Love Bangs the Door
Life with Me is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties. My guidance is often by shut doors. Love bangs as well as opens.
Joy is the result of faithful trusting acceptance of My Will, when It seems not joyous.
St. Paul, my servant, learnt this lesson of the banged doors when he said "our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." Expect rebuffs until this is learned - it is the only way.
Joy is the daughter of calm.
They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion,
which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Psalm 125:1
which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Psalm 125:1
You TOTALLY GET IT, Lisa. It's not about going round and round with our intellects... it's about hearing the HEART of God and letting HIM steer our course in everything. What we think doesn't matter; it's TRULY ALL ABOUT HIM. Just want to encourage you, my dear, that I hear His voice in you... your counsel is righteous and wise in Him. We're all at different levels of trust in God, so not everyone will recognize His favor on you. I do... Take heart, dear one.
