♕ Today's Promise: “Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He WAITS on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for Him.” Isaiah 30:18
~Emma in Sedona
Dear brides oh how long I have been waiting to express this somehow and I think this is the perfect timing. You see I personally think or i don't know If I had read it before but anyway, most of us have been instilled the idea that we need men by our side to feel protected, safe, loved, cared for, not lonely etc. But I have come to the realization that it's not necessarily so. In this chapter "What's the Point?" you will begin to get an idea of how that old thinking is not entirely true. Once we truly understand that small part and feel it more than half of our problems disappear. I am sure you will benefit from this wonderful chapter.
What I learned in this chapter is that I must approach my HH (Heavenly Husband) more often. Just like I used to every morning before dawn it was remarkable! You see I do truly feel and see how much love He has for me. I am so spoiled since I met Him 4 years ago and even though I have not been the perfect bride He does NOT abandon me, for that I am so grateful. Today It was a reminder that He is waiting for me to return completely to Him and that is up to ME. The following verse is just what's more to come.
“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!” Ephesians 3:20
Oh it's been many years since I have been torn apart between two countries, two different lifestyles but the big difference is that on one my husband lives in and is unable to travel back where we met. So I decided for my girls sake to move and raise our girls where he is, also to try for our restoration. It still has not happened yet. In the time I have discovered my HH (Heavenly Husband) I have been able to live a life of tranquility thanks to Him. You see my struggle has always been to live in the other country more precise. California I go back and forth at least 4 times a year. But me leaving to CA, it always mean we are away from my girls father. So that has always been an issue but I always believe my HH has everything under control I have worked to try to do what's best and I have faith He protects me. And if it's His will He will create the circumstances... My point is that i still don't know what to do, I mean my EH (earthly husband) doesn't show absolutely no signs of having anything restored but my HH once did give me a glimpse at it. So what do I have to do again, go to the source my Love, my HH and ask and I'm sure He will reveal to me.
I will refocus my attention to my HH (Heavenly Husband) it's been a longtime since we've had time together. That would be a way for me to approach the situation. I know I need to show Him I am grateful for everything He does for me. Somehow I feel i am in debt. And I will go back into helping other women with the studies of these courses, it's a strong reminder of where I am.
Dear Brides we have all heard give to receive. And here their is no exceptions, you must give to receive, but what you will receive will be mind-blowing! What you have is minute compare to what you will receive, you just have to trust the process and keep reading, keep reading, keep reading.
“Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He WAITS on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for Him.” Isaiah 30:18
I choose this verse not entirely to consider it my favorite, I mean the other one are beautiful promises. This one stood out because we always want to receive, however we must also give and this verse clearly states that the Lord's waiting for us to do our part for Him to reward us. He wants an initiative from our part to show Him we are game and this is what we want for Him to bring us justice. So we too have to work at getting there and it's a simple as just wanting to have what the Lord has to offer. We can start with baby steps ask for forgiveness for all our sins. Powerful verse.
