Beth (B) – Feeling a little edgy this a.m.
God (G) – Lay low. Ok to set it aside. Let us be together today. Eyes on me.
B – Ok Lord. How?
G – Be still. Let me show you today.
B – Ok. Where do you want me?
G – Let’s sit still.
B – OK
I see a place where greens are green, and flowers are flowers. Where the sun is warm, and the breeze is cool. I feel your presence and I hear your voice. We glide together through each moment and my eyes are set on you. I choose to stay, not go. I choose to listen, not speak. I choose to go slow, not rushed. I choose to lead with love, not opinion. I choose to stay low and look up at you, not down on others. I choose you Lord. I want to be in slow with you. Help me stay in this place. Help me be free of all to be full with you. I want you more. I want the beginning, the middle and the end to be with you. I want you Lord.
G – Be still.
B – Ok.
G – There is a place that I have for you that is different than you have imagined. It is good. It is sure. It is steady. You will see and hear me more clearly than before. Before is done. Now is on purpose and you are ready to fully come, to fully be with me. You are ready to see what I see and to do what I ask and it is good. Your peace in this place is secure in your faith and belief in me. You know me as Daddy and you believe me. You see me as good in all, even when it doesn’t look good. You are fully mine, not by anything you do, not by any “do” thing, but by your faith in me. Your choice to say yes and be still, that is the enough, the more than enough. So, rest and be still and watch and listen. It is enough. Today will look good. Today is special. Relax and breathe it in. It is enough. I am enough. Give me your shaking heart, the places that shiver, and relax and take in my love. I am enough. I see you, love you and appreciate you fully. You are more than enough with me. Relax, breathe, and relish in my presence, my way, my mood and my breath. It is good.
B – Thank you Lord. I am overwhelmed by the creature comforts and I see and hear the gifts, the peace, the sun, the flowers, the crickets, the breeze. I am so thankful for this calm. For the oasis of your arms, for the places that long and you meet and fill. I know blessings are coming and I am thankful. Thank you, Lord. You are amazing. Now I also realize that there is a cleansing and rinsing and refreshing and you are bringing me out of a mud puddle and setting me in a new place, more vibrant, more relaxed, more trusting, more full of faith, more.
G – Stop thinking about you in the book and let me be me. I want you off the place of guarding – step aside and let me have my way. I want this done. I want it finished on earth as it is in heaven. No condemnation, no criticism – the timing is perfect – this is my plan but it is a now thing and yes you can with me –
Yes you can spend time with me on this.
Yes you can be transparent with me in this.
This is on purpose, on plan and you are now just like the movie (Captain Marvel) – (using) both arms – no longer one arm behind your back – it will leave you breathless – amazed, astounded – watch and see what I do. My way with my words – this must be done – it is bigger than you know and your heart’s desire of nothing wasted. Seriously, sincerely – it is BIG – watch, wait, listen – keep putting it on the computer. Do not worry about order. It will get organized – there are pods of hope that the words will fall into and I will make it clear. Holy Spirit is giddy about this book, so excited to be at work with you on this. Let Holy Spirit have his way – it is going to be really fun, easy, light and refreshing.
The insight and truth will flow into and out of you in a way you have never experienced before. As good as you remember – it will be even better. Do not worry about production, about distribution. You just watch and see what I have in store – it will make you laugh and cry – joy upon joy – only God can do – it will be the words on your lips constantly. He did this – it will be fun and funny, so much life and love and peace and joy – indescribable – unbelievable – it will reverse years of lies in people’s hearts and minds. The wash of truth will be great and glorious and very, very good.
So, relax, let me do this – I don’t want you to be heavy lifting, faint of heart, burdened or troubled. I want you to be free to be a vessel and let me do my thing. I AM is on the move in ways no one has seen and I have saved the very best for this time – let’s play, let’s have fun, let’s laugh and love and have joy and let’s enjoy this incredibly special time together. This is the first and it will forever be special because it is first. Relax and enjoy and delight in me – I want my way.
FUN – I want your space to be fun. I want fun. This is not work. This is fun. Watch and see. Let me be me through you. And laugh. And cry. And enjoy. And be still. And slow down. Be on purpose with me. Trust me – my timing – my way – my exactness. This is not up to you – this is me.
