Jeremiah 6:16, which says, “Stand at the crossroads and look. Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.”
I say this from the fullness of my heart…I’ve craved true, real, lasting Peace since my birth, or at least it’s felt that way! So when I breathe out this blessing of His Peace as I’m sitting here in front of my computer praying for you, I feel the energy of His Peace going forth to find you. Receive His Peace as you read this, wrapped in His love and mine. (Matt 10:12)
I’ve been a quiet, private person since my beginnings. Peter, my husband, who recently passed on to the Lord, is the beautiful, humble man of G-d, he loved to talk, but not me. I’ve always longed for the contemplative, the cloistered, the sacred; I love the mysteries of G-d. My heart seeks out the Fear/awe of the Lord, and to live in the sacredness of that realm…Incense, holy fire, my heart longs to truly comprehend the Sacred.
My dream would be to live the life of a “monk-ette”, to live in a monastery. It’s the way my heart translates holiness into tangible images. The call to be separated from the world and its viewpoints, opinions, teachings. No longer under the teachers of the world. But to be now enraptured in learning all my heart can take in from Him and His Kingdom. How this new life works. How to “do life” in His Kingdom. In my heart G-d is the beauty of fragrant oils, frankincense, myrrh and ancient music, the dark hues of scarlet and tapestry. He has been The Voice within me since I gave my life to Christ, which always whispers words so full of love, such noble words, He speaks without doubt or hesitation which was so unusual to me, but this became the “knowing” it was Him and not me.
Even His correction was soaked in His love and commitment to me. Always a reassurance that He would never leave me nor forsake me. He doesn’t give up on me. But He continues to help me to see life as He sees it, allowing His correction to reform me into oneness with His nature. He seemed to me to be like an ancient Rabbi, a trusted Teacher, full of the joy of teaching. When He speaks, His wisdom is beyond my comprehension. He’s never quick to speak though, I think He’s always trying to get me to be more like Him in that way. He’s quiet, The Presence that is always there, even when He doesn’t speak, there’s an awareness of His Breath…and I always know in my “knower” that He is tenderly humbling Himself to explain things to me with such grace and patience which is beyond my understanding. Much like a loving father crouches down to a beloved son or daughter, he gently stops to explain something to a small cherished child. Because the child is important and is learning every moment. So every moment is a teachable moment. Children are continually absorbing life and in need of His Presence, His Wisdom and His Ways of doing and being.
I try to remember that I am always simply, and beautifully, just His child, nothing more, nothing less. Open and ready to listen, to learn, to be corrected, forgiven, and loved. And I wouldn’t want it any other way. If I could sum up my Journey, thus far, it has been Ancient Paths and Sacred Passages…G-d’s Ways are the Ancient Paths, there are unfolding seasons and lessons filled with His Wisdom…and these illuminations have shone brilliantly in the dark nights of my journey, as they have for you as well. He was and is always, always, always here with me, there with you…quietly, like the Ancient One He is. He is All Knowing, All Powerful and Ever, Ever Present…And I am completely and utterly in love with Him.
I hope my sharing these few words will enable you to know me a little better allowing you and me to journey together…to be more aware to appreciate the ancient paths of G-d’s Ways and learn from every sacred passage we go through, gleaning all the wisdom we can garner. The journey was meant to be shared…we were meant to walk together with Him…wee lambs, huddled together, and dear to His heart…we are His, and He is ours…and we are one.
Know I am here praying for you. And join me Monday through Friday at 6am through 9am on WKBO1230am The Fortress for more prophetic intercession on Gentle Whispers. Follow along on Facebook The Fortress 1230AM WKBO.
