Thank You for this beautiful day. The sun is out and it’s actually chilly for a change. What a refreshing change from the stifling heat. I love You; I adore You; I worship You. I am listening, Father.
holds you in His Fatherly arms. You are tucked deep within the recesses of His most merciful heart. Does this not please you, little one?
Yes, Father, very much. I still feel the anxieties of life, but never during them do I turn away from You or think You are not with me.
Daughter, make sense out of this life I have given you. What does it mean to suffer? Please answer this honestly.
I think that suffering is something we experience which affects our mind and body— something that we don’t like. It doesn’t feel good; it causes is a signal that something is not right. That something is not in God’s ordained will (as opposed to permissive will).
Jesus suffered to transcend that pain by offering it up to You, our Father, to be transformed. I think we are supposed to do this, too. We bring Your will into this world disfigured by our will. So, Father, suffering is an to bring Your transformative ordained will into our willful world. People are conduits for Your will and the people who suffer are much more open— what goes up to You is greater so what comes back is much greater also. But, I wonder, Father—does the act of suffering affect only that which we are suffering? Is it limited in scope to only that?
Remember this when you venture off into philosophical and theological me-anderings. There is one purpose and one purpose only for man—and that is the fulfillment of My Word and My Word brings all back into the heart of the Father from where it was born! The pain does not recede necessarily when you are in My heart, daughter. Rather, you are at peace with the pain as you are resting in My will.
Soulfully pray for the existence of sin no more. Ripe is the time and ready are My people to embrace their inheritance and identity.
Father, I feel that the minds and hearts of so many are closed to You.
As flowers before the sun, turn to me and blossom in this time, My precious ones, and live—live in Me! Shalom.
