Father, yesterday you took me to Luke 11:46.  Please help me to receive the Word as it is meant for me today – the living Word – a message for all time; for truth is eternal.  Help me to hear the truth – the lesson—the message in the Word that I might live and serve you in the glory of your son, Jesus.  Let me please Jesus, my Savior, my Redeemer, my King.  Let me return to the Word an empty vessel  — without presupposition — or without worldly interpretation; but with divine inspiration.  Father, allow me to hear you through the Word – and receive all that you desire for me today.  Empty my mind at this moment, that I may be filled with the wisdom of your Word … and give me strength and purpose to do all that you ask … in the precious name of Jesus – hear my prayer.

“Child – I led you there first as confirmation of the lessons you heard in church on Sunday.

Shshssh… the laws of the church are man-made, not God made.  I have only one law – to love.  When you love there is civility – there is compassion – there is generosity – there is truth.  For love denies and exposes all that is not true.  Love is like a candle flame – it exists in the simple air of life – oxygen – but when you take away the oxygen, the simple truth of my son – it is extinguished – no longer able to burn – to shine – to be a light.  Child, be simple minded – and single minded.  Love and be loved – and reflect love.

There is where you are most happy – for there is where you were born to live.  There is your truth.

You said to yourself just days ago – you asked yourself … “what makes me unhappy … “  in an effort to reveal what makes you happy …. in an effort to return to joy.

What did you decide child?  Order, simplicity, and yes — to return to joy meant you must return to me – empty, ready and hungry to be filled.

Come to me empty daily – begin each day new that I might fill you with true grace.

… that I might fill you

With forgiveness when forgiveness is needed – it will be yours.

With courage – when courage is needed, it will be yours.

With strength .. when strength is needed, it will be yours.

With compassion, with patience, with wisdom –

ALL that you need will be provided.

Child, simplicity is peace –  you need not know all the answers or carry the heavy burdens of the day.

A wise man knows nothing from his own self … but he is wise because he knows the source of wisdom.

Child, the source of all that you need is Jesus.

One simple prayer – and all that you need is there.

In the hurriedness of the world – “one-stop” shopping is thriving.  Amazon – wherever you are, Child, you can order whatever you want and it will be provided to your front door.

Jesus is the One and only – true source.  You need nothing more.  You need to look no further.

Be sure child – though – that you defer to what Jesus discerns are your true needs – and receive them with gratitude and celebration – whatever they are!  Large or small – be gracious and grateful.  Not just a little grateful for small things … and proportionally grateful for large things – but fully grateful in each and every gift; a beautiful sunset, the sweet song of the morning bird, the generosity of a stranger, the healing of a loved one … be equally and fully grateful in all things.

… there is your greatest joy.

Child – the lessons in Luke 11:46 –  … be single minded.  Do not complicate that which is so simple – and receive and rejoice in the truth of my son.

AND more child – for today – Luke 11:33 … Jesus teaches about the light.  Child, my son speaks the truth – always.  11:33  “No one lights a lamp and then hides it under a bucket” … Instead a lamp is placed on a stand where it’s light can be seen by all who enter the house.”

Child – let your light shine for all who enter the house ..

Return to write

Return to your work

Return to ‘fromGraceforGlory…”

Return in obedience

Go and love and be loved.

Lovely child – “
Amen Amen Amen
