Rest

Dear One, you do not have to chase after blessings the Lord has promised. You are like an anxious child waiting for a flower to bloom. The petals are unfurling and do not need your “hurry-up” help. You can’t have an effect either for good or for harm. Quit struggling to move what you are not able to move, and stop fearing that you are going to inadvertently cause circumstances to go awry. Rest in the Lord.

Jesus slept in the boat as the storm approached; and you can rest now. Your storm is not a storm at all, but is rather an downpour of blessing. It will be somewhat like sitting in a shower of beautiful fireworks, but instead of the sharp prick of burning sparks there will be blessings; instead of darkness, beauty of light. You don’t have to appropriate these blessings for yourself, they will come to you. Nothing is required but that you enjoy the display with thanksgiving and praise.

Oh this is GOOD! Blessings, blessings, blessings heaped upon me with a whopping side helping of peace! Thank you Lord for Your Holy Spirit words and my sweet Aunt Linda's willingness to share then. So great!
