So good! So huge! He’s gracious not to leave us or give up on us, isn’t He?! Thanks for testifying. Here’s to running the race…and sometimes tripping and letting Him pick us back up. He’s so faithful.

I will just answer your comment, question by question (as best I can). First, yes, I ask God to reveal the sin in my heart. But to be honest, our human hearts are so full of sin, graciously He doesn’t reveal it all at the same time. Like a Father, He reveals and sanctifies us one step at a time. Second, I do repent if it is sin that I haven’t repented of. But if it’s sin that I know I’ve already repented, I just remind my heart of who I am because of Jesus. Third, meeting Jesus in the “secret place.” This just means that I spend time lingering with Him in worship — when I can break away/hide from my sweet kiddos. When I spend time worshipping — usually to music — it naturally turns into a time of prayer and praise. And as I worship, His Spirit is “stirred,” so to speak. At that point I may spend some time reading the Word or just praying for His view on a situation. And inevitably, if I’ve lingered and really allowed my heart to worship, I will “hear” from Him. I know it may sound a little vague, but mostly God is just wanting to meet with us away from the distractions, where He has our full attention so we can hear what He wants to speak to us. For me, that usually happens after and during times of personal worship. Hope that all makes sense. You’re asking such great questions. God reveals Himself to those who want to know Him, so keep pressing in.
