Confidence

“Be shepherds of God’s flock that are under your care, serving as overseers -not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be.” 

Conversation

Daddy, I love you. I raise up my hands and I worship you. I give you all the glory. You are King over my heart. 

I love you my daughter, my bride. Come, today is a day of rest.

My heart is yours Daddy; help me do this week what I said I’d do.

I will help you my dear one. Come, we’re ready to go. You can do this my dear one. Be confident -have faith. 

Okay Lord, I promise that I won’t let go.

Abide in me and I will abide in you. 

Reflection

Hey everyone, happy Sunday!! Last night I woke up at 2:20 and had these words on my mind, “Think about what Jesus has done for you.” Then at 6:14 I had a strong sense about these words, “Believe in yourself.” Besides dying on the cross and raising again and for being in my heart, Jesus has done so much for me; He’s been my Saviour so many times and in so many ways. I’ve been like the walking dead, and the only reason I know about this (because a person doesn’t know what they don’t know) is because of the journey we’ve been on together where he’s shown me in many dreams and words of knowledge the true condition of my heart. I had buried myself so deep that I wasn’t really living. Jesus has rescued me and has loved me through so much. I’ve learned so much about myself at the same time as others did because of my posts, and I love that! Jesus believes in me so much more than I do about myself, and I need to step out of not believing in myself. God has done so much for me, and I cannot deny him after how he’s worked in my life. But this requires total abandonment on my part so that I can fully walk where he’s leading. I do trust him with all my heart, but I’ve learned that it’s not a one time trust that he wants -every day and every time he wants me to do something that I’m new at doing, I need to decide if I’m going to trust him. I’ve learned on my journey with Jesus that I can always trust him because he preserves my heart all the time.. Every time I say yes to him, I’m committing myself to him like saying yes on our wedding day. Yes Jesus, going through back pain because of how much I sit at my desk writing and preparing for my message is so worth it because it means I’m being vulnerable as I spend time with him, growing my relationship, growing and learning to do what he wants me to do. Having said all that, I heard from someone, something about small g’s representing “gods,” like having other gods before God the Father. I’m thinking that when I’m not fully trusting God (which is evidence that I resist him when he’s asked me to do something and I hesitate too long), which means that God isn’t King over my heart in that particular area. I don’t know what ‘god’ would be there in place of Him (maybe pride), but I’m really sorry.. life is a journey of learning and growing.. I’m planning to record my message asap this week… I ran a 4k last Thursday (approx 28 min) -back squats tomorrow! Many many many blessings to you!!!☺️😉
