Dad, I’m so thrilled to be walking with you. You have such a passionate heart for me that you gave your one and only Son to die for me. Because of this and how you pursue me every day causes me to know how much you value me. Thank you for giving me value. I believe my eyes are opened to knowing this…I know it deep down in my soul. Thank you Jesus for walking that very difficult road for me, and for helping me walk the difficult road you’ve been leading me on. I want to bring you glory through my life -I love you so very much!
I love you my dear one -you are Mine.
My Dad, you’ve brought balance to my life. Many years ago I came to a crossroad where I could choose the easier road or the harder road. I knew in my heart that the more difficult road was your first choice for me, so I chose that one, not knowing anything about where it would lead. You’ve led me deeper into the heart of God as I faced difficulties. You’ve counteracted these difficulties by giving me your thoughts about me, and as we’ve walked our relationship has grown. Thank you for your love.
My daughter, rest…every day you choose to pursue me, you’ve chosen my first choice for you; I always want what’s best for you. As we walk together is when I make these things known to you. I love you.
Reflection:
My sister gave me what is now my favourite mug… handcrafted from a store at the Forks, and also a box of Mordens’ Macaroons, which I shouldn’t have at my desk but I do:) She also gave me a book by Patricia King, The Power of the Decree, which I’m very much looking forward to reading!
I think part of the thrill about following the Lord is never knowing where exactly he’s leading, but he comes up with things for me to do that by myself I wouldn’t dare do. Everything he’s asked me to pursue has been bigger than I am as a person, but God has also been restoring my sense of value. I think that if God can lead me into these big things like opening up a website and posting my journal entries for all the world to see if they want, and leading me into recording, all in my brokenness…I’m thinking where is he going to lead me after I’ve had lots of restoration, being in the rightful place I’m supposed to be in him…knowing my value and worth, and knowing deep in my heart his love for me? All I can say is that God is so good.. he’s teaching me as I’m doing his will for me.
Two nights ago I dreamt that a few of us were getting ready for an important event in our life which was going to happen that day! Walking with the Lord for me is like riding a roller coaster, except that there’s no need to fear because I’m in the most secure place wherever he leads.. Something I forgot to share before is that God showed me that by following the person who holds the key, all our journeys together looking forward, the cost has all been covered! Living my life with God in the center has really made my life more interesting, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world -yes Jesus I’m following you!
