Beth (B) – So if everything is upside down and inside out, what is it you see Lord? What is truth? What is Kingdom reality? What excruciating circumstances are really the Garden of Eden, or the promised land (picturing the image of the Holy Spirit garden in the Shack)? What is it to you Lord? What do you see? What Lord?
God (G) – Beautiful
B – Hard to believe right now – it sounds too nice – not matching at all how I am “feeling”, so yes “feelings” lie – ok – I get that – line up my thoughts Lord – (to) your thoughts – I really do want/need to hear you.
Psalm 4:3 Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord will hear when I call to him.
So I get stuck on how this represents you well – what does this say about you?
G – The lack is the world/natural. The plenty is the Kingdom. I see plenty – sparkling diamonds, resources pouring out, I see you both – all – walking with me in the garden and it is good – I see the enemy attempting to sway you and you are not swayed – it is really big in Kingdom – Angels celebrate and many contending and praying – you are doing a big deed here on earth – just rest little one – it is ok – I have you covered – belief and trust – it really is bigger than you know, comprehend and it really is for a big purpose – it’s ok to keep trusting, believing – it is good – and I know the pain, the heartache, the disappointment – it is not the end – it is the beginning – it is ok, you’re ok – it will be ok – just keep trusting and believing, watching and listening – I’ve got this – it is good.
Psalm 21:4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him – length of days, for ever and ever.
Psalm 111: 3-4 Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
B – Ok Lord – I hear you – amazing grace – Thank you that when I call out you hear me, and you respond. Thank you that I am not defined by my circumstances, and neither are you – you are God over everything and you are good – that’s my choice. I believe. I trust. I love and I am loves me and is my Good Daddy.
In the mess and the sway of this day
I choose love
I choose you Lord
I choose truth
I choose to see you
I choose to hear you
I choose to bend and not be broken
I choose to stand firm on the foundation
I choose the Rock
I choose you Lord
I choose I AM
I choose Daddy
I choose Yes!
I choose to believe again and again and again and again that you are my good, good father and no matter what the swirl and mix of life’s circumstances LOOK like at my feet, I am choosing to remember that I am firmly planted on the Rock of Jesus Christ and I will not be shaken.
It is time Lord – It is your turn – I am watching for you, expectantly. I will not be caught off guard. I am expecting you to ROAR over this and I am seeing it all line up to you for your glory. That is my hope and my faith. You are good!
Proverbs 4:10-12 (TPT) “My sons, if you will take the time to stop and listen to me and embrace what I say, you will live a long and happy life full of understanding in every way. I have taken you by the hand in wisdom’s ways, pointing you to the path of integrity. Your progress will have no limits when you come along with me, and you will never stumble as you walk along the way.”
What a promise! Yes Lord, Thank you.
