In between arriving and departing, in between getting ready and going, in between delighting and finding, in the between of moving and staying, in between decisions and confusion, in between pausing and pressing on, in between choosing and surrendering...Jesus is there, issuing assurance, grace and mercy....whispering, TRUST ME, take My Word to heart, I am with you always, and my plans for you are marvelous!
Faith dancing requires a trusted Partner. His hand is outstretched and our small part is to follow His lead, even in times like these, even when life gets broken. WE SHALL BEHOLD HIM, we will be equipped with lessons and the courage to FLY and bring JESUS all the GLORY. Let us run the race, or at best walk this way and let our toes dangle at the Edge of the Divine. Be encouraged by the lyrics of Sandi Patty's heart and lean on Him and participate in His profound Presence by being still. Let us not obsessively and excessively plan...but let us accept the truth that Jesus has a better plan, and let us seek Him and rest in the stillness.
CONSIDERATION: To be considerate means to exercise careful thought or deliberation. It is thoughtful concern for, or sensitivity toward, the feelings of others. When you are considerate toward others, you demonstrate high regard and esteem for them. Generally speaking, we have no problem showing consideration for ourselves! Philippians 2:3 instructs us to consider others more highly than ourselves. Friends, family, and acquaintances shouldn’t have to earn our consideration; because of our relationship with Christ, we should always show them the utmost care and consideration.
ReplyDeleteEPHESIANS 4:29-32 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
