Next, I am finding that I am becoming more comfortable with being me.\u00a0 The more I am with Jesus, the more I can see how He sees me.\u00a0 How perfectly accepted and loved I am.\u00a0 One thing that Jesus said to me that I will never forget was, \u201cBob, you are different.\u201d\u00a0 It meant so much on so many different levels.\u00a0 Mainly, it helped me be OK with who I am because He made me this way.\u00a0 It was a life-changing message from Him.<\/p>\n
Tied in with becoming more comfortable with being me is that I am becoming more open to what He made me to do<\/em>.\u00a0 If we have stuff in the way of our relationship with God, our Spiritual gifting will be hindered.\u00a0 I dream of Jesus\u2019 church working with Him to get healthy, working on their triggering, and then ministering in their true gifts.\u00a0 Take a minute and daydream about that.\u00a0 Imagine the power of the church in this world if we were walking in our true identity, true giftings, and connected to the true Lord Jesus!<\/p>\nThe last thing that I have been noticing is that my memory is actually improving.\u00a0 Up until recently, I would try to think of something (some fact, name, etc\u2026) and I would feel blocked from accessing the answer.\u00a0 It was so frustrating!\u00a0 Lately, I am noticing that I am able to recall those details more readily.\u00a0 It\u2019s really amazing!\u00a0 I feel like I am being transformed by the renewing of my mind (Romans 12:2).\u00a0 My brain has been working so hard over my lifetime storing up and managing painful events.\u00a0 As Jesus heals those places, my brain is freer to do productive things.<\/p>\n
Another brain science piece of fruit is that when we allow Jesus to heal those painful places in our hearts, we become more creative and flexible, more relational (with God and with others), more able to attune to others, more able to receive attunement\u2026More ALIVE!<\/p>\n
Jesus really knows what He is doing.\u00a0 He knows us.\u00a0 He knows what is in the way of us being our best.\u00a0 He knows what is in the way of our relationship with Him.\u00a0 It is such a privilege to walk out this intimacy journey with Him.\u00a0 It is such a good practice to look back and reflect every once in a while.\u00a0 With Him!<\/p>\n
