"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

BUD


Over the weekend, I read a little bit more from the book "Hinds Feet on High Places." The following, I discovered, is right where I believe I am on my journey:

"At the same time Much-Afraid herself was conscious of a wonderful stirring in her own heart, as though something were springing up and breaking into new life there too. The feeling was so sweet, yet so mixed with pain that she hardly knew what predominated. She thought of the seed of Love which the Shepherd had planted in her heart, and half-afraid and half-eager, she looked to see if it had really taken root and was springing up. She saw a mass of leaves, and at the end of the stem a little swelling which might almost prove to be a bud." (Page 99)

I feel I am caught between feeling something good changing and pain. The above described it so very well.

  1. It's such a hard place to be! The pain is familiar, what we are used to, yet it is still pain. The sweet, something new to us. Scary even. Yet we are entranced by that feeling. We want more of it, no matter how hard it is!

  8. I'm so right there with you....
    my own much-afraidness is trembling with both
    pain and budding and the hope that
    I can really, REALLY trust the Shepherd to take
    us from where we are to what He originally had in mind when He designed us.
    The journey is beautiful in His eyes.....this comforts me.
