A Word For Now - To Act On
The Lord
said: I love simplicity. Places and realms you have seen that are
complex 'became' that way. I made them simple. They usually fell
because they desired more than I would give them. They stopped
understanding who I am and what I created them for and started
dancing with a song of desires and dissatisfaction.
I
made you and I love you but I made you 'for' Me. I am the most
powerful and exalted one but I enjoy simple things. That's why I
want you to come to Me as a small child. Sometimes you are pushed to
distraction and forget how to be a child. To be a child and to be
simple, are prayers I will always answer, submit to the
process.
You resist My arms but seek My face because
you are full of dissatisfaction and delusions of, how I let you
down. Don't ignore it, deal with it. Watch for the times when your
eyes turn to yourself, I want, I need, and what about what I feel?
It always distorts My image to you. Turn from the stone of
disappointments and your own desires, that make it seem the well is
dry, and see the water is above you behind your back, turn and find
it.
I am asking you to resist 'human' nature and to
seek God's nature. God will work it in you. Your perception guides
you; let Me change your perception. Remember times I touched you,
and moved you with My presence. I haven't changed. I never change.
If anyone moved or changed, I assure you that it was you. Ask Me to
reposition you, submit to the process, and then learn how to
maintain it, so you don't lose it again.
Don't accuse Me with
your pain, for your pain speaks to Me. There's not a pain you've
felt that didn't pierce Me too. Don't let your pain turn you, let
your faith turn you until My love is in view again. Three things I
want to tell you, never lose them or forget them.
1. I love
you. That is not contingent on your lion's den. I may not make your
lions go away but I will keep them from devouring you, if you let
Me.
2. My love is not dependant on your goodness or
your abilities. It is who I AM, regardless of who you are or what
you've done, enjoy it. It blesses Me when you do. I know who you are
now is not the fullness of who I created you to be, but walking in
My love will bring you to fullness, not guilt.
3. I
know who you are and I know what you face. I know what's not fair.
Why does that confuse you? You live in a war and the earth is
occupied territory. I AM your safe haven and place of rest and
restoration. Find Me and come often. Stop running on empty when I
have the gas station.
Lastly, why don't I...., why didn't
I.... There is an altar in front of My Chamber. Don't enter without
a sacrifice. Place your why's, pains, and griefs there. You don't
need to accumulate them, they become a hardness like a wall around
you, then you see and hear little or nothing. Sacrifice one brick at
a time and soon you will see for yourself. I love you and I know
you, know Me.
Amen.
May it touch you
as it did me when He spoke it. I am going to add these things to my
daily prayer time and try to keep this word before me, I suggest you
do that as well. I love you. |
