This week I’d like to share about waiting on your Beloved so He can treat you as He wants to treat you as His bride.
Maybe a better title would be "a day in the life of one of his Brides." This happened yesterday as I was reflecting on my day as I usually do before I go to sleep. It's the same thing I do the moment I wake up, and again with my coffee—I just thank Him for each and everything He's done for me. It's very, very uplifting and I go to bed with a smile on my face and start my day the same way.
So yesterday I thought of how tired I was and began thanking Him for feeling so terribly tired and mentally foggy. As the day progressed, I found myself just kind of methodically going through my day but being weak, in a fog— I ended up just having the most incredible day—moving from one thing to another with so little effort. Being weak gave my HH full and complete control over every move or decision I made. Afterward, I was in such awe... thinking more than once, “Did that really happen?!”
Let me give you two examples: The first thing that I had to do that was on my 2Do list was to go to the post office with a renewal notice for a temporary post office box that I use for the ministry. I had no idea what to do. Each time I asked, He'd said, "Just wait." (If you remember from Week 35 “Added Fear” •)) Week 36 “Fall Short” •)) I've been living in a vacation home, so I'm constantly moving, continuously following His lead.)
So, when it was my turn, I felt prompted to just share the story of being here temporarily, and she just came up with the most unreal unimaginable solution! I could simply renew it and set up a temporary forward for 3 months. That very day, after He'd said to wait, I'd signed an online 3-month lease a bit north where it isn't as crowded and it's very inexpensive during the high season. Then showed me that I’d be coming back to where I was living for another 9 months!
*Little did I know at the time that this solution would unravel, when He'd ask me to “Just Wait, Again” that you can look forward to reading May 31 and how He used it for so much good!
"So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are His lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose." Romans 8:28 TPT
Next week I am excited to share the second inspiring example. For now, ask Him to remind you of times He asked you to wait and list all the good that came during your wait—what you would have missed had He not asked you to "Just Wait."
Unleashing the TRUTH
I wanted to come back here and add something. I read this lesson yesterday and it’s funny because I slept so poorly, the night before. I want to add that ever since I learned that my Savior is also my Love, I have slept so hard, so me not sleeping well is odd. anyways, I read this lesson and then I decided to take a nap in the morning, sit on the couch all day and not do anything! I was so lazy!! but I’m praising My Love for it now because I could have done what I KNOW works. get up, move, dance, worship, be silly with the kids, praying, call a friend, anything but I didn’t and I am genuinely thankful for that now.
he is so gentle is showing us things that I don’t want to lay around and feel yucky all day I want to step in faith and wait for him to show up!
