There are certain nights I couldn't sleep, most especially when my day has been particularly heavy or when I fail to communicate with particular people. I had dry spells over a month and I felt the Lord a bit far from me. I received no consolations and I felt the intensity of my inordinate desires increasing.
We've been taught that dreams are extensions of our daily lives... when what was not given any particular attention or neglected or unaccepted has been pushed to the subconsciousness. They lay like icebergs waiting for "titanic" to nudge it to emerge into the conscious state...
I sang David's psalm of trust that made my heart serene...
"My soul rests in God alone, from whom comes my salvation. God alone is my rock and salvation my secure height; I shall never fall..." ---Psalm 62,2-3
You r a wonderful women with a strong deep faith...stay happy and well

All you have to do is be yourself and live the story of your own unique life. Be proud. Be confident. And most of all be happy....LOVE U SWEETHEART
ReplyDeleteI love your pure faith and how you went back to the psalms to help put your heart at rest. God always welcomes us into His Word for peace, encouragment and instruction. I have found it to be like a soothing and healing balm to my wounds. May you never cease to feel His abiding presence and love.

its a different world, its a different connectivity in silence between GOD and me. he is there with me in every highs and lows though, i feel HIM more when i feel i am lost. HE becomes by source, my clue to find myself again in the flowing crowds. HE is the one who keeps me grounded making me think of the privileges HE has destined for me. i ponder over HIS blessings and find strength to fight back and rediscover a new me.
ReplyDeletei relate to you soul-sis, u are one white lily that GOD has sent on earth for me to share my world of intimate solitude and lighten my soul to feel HIM close.
