After a month sabbatical there is an important truth that I have learned….

Allowing yourself to be LOVED

By HE who is LOVE….

Draws others to HIM.

“Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another.  No one has ever seen God.  Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us. ” 1 John 4:11-12

Confidence…

The Word of God is NOT chained….(2 Tim 9:9)

Not in you…not even in the darkest recesses of your heart…

Not in your neighbor…not even in the toughest hardness of their hearts…

Not in that hopeless situation…not in that unanswered prayer…not in that battle of good vs. evil…

The Word of God is NOT chained.

What confidence should flood our hearts in the knowing and the living…

The Word is always victorious!

“Indeed the Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” Heb 4:12

With Jesus in me, I walk to the blind, trusting that He has seen what I’ll find.

He speaks to the heart.  I speak to the mind. Together we walk as I learn to be kind.

Not my place to judge but my place to care, to show the unwanted that Jesus is there.

Lord help me to listen more than to talk, to whisper your love and continue the walk.

(written by a friend Bridget Hannahan)

“But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another” 1 John 1:7

 Himself in a manger.

“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” 2 Co 9:15

Wrapped….

The after effect of resting in the the Mystery of the Molding?…

Coming into the vastness of the Love of God.

The finite…enters the infinite….

boundaries melt away.

Heart expands beyond the fleshly vessel.

Even the prayers of praise and thanksgiving are but tiny whispers

within the largeness of this extravagant Love.

For words cannot contain, express, or verbalize…

this Unconditional Love.

Like a soft wrap enveloping inside and out…

Enfolded in God’s Glory!

“That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Thes 1:14

Mystery of His Molding….

Some days are quiet days…

Where words are embraced within the heart never reaching the outside.

Words become ideas, ideas become dreams, dreams become hopes.

A resting in the quiet within.

Gently floating up on the Mystery of His molding.

One doesn’t always have to have words,,,

And feelings don’t always have to have reasons.

Words from the heart can never be forced…

should never be forced.

The KING WITHIN touches the silence of the heart…

and CREATES.

The Potter is at work.

Surrender to the Mystery of His Molding!

“Yet O Lord, you are our Father;  we are the clay and you the potter: we are all the work of your hands.”

Is 64: 7
