Pruning the Branches of my Heart

Proverbs 12:14

“From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands reward him.”

Conversation

My Daddy, I love you. Even though this road is difficult, I praise your name. Thank-you for how long this pocket of time is taking; my flesh hates it but deep inside my heart I know its good for me -You Daddy, know better. 

I love you Caroline. Come deeper in my daughter, for all is well with you -you are mine.

Daddy, my heart is open to you. What do you want to do with what you see?

Rest and don’t strive my faithful one.

So help me sense your presence more Lord.

You will when your heart is at rest my darling.

Help me Holy Spirit!

I am near to you my daughter.

Reflection

Hey, I don’t have a lot to share today.. I had Pure Peppermint tea this morning. I normally don’t drink a lot of tea but it’s nice to have something during my Bible time. I dreamt last night that I had a big body instead of my own, and I think it just showed that my heart has been a bit heavy. I think I know why it’s been difficult putting my message together. Last week I had driven to Lucas’ school to give him extra clothes because it had rained a lot on his way to school. I dropped off his stuff at the office and they had called him down right away. He ran to the truck before I left and said thank-you, he was so grateful to have them. I recognized something that I was feeling during this time and that was being afraid that Lucas didn’t want me always helping him, thinking that because I’m his mom he didn’t want to be seen with me at school or be bothered by me because I had dropped off stuff for him several times that week. When he came to the truck and genuinely was thankful, it nearly made me cry. Not all the time but these same feelings come when I think about certain other people just because for so long this is what was shown to me. So if I’m feeling this way about myself then how can I have something worthwhile to say? I feel like God’s taking me through a deep heart cleans; cleansing me from who I think I am to who he knows I am. Having said that, I think I’ve been freed from a lot already but I always need to keep my heart open so that he can keep on pruning me. Anyway, I woke up this morning at 6:14 with these lyrics in my mind, “Come alive in the name of Jesus, come alive in the name of Jesus, this is a house of miracles…” Alright, many blessings…
