Going to the Higher Places in God

One of the things that just came to mind recently is while in this constant state of going after the Lord, worshiping Him in spirit and in truth, I have realized that it is becoming harder and harder to go back to any old ways, or to be complacent or allow apathy to enter into my life. He is continually present in my life but staying in His presence is a whole other story. I love being with Him. I love singing to Him. I love having Him with me throughout the day. I am daily changing in little ways that only I and the Lord notice but it is good and yes hard. Humble pie seems to be on my daily menu, pride slowly losing its strength in my life. Short accounts are always a good thing but more and more they are necessary in order to stay in His presence. I think the hard part is more from my flesh than the actual laying down of my rights to what the Lord is asking me to lay down. His yoke is easy and His burden light. Life seems to get easier and easier but yet it is hard to accept that I have so much junk in my life. I am so glad that His love is sufficient, never ending, always new and giving.
