Father, I don’t know what to say. I’m feeling like I being tossed around in the high waves today. Help me not to dwell in this moment. Help me look into your face. And help me fix my eyes into yours. Help me remember where I’m walking towards because my hope needs to be revived.
Come my daughter, you are Mine.
Jesus, you are saving me from so much. The depth of the crevices are filled by the depth of your love. Please give me a sense of what it’s like to be walking inside the apple of your eye, my Father. Here is where I want to be and need to be right now.
Caroline my daughter, you are right where you belong-right here in my heart. Come, this is where you dwell; this is where I’ve brought you and this is where you’ve made your home. You are home with me -I love you dearly.
Thank you Jesus for being my Shepherd. Thank you that I can rest on your back as you’re looking out to the landscape for trouble. Thank you that you are my powerful Defender. My hope is in you. Thank you for restoring my heart again -I love you Jesus.
I love you too my darling.
Reflection:
Last night I dreamt that a really dark dog had come into my tent, and I took authority over it as I yelled at it to leave. But then Bella wasn’t with me and I was out looking for her. I went up into a place that reminds me of wasting time, and I saw small spirits floating and coming in and out of my vision, around this place. Then after I had left this place, I noticed I had forgotten my pants there, my favourite jeans, and I wanted to go back and get them. I knew I couldn’t go back but I tried anyway and got up onto one level, getting closer to where the door was on a higher level. Then I saw that people were shooting at me with bows and arrows. One person had thrown up a bow and arrow for me to use, but I threw it back down. Then my heart was in torment because I didn’t know where Bella was. Wow, my heart has been in anguish. Thinking about my dream and thinking about that I couldn’t find Bella is God telling me that I had succumbed to discouragement. I believe it was the Lord who had thrown up a weapon for me to use that would have helped me, but I had thrown his help away. I think the pants represent me putting off the old, and I wasn’t supposed to go and get the old again. It’s so difficult to fight discouragement! It’s like when I come near it, then I’m on a slippery slope that goes down into a ditch. I’m not there anymore though! Spending time with the Lord helps so much!
This morning I had 1 Corinthians 13 for breakfast.. I was so hungry and it filled me! I’m wondering, if I could put it into words, why love is more important than faith and hope. I think having faith in something higher than ourselves without love is meaningless, so if love is the underling foundation of our faith as christ followers, then it has the potential to grow forever and is the most important. About hope, I think the highest thing to put our hope in, is God, who is love, so this too, points to love. To say this in a few words, love is most important because God, the Ancient of Days, is Love, and he is above all. So because God is love and we follow love, then to love is also the most important thing we can do! My hope and faith are growing because my love for Jesus keeps growing as we walk together each day!
