Fearless Living for Women- Week 2

Looking for a new lover?

No, this is not a personals ad!  This week I had an interesting coversation with God.  It came after I had a strange dream that bothered me for a couple days.  In my dream I was on the phone with my wife.  Nothing extraordinary about that, we like to talk to each other frequently.  The odd thing was that I was asking her permission to go out with another woman.  Now, don’t get excited, it wasn’t anybody you’d know.  It wasn’t anybody I know.  My wife gave an obvious response that any good wife in her right mind would give: “Uh, No!”  I heard the tone in her voice and retreated quickly.  “No problem, Babe.  I was just checking.”  I said in the dream.  “I won’t pursue anything else unless you give me permission.  You are enough for me.”

You can see why a dream like this troubled me.  I have no interest in someone else, I am a very happy husband.  It was only after I discovered that I had become consumed again with comparing myself and my success to other pastors that I began to understand.  Slowly, quietly, and without notice jealousy had crept into my heart.  I was hearing of other churches, other pastors that are experiencing great blessing and favor.  But instead of rejoicing with them, I was saying in my heart “What about me?”  Oh, I’d smile and say “Wow, God is good!” But it felt more like “Crap, God is good to everybody else.”  I haven’t had a bout of envy like this in a long time, and I was sure that my ego was well-contained.  That’s when I had the dream, and I woke up feeling guilty.  I know I’m a little dense sometimes, and don’t always get it the first time, but I never connected the dream with my jealousy.  So there I was in prayer, griping about all the cool stuff He was doing for my friends, and hoping to “get my cut”, when I heard a voice inside me ask “Aren’t I enough for you?”

There it was!  I was pursuing blessing, success, the favor of man and I was asking God to give me all of this.  It was as rediculous as wanting to find another lover, and asking for my wife’s permission!  My dad used to ask “Are you asking God to bless what you’re doing, or are you doing what He’s blessing?” 

I was ashamed that this garbage was in my heart, so I took it to God.  What did I do?  I made a huge list of all the wonderful things that He has given me, and all the ways that He’s prospered me (believe me it’s too long to list here).  Then I prayed for my other pastor friends, that their church would be more blessed than mine.  Don’t believe me?  Watch this!  This is my confession before God, my church, and my family in Christ.

I want God to bless me, but more than that, I want Him to trust me.  I want to trust myself.  God loves me like I was His favorite kid.  How could I want more.  LORD, YOU ARE ENOUGH FOR ME!

Following is a list of the greatest men of God that I know personally and if I wasn’t busy every Sunday I’d be at their churches.
