Conversing with God

Standard

🔥My most absolute favorite place to enjoy a cup of coffee is by the warmth of a fire.

☕️As I sit here, slowly sip, and consider the Lord, I hear-

❤️‍🔥Daughter, seek Me, find me! Remain in Me, and I will remain in you! There’s nothing to fear! IAM with you. So be strong. Be courageous. Just keep your eyes on Me- and everything will turn to peace.

🙏🏻And in response- I give thanks.

❤️‍🔥Thank you Lord for loving me endlessly. Thank You that Your faithfulness is perfect. Thank You that You will never leave me- I can count on You. Thank You for being my truth, my freedom, and my peace. I choose to remain in You, today.

🙏🏻You see, prayer is a conversation, not a monologue. Prayer can begin with a question, “What would it please You to share with me today, Jesus?” Prayer involves more listening than talking.

❤️‍🔥If this is a new notion for you- how wonderful! Your entire life is about to be upgraded!

📖“Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

📖“On that day [when that time comes] you will know for yourselves that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭20‬ ‭AMP‬‬

📖“Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬ ‭AMP‬‬

📖“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble in dread before them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not fail you or abandon you.” It is the Lord who goes before you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or abandon you. Do not fear or be dismayed.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭6‬, ‭8‬ ‭AMP‬‬

📖“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation].”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Don’t Disqualify Yourself

Standard

👷🏼‍♀️I have found that so often the things that come easily to me, that feel natural, are generally the support for the call on my life, but are NOT what I’m actually called to.

🙏🏻The things I’ve been called into require me to lean upon the Lord. To stay close to His side, to look to Him for constant wisdom, constant leadership. Where I’m called, is where I need Him most.

👩‍👦‍👦For me, being a mother, is the hardest and most unnatural part of my life. Yet, I’m certain of the call because I was entrusted with these two precious individuals to love, lead, and launch.

❤️‍🔥This particular call on my life is THE a place I seek the Lord most. He loves to co-parent with us. He has the insider scoop into their spirit, heart, and purpose. It is wonderful to seek the Perfect Parent’s wisdom on how to learn and grow as I endeavor to serve them with the best of me.

🤔So, I’m wondering- what unnatural, difficult area of your life keeps you most dependent upon the Lord? Ask Him if this has a bigger purpose than to cause you to feel like a failure all of the time! Don’t be so quick to disqualify yourself.

💥By the way, failing and learning, look a lot alike. The only difference is what we do with the moment. Do we grow? Then we’re learning. Do we quit? Then we’re failing!

💪🏻Get back up! This is actually the place you’re called! And remember with God- all things are possible- and will be worked together for good!

❤️We need you! You are loved!
