Dear friends, I really enjoy sharing with you guys here so much. I was trying to seek the Lords will today about the Word that He would me to study. It is our nature to assume things all too often.
And so, I just knew that He would spring up something new and awe inspiring, concerning LOVE, because that's what He's been doing.
But I am reminded that He is God and I must NEVER presume what is next. I have been very careful here with all of you NOT to be something that I'm not,... a pretender, or play actor, fake, or even religious.
I am really broken, surrendered, a prisoner to Him ONLY. It no longer matters if people think I am "something" or "nothing". To some, this may sound sad, but for others, like me, you know how FREE it feels now. Amen?
And so, as I was waiting before the Lord, I felt the stirrings all over the world, people just so busy. People fighting, going to court,... again, people picking out drapes for the summer house, packing stuff for the family vacation, and just on and on.
Even in myself, I was a little anxious to 'see what was next'. I was running back to Him waiting for Him to 'give me another treat' to share with my wonderful friends.
Even in my wanting to search the deep things of God, there is a time when He just says, I Love you, but NO, I'm not yours,... You are MINE.
I could feel the Lord pulling me up in my mind,... Up over the people moving back and forth, honking, playing, working, laughing, just so busy. And then higher still to where I couldn't hear all the noise, but I could still see cars and planes going in all directions between all the cities.
Then I was out to where It was just totally quite and I could see the whole planet turning so slow. No more detail, just the planet,... just moving precisely and perfectly on its course.
All those people down there with NO thought of where they REALLY are in the universe. NO idea what is REALLY going on here. So little thought about what or Who is holding "the balance" of their existence.
I believe the Lord just wanted me to STOP and LOOK at His perspective for a bit.
As you are reading this we are held onto the surface of this seemingly huge ball in the midst of the giant expanse that is and has for a long time, all moved and turned together with a precision that still boggles even the greatest of minds.
How can we allow ourselves to be drawn in to all of the wasteful busywork of this world.
I am not kidding around when I say that I feel like there is NOT much time left before this world is changed. The time for separating the sheep from goats is not long now.
Fence-riders and religious want-a-be's are being pushed into one category or another and changing their minds later will NOT be an option.
The weight of sin on this world is heavy and the Holy Spirit is moving. The Word of God is being OPENED to the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS and we are seeing the SHARPEST POINT OF THE SWORD now.
This message of love that you have taken up with me here, I know has it's purpose and even what that is, I am not allowed to presume over, either.
But I will say this,... It has brought ME closer to Him than I ever thought I was before. I know from many of your comments and encouragement that you may have received much, as well.
But, to what end, and what purpose has it been given, I believe we should pray and ask God. Is there someone we know that needs to hear what He has given us? Has He set someone before us, whether in friendship or even in opposition to us, that we are to share this message of love with?
Please pray for me, also, as I seek the Lords' will for me. It is exciting to be used of God, but it is also something that I must not presume or take lightly.
I love you. |

I was thinking last night as I cleaned up after dinner that my grandparents probably didn't live life thinking they would be raptured any moment. They likely planned life with thoughts of growing old and dying and they did. I live pretty much like I may vanish any second and regret the amount of time where I am doing nothing in that prep...but working on a real estate file for the law firm...and the only lasting meaning is that my tithe and giving come from the paycheck and help in the harvest..or possible witnessing connects. It isn't the way I thought life would be when I was a young girl dreaming of a house and family and roses and white picket fence. I have roses, had my family, have a house and white picket fence in the backyard and yet...it is better living life in expectation that I won't be here to tend the roses for long, or will not care about the fence but will be in HIS presence sooooooon. love you too, juanita |
