Often Holy Spirit gives me a scripture when I am not in my bible. When I journal I have my bible nearby but often start my “quiet” time by writing and unloading whatever is on my mind. When I “get” a scripture it can happen different ways. Sometimes it starts with just a number and then I get the book. Sometimes both the book and chapter come together. And if I don’t get a verse right away, once I look at the chapter in my Bible I usually feel the Lord drawing me to a particular verse or section. I sense or see a number, or a thought pops in my mind, and I write it down. It’s by these Holy Spirit nudges that I feel I get to the place He has for me. This was that. And my dialogue began after this highlighted verse.
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Beth (B) – Lord, help me to focus on the things most important to your heart.
God (G) – Love
B – That is it?
G – Love. All I want is you with a heart full of love – for me, for those I have given you – for all – they are on my heart and all need my love – let me love through you – not by your capacity but by mine – let me be the water and you are the channel – no dams – just let it flow from me through you to all. It’s easy with me. My burden is light my yoke is easy – don’t complicate it – life is about loving – unrestricted – graceful, mercy, joy; it all is sourced from me. Your body is mine to use for my purposes.
