I am pleased with you My daughter.
Lord, I know I’m slowing You down on our journey together, and yet You are still pleased with me?
Yes My daughter, I am. Your heart is right before Me, and this makes Me pleased with you. Your walk is a bit slow at the moment, but you are still walking with Me in the right direction (smile).
Okay Lord. My heart is a bit heavy, and I see You’re holding out your hands to take the burden I’m carrying. I can give You the burden, but I don’t see how I can stop being anxious. Lord, I give You the anxiousness I feel, and I give You all the heaviness that comes with it.
Okay My daughter, now watch as I throw it away!
Lord, I see that You’ve thrown it away. I’m searching my heart for any evidence that its still there, but I feel none. How did You do that Lord?
Trust Me My daughter. It really is real when you give Me your burdens to throw away; it is not too good to be true for Me to help you.
I know Jesus, and I’m so thankful, thank-you!
It’s My pleasure and My honour to help you My child.
Lord, I know my faith and trust in You has grown because of what You did for me just now. I’m so grateful Lord. Would You please fill me with Your joy?
Yes My daughter.
Thank-you Jesus. You are my Shepherd and I am cared for by You.
My daughter, I always desire to help you in every way you need.
Lord, a lot of the time I do things in my own strength because I forget how practical You are in the way you are able to help me. I forget how much You really can help, so I choose the easiest route and do things on my own, not realizing it’s actually the harder way.
My daughter, the more time you spend with Me in prayer and in My Word, the more these realizations will open up to you. The Bible is full of stories of how I have helped My people. I am the same now as I was then.
Lord, I’ve always known about the verse which says to cast our burdens upon You because You care for us, but having experienced your help in such a dramatic way has really changed the way I think about this verse… and You!
I’m glad My daughter of the King. I love you.
I love You too:)
Thoughts:
When I had this conversation with the Lord, I was amazed how real He was to me at that moment. I could feel the heaviness in my heart in a tangible way, and in the same tangible way, I felt the freedom of it…it really was no longer there!
This is a lesson for me -to trust Him no matter what is going on in my life. God is real and He really does want to help us with the difficulties we face in our life, but not only that, He wants to have a growing relationship with us.
Even though He knows us inside-out because He created us, the relationship part is separate from that. He doesn’t have a relationship with us and vice-versa if we don’t give Him some of our time each day to grow one. Relationships only grow if we spend time with the one whom we want a relationship with, and it’s the same way with the Lord. I don’t want to face the Lord in the future and hear Him say, “I don’t know this person very well, who is she?” How does your faith relationship look like with the Lord? How well do you know each other?
