Whispers from the Holy Spirit

When I'm nervous I talk. BE STILL .  Thank you for showing me that,  Father.    Being a Christian is in our heart rather than something we do.  Building our world on ungodly principles, misrepresenting God's true meanings and following self-proclaimed Christian examples turns our rock-solid foundation to styrofoam.  We will all answer to God for the decisions we make here on earth.   God doesn't schedule in idleness .  God doesn't plan for obesity . God doesn't  factor in missed, unprepared-for opportunities . Each of those is a total waste of God’s intentions, resources, plans for our lives. Are we undermining God's plans for our best future.  We’reIt probably standing in the way of God' answers to prayers, too.   What are you really choosing?  What’s the presently unforeseen, ultimate consequence of your choice?  Look 5 minutes,  5 months and   5 weeks ahead.  Have a picture in your mind of ...

As part of my family dynamics, I wasn't included in daily life. I learned to amuse myself and not pay attention to what was going on around me.  Consequently,  it's my nature to do things my own way. Partially because I don’t pay close attention.  It may not be my intention, but that's the result.  Don’t be satisfied with (quietly proud of) the separatist result. Consider what others would do in my everyday situations.  Compensate. Enjoy the new position. Develope curiosity.  You can still be strong.  Picture myself in a nursery school class. The little girl in the corner, instead, being a happy, contented participant. Looking around, observing, enjoying, living out equality.
