You Just Need to Ask



This is my response to a friend who shared of a recent dream she had.....of a chair in her deepest soul....where Jesus came and sat down, bringing such deep peace.  What did it all mean?

Why not ask him a question and wait for his response?

Jesus, if you are sitting on a chair in my heart, what do you want to tell me today?


 I love you and I want to live in you; to be in an intimate relationship, where you will always know how deeply I love you.  I made you and love you just as you are.  I know how hard it is for you to see yourself as I see you, but I'd love to share more of my perspective with you.  You just need to ask.

 I love you and I want to heal all your hurts. When you get tired of nursing those wounds yourself, just bring them to me.  I want to deep clean the infection that keeps them festering.  I know all about what was said and done to you. Let me heal your mind.  I know you can't clean yourself up alone.  When you get tired of trying, you just need to ask.

 I love you and would love to help you find your purpose; so you can go out into the world each day to shine and make it a better place, even if for just one other person.  I want you to love others as I have loved you; in the same way that I'm loving you daily.  I know you are about protecting self and can't love others unconditionally all the time.  When your love runs dry and you need some of mine, you just need to ask.

 I love you and would love to create peace in all your relationships.  When you feel conflicted, bring it to me and we can talk it out;  to see what's yours to deal with and what's theirs to let go of.  I'm all about finding resolution.  I know how small, petty things can hinder peace.  I also know you need more of me to navigate conflict.  You just need to ask.

 I love you and would love to houseclean the clutter and junk that you don't need in your heart for health and happiness.  If you would simply loosen your grip and ask me to clean for you, I could remove all the extra "stuff".  I could even help you get rid of that dank smell in the far corner.  I know it's too much for you to clean up on your own.  You just need to ask.

 I love you and would love for you to play and create more freely; to find joy in the playground of my world.  There is beauty in the everyday gifts all around that I place for your enjoyment, when you slow down enough to notice and appreciate them.  I'd love to open your eyes so you can see more of what is still hidden.  You just need to ask.

 I love you and want to transform your heart into my temple, my dwelling place where I can reside forever.  In your heart, I'd love to establish my kingdom on earth where my will can be done as it is in heaven.  I know that cleaning yourself up for me is impossible.  That's why I've already paid the full price at the cross.  You just need to ask.

 I love you deeply and love pursuing more of your heart.  Thanks for asking and taking the time to soak in more of my love for you.

 Jesus Christ

Unexpected Beauty

There is snow and then there is fluffy snow. Today everything is becoming frosted in freshness as large flakes waft down steadily. With little wind blowing, the flakes are settling on top of everything, sticking evenly and outlining what is beneath. No longer is the ice, sand and salt visible, as beauty is everywhere. I chose this morning to enjoy the beauty. I know the slippery ice is still there as well as all the dirt and grime from yesterday. Yet I would be missing out on fresh joy if I focused instead on the ice. I'm thinking too of the loses in life that are out of my control to change. It's one thing to feel sad and mourn that loss but it's my choice whether to focus on it totally or look for fresh beauty. Today I want to start a "Beautiful" list, topped by today's snowfall and the names of special people in my life. After that, only time will tell what I will add as I intentionally look for beauty all around me.

The joy Inside

Here in Canada, we are celebrating Thanksgiving. I love this early October celebration as the trees start to change and show their true colours. It's like we are finally getting a real glimpse of the inner beauty hidden inside some the trees. It takes the harshness of the weather conditions and the lack of nourishment to bring out that colour. In the same way, it often takes the hard times of life and it's challenges to bring what's inside me. Sometimes it's ugly and sometimes it's beautiful but it makes me more aware of me. I am good at pretending; of smiling and thinking all is well. When the hurtful words come out, I'd like to blame my circumstances or other people, because then it's not my fault. It's taken time, but I'm learning to accept myself with my unique colours and allow God to work on the stuff than needs removing. I'm so thankful today for the bits of love, joy and peace that I have experienced in this past year. I see that n

My 23rd Psalm

The Lord is my teacher, I shall lack nothing. He knows me by name and provides everything I need to learn. As I respond to his step by step instructions, I find my deep longings becoming satisfied. He leads me towards discovering new things for myself. There are even recess breaks where I can be restored and nourished. He guides me daily as I follow his lead through the curriculum. When I ask questions, he brings people, circumstances and his own writings to my attention. He never makes me feel stupid, just gently redirects and encourages me in a way that suits my personality. Even though I walk through overwhelming experiences and fearful times, I will keep focusing on my teacher. He is constantly with me. The time outs and words of correction, they comfort me because I know he loves me. He will never abandon or transfer me out but will stick with me through times of regression and stagnation. He prepares blessing in the "ah-ha" moments and I overflow with peace
