If you are visiting  fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to  read the ABOUT section.   I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him  —  so you can hear him also.  He calls me His Child –  but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children.   I invite you to listen as HIS child.  Remember always,  God loves you. †

“Child, we did not finish yesterday.  Know, we are never finished.  

Shshshs … Quiet – be still – You left and now you are back – let’s talk.  Yes, let’s talk … together … a conversation.  Let’s talk.  Speak to me in prayer – I listen.  Then you must be silent … and listen to me.  Child, my children know how to speak.  Beautifully.  I love their prayers – but all they do is  pray.  They pray heartfelt, beautiful prayers; sincere, poetic, rich and … then they stop – and move on into the day – or into the night.  Child, when you ask a question of a friend, do you then turn and walk away, leaving them speechless for you have gone … no one there to hear their answer? How does that make them feel … as if they are not valued or perhaps the question was not sincere?

Shshsh child – imagine how I feel when my words fall on deaf ears?

I have so much to say – so much to give – and my children do not hear – not because they can’t but because they do not know that they can. 

You did not know how to ride a bike when you first got on it – but by trying – perhaps falling a few times – you learned and the moment you mastered the balance, it was so natural.  You cannot imagine not knowing how to ride – and you then never forget.  You may become a little wobbly – but in a few short pedals – you have your bearings back and you remember the joy of the movement – the sense of unity with the bike … child …

Shsh  … you started with training wheels.

This story is for you, precious, dear child,

Tomorrow you begin the next part of your journey,

I am the wheels – the motion – the security.  The spirit is your guide, will give you the directions, your compass; and my son your safety net – the one who will never let you get hurt when you fall.

You will fall – and he will keep you safe and heal your wounds – that you will return to the journey.

Be conscious, deliberate and sure.

Ride in confidence, trust – faith – follow the spirit – and embrace each moment as the finest.

Prepare to be astonished.

Enjoy the journey.

You know the glory of the destination.

The story of the glory – its reality not comprehensible.

Child … ride!

In truth and love

My faithful child,

Follow to lead others.  In joy and peace, serve … that I might serve you.  As my son was the servant, so are you.  Serve and love like Jesus”

Amen Amen Amen

Go to the Word, precious child

Lord, almighty God – In your infinite great mercy – you took me to Luke 22:25, where Jesus confirms the “least are the greatest” … and spoke of his role as the servant.  I am speechless – in awe, that time after time I turn the page, open the Book to the Word that confirms your Word to me.  In great humility, I receive your gift of confirmation.  I love you.

Luke 22:25-30

… the leader should be like a servant.  Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves?  The one who sits at the table, of course.  But not here!  For I am among you as one who serves”.
