"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

NOT FEELING IT!

Ugh! The title describes me well this day! Already went through three posts that I took off as I was not "feeling it" comfortably. I first started off with the topic of shame and what was discussed in t. yesterday. Besides my nurturing people pleasing issues, shame is high on my list to deal with also!!

But, again, what I wrote on the topic just did not sit well with me. I will and need to post about my struggles with shame, but what flowed out from me was not of the Spirit, so off it went. The time is just not right to share about this for now. Only God knows why.

A prayer for you.
Thank you, Lord, for the beauty of flowering trees, and for the inward changes and the outward expressions of development that all come in Your time. May we continue to be growing and flourishing for You in all the stages and seasons of our lives. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

JBR I know you know Jesus Christ today,and it is no accident that you do. God thought so highly of you that He personally summoned you to know Him. So the next time the devil tries to tell you that you are unimportant and no one wants you or cares about you, remember that God does!! The fact is, God looked out into eternity and saw you, and He said, I want you. I'm calling you out of this lost world to belong to Me! God Bless.

Good morning, JBR. I like how you're thinking. As Madison says, listening to the still small voice. I feel those emotions of shame too, but today I don't have to act on them, since they came to me from the actions of others and not from who I really am.

There are days like that. I hate them. Sometimes, I don't like anything I'm writing. But somehow I manage to get a blog out - just as you did. No sweat. :)

I understand (((JBR))) Shame leads to a whole cycle of negative self talk and feelings. It rates right up there with guilt as a learned behavior, and one of the hardest to get rid of. You are up to the task!!! Just recognizing it as a problem is 99% of the battle! Praying for your continued personal growth and healing.
