If you have ever taken a minute to observe a hungry infant, you have seen just how desperate they can be. It doesn’t matter if a bottle is delayed by one minute or ten, the reaction of hunger holds the same intensity. The need to eat is relentless and demanding. The cry for food is most often loud, angry, and repetitive. The craving so strong that their natural instinct is to fight for it.
I could not admit this to most people because what would they think? So instead I will just put it out here on social-media where no one will ever know. (Giggles.)
During the COVID-pandemic it took me a short-while to tune out the perpetual media-saturation – but once I broke free – the reassuring whisper of His voice could be found, once again.
It is human nature to question if the paths we have taken in life,
the choices we have made,
the gifts we have shared
are pleasing to God.
Does it come from the “Will of the Father?”
Or
the desire of our own making?
There is one way, I have found, to rest in God’s presence in these moments of discernment.
It is a simple & quiet
Peace of Heart
which allows me the assurance that
my God IS speaking.
Is this an easy thing to discern?
No!
Trust me – my logic rethinks it often; yet, if it is from Him –
He always leads me back to Peace.
It is there that I find rest,
it is then that I am comforted,
it is at last…
a trust that goes beyond knowing.
(Can there be any greater peace than that?)
Today I am re-blogging a story I wrote & posted several years ago; which depicts the surprising ways in which our Father can reveal to us whateverHe may be needing us to do – as an important participation to His Master-Plan.
