Hi Henry, I look forward to reading your posts to hear more from Father's heart!  Thank you for this reminder.  I read the 'Welcome the elastic warrior' post last night & went to Milly Bennet's podcast on consecration after.  All the while she's talking about Her surrender to Jesus & the protective way He's kept her & the love that she keeps seeing revealed in His Eyes & in her time spent with Him.  My desire for the same was there, but so was the sense of failure you spoke about...not feeling able to be constant in loving HIm, in surrendering to Him & giving Him myself without taking it all back the next moment.  Milly talked about moving forward & making another decision to be fully His & it was really hard to get past the fear I'd blow it, I'd let Him down.  Thankfully His Presence was also strongly there last night, & in the midst of my self-doubt He helped me to look up, to place my trust in Him, removing it from myself & my own shaky ground & instead plant it on Him.  Your word is so right, He is the only one who can complete that work & the completion sounds so wonderful.  And He's faithful to come to us when we falter, when the doubts surround us & we're afraid to walk on in case we fail. 

For those of you out there who are in this fearful, doubting place, where you want to go on with Him, but you're unsure you can do it perfectly as you want & so you don't know if you can even try...as Henry reminds us, just look up!  Loose those fears in His eyes, let His Love wash those doubts away, & let Him take your hand & firmly & surely lead you into that place of oneness with Him!  Don't let any whisper of insecurity or inferiority ever stand in your way of finding yourself new & complete in His Love...because when you look in His Eyes, you'll find you're already there!
