cont… Abejide, I’ve done it again! My fingers get away from me, but perhaps it was a good place to end.
Still, i am thinking that perhaps i felt i must take up a position that put me directly into the work of finding His face? I became certified as a Christian Lay-Speaker. With small children, just the paperwork became too much. When i was 9, i proudly announced to my Methodist mom, that Id be a nun when i grew up. She covered well. Maybe that gets in the way for many ? After reading the wonderful news you’ve written, it seems free of that perceived necessity. Thank you for such a solid foundational understanding, that rises to unlimited heights. Im looking forward to hearing more.
You are about The Father’s work. Blessings to you & your family & all who pass this way. Amen.
Cont… & stephen miller has uped the quota! Remembering the films of our liberating the nazi camps, realizing it’s happening right here, right now, and I can’t get my head around it. They are here for anyone to see. Gassing isn’t happening, but people are dying. The conditions are deplorable. People are thirsty. They’re hungry. They aren’t given their medicine. Children are reporting that they have been physically and sexually abused. Every day is too long. It takes everything I can think to do every day to try something that helps. Our conversations about God are my saving grace. Thank you for being here and reminding me of His Truth. You see far more clearly than i. Sometimes I’m stunned by what you say that i haven’t seen!
Please remind us all to pray & keep praying, for our Country, for Palestinians & all the victims of wars, we support, for nothing more than greed, vanity & power. If there is doubt, dont take my word. It’s all easily verifiable. My plea is that everyone look, pray & vote. Ask the Holy Spirit to accompany you in your search. God is never the source of confusion.
Our precious Lord Jesus is always with us. We praise His powerful Name. To God be the glory.
I love you all. God bless us in service to His great goodness. Amen
Pastor Abejide, i am still rolling a way the music of your name. I hope you dont mind because I’m having some success. Im sure theres a teacher who can enlighten me. Like you say, it’s been awhile, its been filled with urgency. There should be, at the end of the day, the peace of The Lord, knowing that we’ve accomplished, sufficient unto the day, what is ordained. It’s mine to release that burden, yet I’m stuck in the rut of “never enough time”. The stop, the be still & know, i must remember is there & its not easy. After all this time, surely i should have learned by now! It’s that very reality that would release the stress & widen the opportunity for return. Instead “the suffering” are calling & i cant stop hearing, even tho i trust God is taking action, filling to the brim, smoothing out the complexity. Seeing the brutality, daily. Knowing there are some 70,000, mostly quite innocent of any criminal act, in concentration camps across our very country
Reading your words feels like stepping into a sacred space. Your journey from asking what God will do to finding Him right in the middle of it is so powerful. It is amazing how His assurance cuts through everything when we need Him most.
Thank you for sharing your lifelong heart for His face, from childhood to your time as a Lay-Speaker. Your kindness and prayers mean so much. Grace and peace to you always. Amen.
Abejide, Thank you for giving me a ride to the fulness of a blessing, long in the making. Its as tho i was walking the dusty hot highway to the sundown. You drove up in a comforting vehicle & kindly offered me a safe & smooth lift. You brought me the rest of the way. I accepted because i recognized it was for me. Im not patting my back, or even yours, although i am very grateful. Im only trying to say we were using our gifts & being ready to recognize them & also to share this most holy space because there are many going this way. This message i clearly understand, where i was confused, even by my own answer in my last response, but gave it anyway. I told you about The Fathers telling me i was all right with Him, took me 20 yrs to understand, literally. A while after that, i was screaming out in actual pain for His help, & our Lord Jesus said in a stern voice, “Michele, you have everything you need!” Now, i understand more fully. That moment took place in 1980. I believed Him. I took back my agency & went on.
Those voices were heard once. With my testimony, i was tried, to hold my faith in the face of even pastors, who assured me, those things are no longer done. “You must have been under the influence”, or perhaps it’s your brain in a “near death” experience. Our God, in His divine Trinity, will speak when The Word promises, but it is what is said that matters most. This mystery is still beyond most of us. The thing is, God is real.
What you are saying is real. Yearning to find & love Our Creator & Redeemer and having a hunger for the fullness of what He taught should bring us to knowing His face. Is that what you are saying? Although, from what ive learned about prayer, we must ask, aloud, for exactly what we are seeking
Thank you so much for this profound reflection, Gregrey. Your words, especially about shifting from asking 'What are You going to do about this?' to 'Where are You in this?', go straight to the heart of what I hoped to convey.
There is such a deep, refining grace in realizing that the Giver Himself is the ultimate gift, and that life often walks us into truths our minds alone could never fully grasp. I'm deeply moved that this spoke to you, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your journey.
Thank you so much for including my post in your weekly roundup, Laura! I truly appreciate you sharing it and spreading the blessing. I'll definitely check it out!
Awesome!
