Dashing to pieces

I dash to pieces the false ideas of what I thought was to be.
I dash to pieces mans words and what he thinks I should be.
I dash to pieces the lies that were told to me, to creat feelings of inferiority. How awesome it is to hear God's voice and His hand which guides me besides the still waters. The church is in for a reformation. A reformation that is created to be more of a place where people can relate to and actually feel the love of Christ. Because the love of Christ changes. Jesus never condemned one person that came to Him. He had teachings which were hard to follow or swallow rather but in all honesty, He lovingly corrected people and called many to follow Him. In actuality the disciples were the ones He called to follow Him, the ones who were weary and heavy laden He called to come to Him, but most people came to Him because they wanted to see Him, to be healed by Him, to receive and listen to Him, They were attracted to Him, they followed Him for days, taking long walks to just be with Him and catch a glimpse of Him, they climbed on trees to see Him. And most He didn't call, they just were drawn to Him, His love. If you read the gospels you won't see many accounts of Him calling people to follow after Him, after the discples, with the account of Him saying that we must count the cost before leaving all and following after Him for those who looked back were not fit for the plow. So there were some times and the instance with the rich young ruler who was told to sell everything He had and follow Him. What a privilege to be called to follow after Jesus. I cry thinking of how precious the privilege is and why anyone would want to settle for anything less. His voice is sweet and filled with love. His voice is love. Love sings and has a color that draws us towards Him. He is the good Shepherd. You can be sure to trust where He takes you. I am His precious lovely fluffy sheep.
