A Personal Word....

I want to share something of a more personal nature. I was going through stuff that’s been packed away for a long time today, and found an old journal. Here is something the Lord gave me in May of 1994, when I was in S. Calif.
………

"I am in a place where man cannot enter. I enter the heart; no one can enter that place but me.

Work is in changing the winter wheat into living bread. Words are living bread, not from the person, only from the one who lives within.

Mercy and Jesus fit in the holies. I am waiting for the words of men to stop.

Know thou, that regardless of what comes upon the earth, Thou art not of the earth, nor of the night. For thou art of the Spirit, and of the day. Fear thou not what comes upon the earth, and upon the earth man, but look thou unto the Lord thy God. For in Him is thy safety, and in Him is thy joy. And thy joy, even the joy of the Lord, shall be thy strength."



I am sharing this, because there are many out there to whom this word applies. All of us are HIS workmanship, at varying stages of growth and development. For me right now, I can only make it through one day at a time. I have lost many loved ones over the years, but never have I felt grief like this. It comes on me in waves that threaten to overwhelm in their intensity. Yet I know that this too is part of the Plan... that God has everything in total control. I appreciate the song my brother Rob recorded, Putting Off The Armor. It is an old poem by Alice Cary that he put to music. I know that is what Guy did when he passed over. He put off the armor, his struggle is over and he is rejoicing. while I am still here and in the fight. It seems almost contradictory to experience such extreme grief and joy at the same time, but that is what is happening on an hourly basis. We all need to believe that we are of the Spirit, and look unto the Lord for all things. Even in the midst of extreme grief, we can still partake of the Joy of the Lord. HE ALONE is our strength. Perhaps this will bring comfort to someone else who is going through a difficult time as well. I was especially struck by the words, 'tis the glory that divides us, not the darkness as you think'... Praise GOD!

God bless,
