Our Loving Dad

My daughter come, we have much to talk about today. 

Okay Father, I’m here, sitting at your feet and loving every moment I have with you.

I love you my darling -you are Mine. My faithful one, what do you see in your heart? 

Father I’m remembering a dream you gave me last week, the one where I had been parked in a parking lot but was now in the passenger side of a huge about ten story high vehicle. The huge wheels were moving forward and I couldn’t even feel the heavy cement barricade that I had been parked in front of, being pushed over and crumpled beneath the wheels. We drove over it effortlessly, crossed the road and drove into the field on the other side. I was a bit anxious at first because we were so high but then I relaxed as I got used to it. 

My darling, this is now your reality. 

My Father, please help me in this transition period. Help me step into what you have for me.

My daughter, rest as we walk. You are never alone, nor will you need to do anything alone. I’m always near to you, and I’m near to you this day. You are Mine, declares the Lord. 

Father, as you were speaking, I’m remembering a sense of self that I used to have. I’ve really missed this. I really do love who I am, the person you made me to be. I pray that this person who I am, will grow as you mold me to look more like you as we walk. 

I love you Caroline. Rest as we walk.

Father, I just remembered the dream you gave me last night. I was in a hotel near a large body of water with Bella, pointing out to her an enormous flow of water pour into itself like how a tsunami would begin, and then I saw an enormous amount of water come past the shoreline and into the first floor of the hotel we were in. I was on the second floor and saw one side of the second floor (that reminds me of a balcony) begin to collapse because of the lack of support underneath, but then it stabilized. I felt the impact as I was standing in the main area, but the main area stayed secure. My Father, I trust in you in the hardship ahead. 

My sweet daughter, I am near to you always.

Father, I rest in you knowing you’re in control and knowing that you are our loving Dad. I continue to walk alongside you as I accept all your plans for me. I see in my heart that I’m still sitting at your wonderful feet Jesus. I see the love in your eyes. You took me on a journey this morning to show me that you’re faithful, and it’s reminded me that these plans you’ve shared with me are your plans for us Father, and didn’t originate from me. I love you Jesus -I’m faithfully yours. 

Reflection:

This morning as I was having my conversation with the Lord, I remembered the sense of self I used to have when I was younger. I’m so amazed how I’ve forgotten about this. But just like I heard in church this morning, I want to walk in the more matured part of who I am, who God sees that I am. I think I have such a limited perspective. I need to see the me who God sees so that I can walk in my calling better. Until next time!!
