God is always speaking.
Do you hear Him?
Our Heavenly Father faithfully guides, encourages, and corrects me in my daily life. He speaks to me so tenderly through inward conversations that are journaled as letters. (Read the story behind how these letters started.)
These letters are not intended for me alone but are to be shared with my sisters in the body of Christ.
Romans 8 promises us that God speaks to each one of His children through the Holy Spirit bearing witness with our spirit. As you go through these letters, I pray that you will learn to recognize how God is speaking to you about your life throughout your day.
Snow Globe
You are maturing beautifully and I’m so incredibly proud of you! When you were immature and unaware of your position in our Kingdom and the enemy would shake you, you ran out to the world anxiously grasping at people to hear about your troubles and comfort your wildly beating heart. You relied on their words to comfort and sustain you and you found those words always fell short.
Stiff Worship
You came all this way to be in the presence of a more demonstrative form of worship in the company of those who you assume carry My Spirit with more power. You think just because they shout louder, sing with passion, or cry harder than you that they know something you don’t know?
Radical Obedience
You’d better WAKE UP ‘cause you and I are entering into a new season of RADICAL obedience. That means you keep your soul out of our business. If you get your mind, will, OR emotions wrapped up in where I’m taking you, it will take you off course.
You’re going to feel a lot of things. Pay attention like you would the lights on the dashboard in your car. Those lights are a sign that the powers of darkness are at work. Don’t let those lights cause fear - they are just a caution to keep you out of trouble.
My Voice
Close your eyes. Now imagine yourself saying your name. Baby, THAT is what I sound like when I speak TO YOU. You’ve been telling people this for years now and it’s true. Then, all of the sudden, I start talking to you in letter form and you wanna dramatize it by having your friend from church “play the role” of God.
Just like a Hollywood director, you typecast your friend because of his gentle, kind, soothing, deep voice. Take a minute to consider why this is what you wish I sound like.
Christmas Overwhelm
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and center yourself.
Let’s just sit here and cry together.
Breathe.
Everything is okay… but we need to convince that rapidly beating heart of yours.
It’s two days before Christmas and we’re here again.
Christian Faith is a Cookbook
It’s 2:40 AM at your silent retreat and you’re up WRESTLING with Me over the validity of the calling on the monk’s life to the monastic lifestyle of work, silence, prayer, and contemplation?
I’d tell you to mind your own business and go back to sleep but this isn’t the first time you’ve brought this up and I think it’s time we put this subject to rest.
