"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!

PLUG INTO INTIMACY


It is no coincident that this weeks of devotions from the book Jesus Calling affects me where I am presently at. Today's devotions is no exception.

It is like the Lord knows how much I am struggling. He is just reassuring and encouraging me that it is not an easy road to travel but to hang on.

No matter what painful trial I am experiencing. No matter what fear is trying to invade my mind. Plug into His intimacy and trust Him. All along remembering that He is right there with me. He is My strength. Desiring only the best for me no matter how I am emotionally or physically feeling.

You know the one word that stands out in this devotion that stirred my Spirit is the word "tenderness."

"Seek My Face more and more. You are really just beginning your journey of intimacy with Me. It is not an easy road, but it is a delightful and privileged way: a treasure hunt. I am the Treasure, and the Glory of My Presence glistens and shimmers along the way. Hardships are part of the journey too. I mete them out ever so carefully, in just the right dosage, with a tenderness you can hardly imagine. Do not recoil from afflictions, since they are among My most favored gifts. Trust Me and don't be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song." - Jesus Calling

  2. I love being on the same page of "Jesus Calling" as so many of us are! The devotional is such a blessing. :) I know that God wants me to experience all that so that I will trust Him; trust Him enough to listen to Him and go His way. He is so much bigger than all of my anxieties put together.

    Blessings!

  4. PLUGGING INTO THE POWER SOURCE HAS THE ULTIMATE ABOVE ALL ULTIMATE EXPERIENCES. PRAYING JBR YOU'LL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THIS GLORY.

  5. JBR love that picture. Because God loves us so much and wants so much to fellowship with us on an intimate level, he creates or allows hardships to arise in our lives that can’t be solved by human minds or hands. He creates a hunger in our heart so massive that nothing can fill it but Him alone. Praying for your filling. God Bless.

  8. Trust Me and don't be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song...interesting that this verse was in my Daily Bible message that I subscribe to in my e-mail. I'm forging ahead and breaking out of the 'status quo' right now so this helps so much..

  13. I love transparency and honesty too. This was such a good post. Jesus Calling is a great devotional - it helps us long for intimacy with God rather than fear Him.
