You Can Be Quieted With the Everlasting Love of Your Father - A Gift You Give Yourself

Who can turn your weaknesses into victory? Who can use those things in you that you perceive as “flaws” to help you grow and grow up? We aren’t born and ready to go off to college the next day. Our human existence is a learning process. We learn from exploring, we learn from watching others, we learn from making mistakes. Experience is a great teacher and the Holy Spirit is the best one to take us by the hand and lead us through this life." Be still and know that I am God" isn’t just a verse in the Bible but could become our life’s calling.
I love your praises and your songs but more than that to know that you realize my love and moment by moment concern.
Tune in, the margin is narrow but the power and frequency are strong.
You are loved just as you are. Through my strength your weakness shall be covered and transformed to victory for my glory.
My love is unlimited, not polluted by warped humanity but creative and boundless as eternity. It is not crippled or maimed or deformed but pure and whole. Those wrapped in it are being healed and transformed to my likeness. My strength is ever sufficient and abundant. I love you.
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! (NKJV)
Psalm 98:4
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. (NKJV)
2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (NKJV)
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying:" Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you. (NKJV)
Isaiah 30:21
Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, " This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. (NKJV)
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, please help us to "tune in" and rely on You instead of ourselves. Please help us to listen for that still, small voice which does indeed direct us the left or the right. Help us to trust You more and to be HUSHED in awe of You and Your love. AMEN

Hi Marijo -
Thank you. This piece is potent with truth. Love is evident in its expressions.
I was struck when I cam here to read this this afternoon that we used the same scripture, "Be still and know that I am God." I used it this a.m. on my blog post and then I came here and saw that the Lord had you to use it, as well.
He is so awesome.
Thank you, Marijo, this warm piece indeed ministered!Thanks Sandra - have been too sick to do much writing but wanted to post something in honor of His birth! Am weak but a bit better today! Thanks for coming by - be still and know that I am God should be one of my life time scriptures 9the be still part especially) A beautiful mug showed up on my front porch years ago with that scripture on it and all my friends and co-workers said they didn't know anything about it....
After reading this, I am sure that I can't encourage you more than you encourage yourself. A very good articleThanks Verna - wrote this when i was very sick but am actually a touch better today! Had to write for His Birthday!
Written in your wonderful and unique style, Marijo. Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us, especially at this time of year.Thanks Heidi - I turned a corner today and am actually feeling like I might join the land of the living again and get out of the recliner I have lived in for the past 8 days! Thanks for reading this one! Now maybe I can get back to writing more!
Thakyou for a lovely, hopeful piece. Strong write. 'Be still and know that I am God' is my favourite sentence; I like to use it when meditating.
CarolThanks Carol - how have you been? New Year Blessings to you!
My message from the Lord as of late is rest in my everlasting arms, keep your eyes on me, and I will meet your every need. This has been one of the roughest weeks of my life and yet all I feel is His love and everyday a little more of his prophecy comes to fruition. I just know the same will happen for you too.
Don't let go Marijo, keep your eyes on Him.
I am hanging on tightly and praying for you too! Hope things take a right angle turn for you this very week!
