From God
Come and sit with Me. I am your Father, the One looking after
you day in and day out. Do you realise that there is nothing that I
don't know about you? I know whether you are sitting or standing
up. I know what you are thinking and I know what you are fearing. I
know all your cares and all your worries. I know your pain and I
know of every emotional tear. I know of all the stress you are
carrying and I know how rushed you are.
But I also know what is good for you. I know how to care for
you. I made every intricate detail of the masterpiece you call your
body and therefore I know what is best. Trust Me. Give your life
over to Me, every part of it, your health, your work life, your
marriage, your children, your friends, your social tendencies, your
hobbies, your exercise regime, everything. I want it all, I want
you.
Don't be like a stubborn toddler that doesn't want to take his
mother's hand and run in front of an approaching car. Don't be like
a schoolboy that thinks it is funny to be disrespectful to
authorities placed above him. Don't be like a teenager that tests
his parents' patience by doing exactly the opposite from what they
told him to do. Don't be like a man that neglect his elderly
parents and never come to visit them. Don't be like them. My
heartfelt desire is that My children will love Me, respect Me,
listen to Me and spend time with Me.
Come, come and be Mine. You are My prized possession, the one I
smile about. You are the one I created with so much care and with
so many plans. I was so excited the day you were born, so much more
than your parents were. The heavens rejoiced and the angels sang.
It was a special day.
Now make My heart proud. I didn't make you a robot that
must obey My every command, no, I made you special, so
that every act of obedience shines out like a rainbow into this
world. The world is in desperate need of rainbows and you are the
one that needs to shine it out for all to see. Complete obedience
to Me will radiate so much colour and light into this world, that
evil will have no chance to survive.
Complete obedience equals complete surrender. Surrender to My
Spirit within and dedicate your life to one being transformed by
Him. Once that happens, you will walk with My authority here on
earth, as My son and with the rights and privileges that come with
the title.
Step by step My children will change this world. Are you ready?
Come, come and sit with Me. I want to envelop you in totality with
My love. I want to surround you with My grace. May you discover the
secret of spending quality time with Me. You will cry out for more.
Lucky for you, we will be together for all eternity to come. Come
on and experience it now already.
Ponder this:
- Write down all the areas of your life that you want to give
over to God.
- Which areas are you with holding from Him? And why? What are
you afraid of?
- Have you recently been disobedient towards God? Ask the Holy
Spirit to reveal it to you.
- What were the consequences of your disobedience? Sit still and
analyse your situation. What will you do differently next time? How
will you rectify the situation now?
- Read and meditate on the following Scriptures this week:
- God wants to help you, obey Him - Isaiah 1:18, 19
- Read again the devastating effects that Adam and Eve's
disobedience brought to the world - Genesis 3:1-24
- Decide to be as bold as the disciples were in obeying God -
Acts 5:29
- Jesus was obedient to the end and as a result of it, He was
exalted - Philippians 2:5-11
