John 1:22 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?”

John 1:23 He said, “I am A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, ‘MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”

Welcome To The Light-Washed Path,

Satan wages an effective battle against the Church simply by inspiring a sense of insignificance in those who believe the Gospel. We MUST help you discover your value to God. As simply as I can state this, the point must be nailed down:

God most definitely has a profound interest in you knowing how valuable you are to Him.

And the way to capture the revelation of your value is to let God tell you how much he loves YOU. Go directly to Him in a prayer-quest. Ask Him to open your heart and your comprehension. Ask Him to tell you Himself, who you are to Him. Set your heart to seek God. Put yourself on a fast and push everything else to the background. And go forth to cast your life upon His altar. Push past all the voices of life – go out into the wilderness and seek Him as your refuge. He will meet you there.

Psa. 27:7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Psa. 27:8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

If this sounds simplistic just remember that His voice brought life to all things. When His “still small voice” breaks forth into your conscious mind it blows away the darkness and lies that bind your soul. When he speaks it’s nothing like the words of men. When He speaks to you the benefits of His healing grace are imparted. He instills value in your conscience with His Word. Consider the words of a man who let God love him, and drew his destiny from that love:

Psa. 43:3 O send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Thy holy hill, And to Thy dwelling places.

Psa. 43:4 Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And upon the lyre I shall praise Thee, O God, my God.

Psa. 43:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him,The help of my countenance, and my God.

David’’s soul was in despair. He couldn’’t catch a break. Despite his best intentions and efforts everything went against him. He felt worthless, rejected and that he had no “Voice” of any significance. But David also knew that his soul was in trouble.  He knew he was depressed with a deflated sense of worth and value.Perhaps you see no value in your life. King David was there, where you now are. And he knew that a fresh perspective, a few days off, or a “rest” weren’t going to heal this brokenness. He knew where he had to go to heal his soul. He knew he needed to recapture his sense of Value and NO ONE BUT GOD could give that to him.

Psa. 43:3 O send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Thy holy hill, And to Thy dwelling places.

That’s where YOU must go: to God’’s “holy hill, and to Thy dwelling places.” Determine to go on a prayer-quest, to bring your malnourished soul to The Healer – the One Who loves you. For He has already sent out His “Light and Truth” to find you and bring you to His holy hill, His dwelling place.

We have made a costly error in measuring our value through life’’s experiences.  Our relationships, families, marriages, skills, successes, failures, popularity, respect of others, are not meant to be places we go to get a sense of value. Our personal value can only come from embracing what our Creator/Redeemer has said personally to us. He alone is “The help of my countenance, and my God”.

Before you can find your “Voice” you must find your Value.

Stay On The Path!
