Inflate your World

Do you think we deflate as we get older? I’m sure my cheeks are starting to slip off my jaw, my neck should be slapped with and ASBO and my hands… flip me! who stole my hands and replaced them with old lady hands? Huh? Should I call the cops, I’m sure firm, springy, skin theft is a crime, no? I was pondering the current position of the ever deflating vessel Ruth the other day when God gave me a picture of a deflated balloon. I’m there thinking yeah you know me so well Lord … that sums it up. But then you know when you over think a thing and it’s really not helpful? So now I’m drowning in a bog of self-evaluation; I’m thinking of how forgetful I am and how difficult it is to hold the thread of a conversation at times. How many times did I walk into the kitchen only to forget why I was in there in the first place…? Could this mean my brain shrivelling to walnut sized proportions argh…! Lord I NEED a saviour!!!

I need someone who will remind me, help me, encourage me in the deflation of life John 14:26 - ‘the helper the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, will teach you everything and REMIND of all I have said to you’. We all need to be filled like a balloon we’re not fit for purpose when deflated. I lOVE what it says in Job…33:3&4 ‘The Spirit of God has fashioned me and the breath of the Almighty gives me life’. When we allow the Holy Spirit to breathe into our lives we are lightened, hold power (trying blowing up a balloon and let it go to see what I mean) and our presence, our mass is expanded. Our dreams and vision grow, our doubt is enveloped in the rubber of God’s purpose releasing us to be the symbol of celebration we were always meant to be.

If you want to inflate the sagginess of life go to your Father allow him to inflate your world.
