I am feeling like I am neglecting our project Lord. Help me with your priorities. Feeling wooed to journals by an encouraging word from another to be reflecting and decreeing. The word compel and its synonyms: force, pressure, press, push, urge. Compel is a strong, forceful word and that is interesting because you are and you are not. You have a gentle way and yet the Holy Spirit has a way that brings revelation and truth. I did feel a force to get me to face the need for healing work. I did feel a desire to move from the comfort zone of brokenness and fear. I did feel urged to bring light to dark places and now you are asking me to walk with another. To guide, love, share testimony, encourage, (and) love, love, love. Thank you, Lord, for your way. Thank you that you are good. Thank you for your truth overflowing. Thank you. What does the journey look like?
God (G) – I am with you and I will not forsake you and it is good. Like bringing slaves to freedom. It is glorious. Trust, listen, love, guide, encourage, be sharp, be listening to me. Be still and know that I am God and yes you can and yes you will and yes this is a beginning. This is not the end and yes it will look different than what you experienced because your guide was perfectly situated in that place and time and your journey will look different and it is good.
Beth (B) – Thank you Lord.
G – Yes, remember (a vision from years earlier) the front of the bow of the ship and the waves crashing all around and you stood looking at me, washed by the treacherous waves and still you stood with your gaze on me. That is faith, that is belief, that is trusting in the goodness of me, that is devotion, that is staying focused on the one thing, that is my divine plan and from that place you do have volumes to share with others and to encourage others and it is good. Be a kid, love, laugh, learn, and be enveloped by me and my love and pass it on. The grace, mercy, love.
