Memory Verse: Holy Spirit, lighten my load this day.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

This morning, as I sip my Cup Of Fancy(Lavender/Lemon Hot Tea), I am beckoning the colors in the morning sky to bring peace to my mind. Lavender, orchid, and sky blue, bring serenity to my spirit, as Spa Music gently rolls in the background. I’m out on my big, country porch: a lavender candle spreads its essence of relaxation to my soul.

There has been so much going on lately in life, that one could be inundated with weariness. There are times that I feel as though there has been a ten pound weight of stress, placed upon my chest.

Instead, You have taught me a valuable lesson..”Come to Me and I will give you rest.”

It is an invaluable lesson. You taught me to create a space: a Prayer Closet..a War Room in which just the two of us can spend time together: a room, my porch, my Cup Of fancy, scones, spa/ocean music lolling in the background, candles.

This plethora of ambiance brings me into a total, PEACEFUL, RELATIONSHIP….with You. You are here with me.

*I am sitting on your lap as your arms enfold me.

*You whisper in my ear,”I am with you, my Beloved, and I will never let you go.  All will be well. Trust me, for I will win this battle for you.”

*”I will lighten your load, and use you for greatness, to touch the lives of others.”

*In times such as these, you just need to “BE STILL.. and know that He is God.”  

*Journal, as you listen to Him.  Sometimes, you might only have the energy to just “BE WITH HIM.”

Throughout my 73 years, these actions have been mainstays for my sanity. Sometimes I’d just go to my “War Room.” I’d put on worship music, light a candle, just sit there, and allow the tears to roll.  To just “BE WITH HIM,” can be one of the most amazing acts of worship one can do.

To know that He walks with you, and holds you throughout the day is a blessing.

Quite often in your journey, he will bring someone to you, to whom you need to minister. Begin a conversation with someone sitting next to you.  I did so at my PT appointment this morning. I always end the conversation with the following sentences:  “The Good Lord will take care of you.”  “Have a blessed day.”

As you witness to someone, even through a meager sentence, the blessing is coming back to you 100 fold.  Know that all that God has brought you through, is to serve and glorify Him.

Praise You, ABBA for choosing me for this journey. Thank You, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: You are One of a Kind. There is no one else like you. Do you realize that I delight in you, and rejoice over you with singing?  My greatest wish is to hold you in my arms, then look you in the eyes and say,”Well done my good and faithful servant.” Mankind cannot possibly understand the love that I bear for each individual.

Remember, the Blood of the Lamb is what washed you from all sin: past, present, and future. You are mine, through Christ, Jesus.
I love you,
Your,
ABBA, Father 

Psalm 23:  The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, will REST…in the shadow of The Almighty. I will say to the Lord,” He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”

Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me all you who are burdened , and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
