feet. Jesus is calling us to the table because He wants to lavish His love on us as we lavish our praise on Him. Come to the feet of Jesus, it will change your life.- Love Sofia. 

The vibrant blue colors in my skirt and sweater inspired today's post. I love how Jesus uses fashion to remind me of Him.
