Lord, what would You say about any of this? About anything, period?
You are always looking for the least crack, the least opening, to share about this life you have found, hoping your words inspire others to find their life in Me.
It is true, Lord. I am—but carefully. Am I doing any good at all?
You are opening the skittish to love and your reward will be their love and loyalty to you. And that is enough. That is as much—more—than they would ever have received on their own, or from any other source. Your approach is just right. Just keep loving on them.
Ok, Lord, but I feel like I am failing, in so many areas. You name it.
I haven’t “Named it”—you have. When have I ever Named you a failure? Even in those years you regret, I named Myself over you: Protector, Forgiver, Healer—and it was so. Liberator, Deliverer, Repairer of the Breach—and it was so. Why don’t you let Me Name Myself over you now? Over your worries and fears? Over your doubt? Over your tendency to listen to voices that name you lacking, not enough, displeasing?
Why don’t you hear My Names:
I Who Am well-pleased with you.
I Who Am your strength.
I Who Am your…
Lord, what a time to be interrupted, yesterday! Yet coming to the page this morning, I am realizing, fill in the blank: I Who Am your everything, everything you need.
