"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!" Psalm 27:14
Hello beautiful brides
This morning as I was getting ready for my day, I realized something profound. At this stage in my journey, my walk with my Beloved Lord, I no longer feel like I'm paused, in the waiting. I no longer am afraid, afraid to go do things with my kids because I miss someone so much. So longer waiting on the edge of my seat, desperate to see what happens next. My love has brought my heart to such a place of freedom, that I no longer even think about people who are no longer in my life, like how much better would it be if they were here with me. He has brought me to a place, where yes I am waiting, but I am now living! Spending time with precious friends, my wonderful children, enjoying them. Serving and helping where there are opportunities. There no longer feels like there is a hole in my heart, because In His perfect and absolute filling of love, my Love has filled it.
Time waits for no man, so live. Be present in this moment. Allow Him to fill me, to be my everything so that I can LIVE.
My dear rasa, it was the hardest stage of all to let go. For months I didn’t understand this process but today I’ve realized that holding someone in our heart makes our loved one sad. Your eulogy comes just at the right time the November 28th devotional gives us another little jolt of refreshment. That journey is made because our beloved wants us to keep us only for him. I’ve made a little list of what I can do and I really feel happy to enjoy every moment with my children and especially to decorate, paint and not look back.
November 28th
“You have taken my friends away from me; You have made me an abomination to them; I am shut in and cannot come out” (Ps. 88:8).
“Beloved, if you are alone, if the one you love has left you, then don’t despair. It is not your beloved who has left you, but it is the Lord who has taken him away from you. It’s not His desire to take this one away from you forever, but only for a season to give you that precious, intimate time with your first love – Him. Use this time wisely; let your beloved go – give it to God. Don’t try to hold on, because doing so will make you an object of disgust to Him. The Lord will have to lock you into your life so that you can no longer walk away from Him.”
Dear race, I am so glad that He has filled your life so fully. He occupies the place He deserves in our lives, because He is the one who deserves all glory. And this waiting room at His side gives us peace, and we can live, only longing for Him.
It is true, the emptiness that we feel at the beginning, He fills it with His presence, so that we live being renewed and loved, with His love.
I love that, being on His waiting room, what a beautiful place to be! thank you for sharing that with me sister!
Dear Rasa, letting go is so very hard and it’s a process. For me, there was several stages of letting go. Our Beloved only gives us what we can handle, a little at a time, He works on one thing at a time in order to bring it to completion. Each stage of letting go was so freeing and I received more of my Beloved which is exactly what I’ve always wanted. He filled the void in my heart with Himself. So He can truly be All we need, All we want and All we live for. And like you said now, with Him in His rightful place, we are truly living!!! 💝
Release… It is a bit of a difficult lesson, sometimes I feel that I have already let go, and other times I feel that I am again in that spiral of emotions, what I love is that Our Beloved works with each one and gives me hope that He did it for you and for other beautiful women, for me too, it frees me every day and helps me to love Him above all things, even over my desires and to live as you say in the TA, that abundant life that He prepared for each one💓
Dear Rasa thank you for sharing how our Beloved Lord changed your journey. During the time that I was a “weekend-mom” my Beloved really helped me to completely let go of everything and to start living again, even if the situation didn’t look good to the outside world. When the children were with me over weekends we would go out and do things like going for long walks or going to the park and outdoor gym where we played soccer and trained on the equipment. We went to the movies or trampolines parks where I jumped with them, we had so much fun during that time. But even now that I see them almost every day, we still do things together to get out of the house and just enjoy being together.
