Good morning, Papa God!
How good it feels to be here in Your Presence! Just letting You calm me and prepare me for the day ahead. Not that I know what is really ahead of me today! But whatever it is, I know You know what it is and will be there with me! I am learning (slowly!) how to take this life-thing one day at a time. It is certainly not easy for me since I am a “DNA-wired planner and doer”. But as each day comes, I try to live fully in that day, and leave all my tomorrows with You. I may have plans for today, even for this week or month or year, but Your purpose for my life will prevail. This I know! I am daily working out my own salvation, that is, I continue to cultivate my salvation through Christ, actively pursuing spiritual maturity. But it is not my ability or strength within me that allows me to do this, but Yours, Papa God. It is You who is effectively working in me, creating in me the longing to fulfill my purpose so as to please You. It is not by my power or ability or understanding that I am who I am in You, but by Your Spirit working in me and drawing me into Your Presence. For this is Your will for me – my sanctification, my spiritual maturity, my holiness in Christ Jesus. My Lord God, You are my rock (my stability), and my fortress (my protection), and my deliverer (my Savior). In You will I trust, even when I lack full understanding of Your purpose for my life. I continue onward.
My child,
From the first day (so many years ago) that you set your heart to understanding Me and to humble yourself before Me as Your God, I have heard your words – those thought and those spoken. I know the very depths of your heart towards Me and your desire to be obedient in all I ask of you. I have heard your pleas for more understanding of My will and purpose for your life at each junction of your life when it appeared to be obscured from your view. And still you obey Me each day, as you wait for Me to show you the way in which you should go. Never, in all the years that you have walked with me, have I ever failed to show you the way. You trust Me explicitly because, at each crossroads in life, you have learned that you can. You know and understand that I am forever yours and forever with you, even when life does not make sense to you. Your trust in Me, no matter what is or is not happening, pleases My heart. Rest in Me, My child; I will lead and guide you with each step, each day.
