This week I’d like to share an extremely short conversation I had with my HH that proves just how blessed we are as His brides and just how vital it is we introduce every woman we know to this Loving and Patient Prince of ours.
I’d just finished reading some of the news on a Sunday morning that left me bewildered, confused and in many ways, overwhelmed by all that’s happening in our world today. My question to Him was simple and so was His answer—but oh how profoundly sweeping, broad and far-reaching His answer was if we simply stop to absorb this wisdom.
Question: “Darling, with all that’s happening in the world, surrounding me on every side, how can I possibly smile at the future?”
His Answer: “Simple go back and remember one of the ‘worst’ times that happened to you personally” and instantly my mind took me back to when I was abandoned with my four small children, living in a rundown townhouse with almost no furniture (the 2 youngest were actually sleeping on a mattress we found by the dumpster). “Do you remember how this ‘worst’ time is what these grown children remember as the fondest of their childhood? It’s also when your ministry was birthed and it’s when I was no longer your Lord but your Husband.”
Then, once again, He poured into my mind one of my most go-to promises:
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for GOOD to…
those who love God,
to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28
I’m not the only one who could do the same thing. Each of you could easily remember one of the “worst” times that happened to you personally and then ask Him to also remind you how He miraculously, amazingly caused “all things to work together for GOOD...
because you loved God,
because you were called and TRUSTED His purpose.
There is so much more I could say, but if I did you may just miss the important message that I hope you agree is profoundly sweeping, totally broad and far-reaching... IF YOU simply stop now to absorb this wisdom. Then during this reverie ask Him questions that come to your mind. When you’re done, be sure to record and inscribe these revealed truths in your journal so the truth never gets away from you.
Unleashing the TRUTH
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” I5589.
Reflecting on this living lesson and reviewing my journal, I totally agree with Erin!! My shattered seasons have become “my miracle season”. Every struggle and deep pain has open my eyes to how deep I am loved by the Lord and how He is holding my hand in every single step of the way!
My sweet friends, I am enjoying the view of this season of my life, that a year ago seemed like the worst time ever!! I lost my job, we were living in a small town, we couldn´t help the grandparents anymore, my daughter got a three degree burn on her leg, our car broke, we sold the car, we were without a car fro 4 months, my stepdad, my pilar of faith died of stage 4 lung cancer. I couldn´t go to the funeral because I live 9 hours away! And the list could go one!
But then I now see that we as a family learnt to live one day at the time, we pray more together and as individuals. We decorated our house with Bible Promises everywhere, we found family here that covers us with love, I found a new job from home, we learnt how to grow veggies and make our own cocoa for chocolate!! We now have a 4FWD car, even better that the one we had before!! We are an open letter to our family here for the amount of provision and care that our Beloved has showered to us!
I understood that living in this season meant that my story isn’t over. It is beginning all over again!
A book is never written in one version. It must be edited, re-edited, and edited again; rewrite after rewrite until it is finished, until it is as good as it can be. My Author and the Finisher of my faith is continuing writing my story. I am letting the Creator to keep creating. My Potter keeps molding!
It may look broken to me, but My Beloved sees endless possibilities; clay ready to be shaped and molded, a blank canvas for his masterpiece, and an empty page fo him to compose my story. You am whole again!
My sweet friends, continue to trust in the Only One who truly love you and hols your hand close to His heart!
This lesson share so much light to this:
