The HELMET of TRUTH

OK...so this is not the continuation from last night like I was GOING to do,but I was sitting in my bed feeding my daughter her bottle, truly excited about going to church and I was just thinking about all of the change that has already begun to happen. I was reflecting on my own words from last night, and realized that each day I am to put on my Armor and then that lead to the HELMET OF TRUTH and it dawned on me, the helmet of truth does not ONLY mean that you are to speak the truth...the WORD OF GOD, but it means that you must ACCEPT the truth...as I DID last night. The truth that was revealed to me was amazing. I ACCEPTED that all of my reasoning for rebelling against God were MERE EXCUSES...ACCEPTED and DEALT WITH. Then there was the topic of simply confessing my sins in the walk of life I was living. If I publicly or privately confess to God my sins, then I have ACCEPTED them as TRUTH and again DEALT WITH them. Then the next would be that as I was still in the rut of thinking I was lacking faith as I had before I realized that even that was NOT the TRUTH, but the fact that my hesitating to give certain things to God and to not want to  CONFESS those things only proves that I know that HE WILL do what I ask as long as it  is in HIS WILL and those things that I want to hang onto I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT are NOT in His will...so in the end my holding onto things only confirms in me that I have Faith in Him to take them away...now the fact that I know He is Faithful...ACCEPTED and DEALT WITH...now I must simply ACCEPT and DEAL WITH those things that I am holding onto! So altho I ACCEPTED and DEALT WITH some truths, my helmet is only just over my head and down to my eyes...I need to finish putting it on, I need to ACCEPT THE TRUTH and give over my "old security blankets" ACCEPT that He will take them and I WILL BE MORE THAN OK!
  Precious Father,
    I thank you for another day to recognize, accept and deal with my imperfections of the day. I thank you that altho it may not be easy or always welcomed, you reveal new areas of my heart that need just a tad more Chiseling. I thank you that you are faithful to your children, even to the point of "correcting us". I thank you that each day your mercy flows freely upon me and that I am alive to accept it, even after straying from your guided path, down the dark and dangerous path, TODAY I am alive, alive in body, alive in Spirit and ALIVE IN YOU!!!!
