I love how He loves me

This life lived resting (or meaning to) in the Grace of God is so practical.
Need what only God can supply.
Go to God.
Say hello.
Get a hug.
Tell Him what it is that only He can supply and that you need.
Wait a bit.
Be supplied.
Recognize the supply.
Give thanks.
Repeat.

I ached tonight with one of those special aches that are hardwired, part of how He made us like Himself. Since He knows all of those aches, because He aches like that, He knows how to not ache...
And how to make me not ache. So when I went to get a hug, that is what he did.

He does these things in different ways every time. Like Jesus constantly doing different miracles. Like all of the different ways of healing blindness.

I wish all training had hugs.

Father, You make everything glorious. Thank you.

Glory!

I really must not really get it. There is so much mercy and favor, and I get may extra measure today, and do not believe it.

We must think that life in Christ is without adversity. I find myself disappointed. But it is in the adversity that the grace is both needed and available. I am not grateful for the adversity,but I am learning to be grateful in the adversity. I have to go back and look at that word. This is like getting slapped into alertness, it is such a rich blessing. My AWE is restored.

It is so much about a restored soul. I will let you, Father, walk me through to the place you want me to stand, and walk me from there to the next one. And I will praise until I worship, worship until your glory is manifest, and I will stand in your glory to reflect it upon you.

Hold me, Daddy. I am trembling. But not from fear or poverty or anger.

Superfluity

"Can we order pizza?" "Sure, the number is on the fridge."

Just caught thinking about the conveniences we have in this country. I wonder what I would have to give if I inconvenienced myself regularly. Convenience has a price. How much Kingdom work could I pay for with my convenience? And do I want to?

Maybe as I am walking through the Holy Wild, leaning on my Beloved, He is showing me where sacrificial giving would work. Maybe this is one more reason for fellowship. We can do more than I. It is easy to look at the needs and what is in my pocket and conclude that I can not make a difference financially. But I know that we can.

I need to take another read through Campbell & Court's Be A Hero. http://www.beahero.org/index.html

Father, thank you for your perfect provision. Holy Spirit, thank you and continue to teach me about how to use money.
