Conversation
Papa, I love You. I feel like my heart has grown in its capacity to love. I praise Your Holy Name and I worship You with all that I am. You are mine.
My faithful one, I love you with an everlasting love. Come boldly before Me, before my Throne room. My Grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in your weakness.
Papa, I sense Your strength rising in my heart. I am devoted to You always. You have shown Yourself faithful to me over and over again. Thank-You from the deepest part of my heart. I love You.
Come My daughter, you are Mine and I am well pleased with you.
Reflection
Hello and welcome to my journal. Life in the valley can be very difficult, but we need to remember that God is always faithful. Right now I’m in a valley, being tested and pruned so that in God’s time I’ll be ready to walk out of this valley, Victorious! What I’ve been doing as I’m waiting is spending time with God and keeping on doing what He’s already asked me to do. I’m clinging onto hope because God is my firm foundation. God is faithful and I know that He will never let me down, and I’m going to stay faithful to Him. He has shown me His faithfulness all the time and I know His love through that. God gives me dreams and wakes me up at certain times. As you read my journal my hope is that even though I’m in a valley in my life, I hope you will be inspired to always keep your heart open to God no matter what’s going on in your life, because God is a God of Love and He always has a Good plan for our life. He knows how to lead us; we just need to trust Him and follow Him! Very often God draws my heart to Him through love songs and intimacy with Him in dreams, because as part of the bride of Christ, Jesus is my husband. My love for God/Jesus keeps on growing as I continue to pursue Him. During the night God wakes me up at certain times with either a word from Him and/or a dream. So here’s my journal entry for today..
January 22:3:44 “I know that miracles happen, who care what they say. My heart was locked, inside a box, you reached inside…”
I had a dream where I was in the country and I saw many small groups of people begin to value the countryside and begin to walk in it, into the fields. There was a scene where I was with a group of people that felt like my family. We were in town (where there were more people; I didn’t see any buildings). The town was made up of people, not buildings, and we were in nature, among the trees and plants. We made a discovery that helped people see a way to where we were; a long time ago where we were standing was blocked by a hidden gate, and I watched as some people in our group discovered it and opened it. It was made up of or covered by plants and they swung the gate open. The gate was big, about the width of a vehicle or tractor. This opened the way to where we were standing and people began to see it and were really excited about it and started to come. I watched as people began walking beside our place (walking in front of me), resulting in the place where we were standing becoming more public. I felt a bit exposed that we wouldn’t have the privacy like we had been having, with more people walking right beside where we were standing, where we had made our home.
4:39 Papa, what does the gate represent?
My heart (sensed)
4:41 sensing “hidden treasures” (while praying in my prayer language)
4:42 “All things work together for good, for those who love God” (from Romans 8:28)
4:43 “Rest, all is well with thee”
4:44 Papa, I love You. I worship Your Holy Name. “Come, now is the time to worship, now is the time to praise Your Name.”
4:50 Come. Rest. You are Mine.
7:14 “Your word is a lamp unto my feet”
7:44 “Thy word, is a lamp unto my feet”
I’m finding a lot of Mediterranean recipes that look so appetizing! I’m not sure yet if I’m going to have supper today or if I’ll wait until breakfast tomorrow. I’m thinking to break the fast (breakfast) tomorrow. It’s been very difficult this time. I had kale yesterday and broth at the table for supper yesterday and today I had kale in the afternoon and green beans at the table. I’m hoping green beans count for “greens.” I finished my painting this evening; slowly improving I think:) I’m planning on going to the women’s praise event tomorrow at church… 🫰🏼
