Beth (B) – Where do I rest and where do I push? Where do I expect and where do I lay aside? Lord, give me your Holy Spirit wisdom today, just for today. Lord, help me to steward well in this – I am wanting to be – be still and be settled and be doing only what I see my Father doing.
My Father does love – he does forgiveness – he does peace – he does victory – he does joy – he does rest – he does strength – he does listening – he does truth – he does grace – he does mercy – he does restoration, redemption, redeeming – he does mighty works – he does fun – he does saving – he does healing – he does unity – he does providing, protecting, promising. He does great and powerful things, he does creating, he does revealing, he does…
Lord, I want to do what I see my Fat….
“Mom, can you help me with my paper?”
And later,
B – Wrestling with God allowed and the struggle to understand from worldly parent perspective and you don’t want robots and musing on choice – show me Lord.
God (G) – I had to know you chose me – it couldn’t be forced – our relationship had to be based on freedom and it wasn’t a trick, it wasn’t from a place of weakness or the lie of anything but my pure heart of love – I had to know that your proclamation – was a choice –
B – Oh Lord, help me know your truth and not the slimy lie of the enemy – his reality is false and broken, not stunning and true – Thank you Lord for your amazing grace. Thank you that you are big enough and your plan is full enough and complete enough to allow – allow choice and freedom – thank you Lord.
You’re never gonna let me down
You are good
Any tricky place – it’s a lie
Any thing, thought, word that doesn’t line up needs more Jesus – more truth – the truth is He knows, He loves, and He is GOOD in all things with all people and in all situations. We are limited – in understanding and He wants to be fully revealed and believed. Release what I think. Release what I understand…
G – and know me – my truth and my reality – it is the real deal and it will settle you in every circumstance in every place and in every season and it is done – it is my will.
