“For whoever finds me finds life and receives favour from the Lord.” Proverbs 8:35
Conversation
Thank You Lord. I see Your love in others, in the words they share and my heart is encouraged. Thank You Jesus for Your love.
My daughter, though My word may feel like a needle in a haystack, I will be found by you.
Papa, draw me near to Your heart so that I can find You.
Come.
Papa teach me about You. Show me who You are. (While praying in the Spirit) Papa, through it all I know Your tenderness towards me; I know Your tender love. I also know and have a sense of Your compassionate heart for me. (After more prayer and reading an encouraging message my perspective has changed) Papa, I am already seated with You in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). I am not distant from You. I knew that in my mind but I’m learning to step beyond what I feel. I don’t need to find You (from the perspective of not being near to Him) because I am already seated with You in the heavenly places and I’m already in union with You (so in this way I’ve found him as I realized this). Help me to always remember this. Papa I also know You don’t hold back from me like I don’t deserve anything… I am Yours and You are mine… I invite You Lord to come intimately close to me; I am desperate for Your presence!
I love you My daughter.
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 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.
12:13 “Who we talking about, that’s my King!”
4:36 A dream about a lion being caught.
6:58 In my time in prayer I saw a podium of three and in the middle, higher than the others there was a spring with a really big red egg at the top.
7:07 “Age and suffering” In a vision I had a sense that a father was talking to his daughter about that.
7:19 “No time to stop”
7:41 Vision of planting seeds in the garden
8:02 I had a vision of a woman on a bed pushing, giving birth.
8:09 “The whole truth and nothing but the truth” (I heard this in my heart right before waking up.)
9:04 “I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know. She shares my dreams I hope that oneday, I’ll share her home… I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets, to carry love, to carry children of our own…” (I was standing in the kitchen looking out of the window when these lyrics came to my mind. Jesus is always warming my heart to draw me close to Him…)
1:15 In a vision during prayer I saw a power cord that was plugged in, and my hand was running along it. It had stripes running along it; there was a light blue stripe on each side of the flat cord (When I looked at the time, it was 1:14 and turned 1:15).
2:04 Reassurance
2:08 I saw a picture of taking Parmesan cheese from an opened clear plastic container with a spoon. (My sister Connie had this on her table when I was there.)
2:12 I saw a shiny silver pin in a sewn hem; the pin was open and I think I saw a hand doing something with it.
2:18 I saw a white airplane flying over green grass.
Today I went from feeling distant from God to having my perspective changed. I now have the perspective that I’m seated with Christ in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Thank You Lord! We’re going to B and J’s place for dessert tonight at 7:00. Hoping you will have a wonderful day today… Be blessed!🩵
