So, Lord, what I most want to talk about today is this. I sensed the need to change, not the direction, but the rhythm of this blog. To change from a regular pace of daily postings to a more syncopated rhythm, not as regular. But that threw me off balance. Not having the regular schedule of posting caused all sorts of emotional reactions I did not expect. I am still dealing with those, and not very well, I might add.
One issue you have, that many humans have, is thinking once everything is in place and set, that nothing will change–but everything changes, all the time! The daily pattern was to help you realize I will speak every day. When you quit posting daily, you quit expecting Me to speak to you daily. That is why you have these feelings of discontent, disconnect, and disappointment. You slipped back into old patterns of thinking and behavior, which for you includes a lot of isolation, as self-protection. But I Am Still Right Here.
There are folks whose life circumstances suddenly thrust them into a position where their rhythms change, even their rhythm and pattern of their regular contact with Me–like the illness of a family member, or a schedule change in their job–and that can throw them badly off balance just when they need Me more than ever. Even traveling or visiting family can disrupt the regular routine.
They–and you–need to remember I Am Flexible. Yes, yes, I Change Not–in My Character, in My Goodness. In My Love. But look around you! Your world, the universe, is changing second by second! Babies are born, butterflies emerge, trees fall. The winds of change are blowing all the time. I, the God of All, Am Present with you through all the changes, with My Unchanging Love. That is your foundation, your bedrock, no matter what changes come. Even if those changes seem to disrupt your times of quiet contact with Me, I still Am. I Still Am.
Do you perceive the double meaning? I Continue. And I Am the Still Small Voice whispering inside you, available in every circumstance no matter how chaotic. Part of the reason for the rhythm change here, in posting, is for you to grow in being able to hear My Voice anywhere, anytime, in any circumstance. Those who read this need to know this too–and in their own experience, not just vicariously through you. What you most need right now is the Peace, the Stillness, that comes from Me as Still I Am. So breathe that in. And release all those thoughts that you have to do this all by yourself. Silly little one!
I do feel a little silly, God. Thinking that. I mean, realizing that this is what I was thinking–haven’t I learned anything yet?!?
You have learned much and grown much. Mostly you just need reminding of that. This was a good reminder lesson for you.
It didn’t feel very good. Learning it, I mean. Or re-learning it.
(Gently). So what have you learned?
That You are I Am. And You never leave us. You are right here. Even if or when we don’t understand, You are right here. You are always right here.
Indeed. I Am.
