I spoke to a lady yesterday who said she had lost a loved one. I wouldn’t mention this, but what the Lord shared in me was profound.

The sum:
Don’t let what is inevitable, destroy your hope in any fashion. You will feel profound sadness when death visits or horrible sickness anything that the world considers tragically bad. Or you may feel careless and free when God‘s love is blazingly apparent. For the Christian, both are complete Extreme in the project of salvation.

But neither let yourself be driven to a place below the grave with your sadness and “poor little me”, nor neither let yourself be driven to a place where you are not yet; the depriving creation of the witness of Christ.

Rather live your life with complete and utter respect for the things that are absolute, inevitable, constantly approaching yet not here live your life (in the now) knowing that the pain and the joy are like quotation marks around your life, each one having a Place each one as valuable in its own right. Then you find the peace of God

Your ears say something of great value to you.

When you hear a noise behind you, that’s moving around you the sound gets louder at the same distance. Here’s what I perceive, this says to us:

Sometimes when we live our lives, Christians will be a little perplexed that they can’t perceive the words of the living God as a message to them personally. And sometimes we simply can’t shut off his very living voice. This causes a great misunderstanding. And the misunderstanding can sometimes be quite traumatic.

But I perceived this morning that when I hear our God speak to me I know that he is in me in my face in front of my ears, lacking no hindrance for me to hear what he has to say.

The conclusion I reached about this:
The Lord does not abandon his people it’s his position relative to us as a soul traveling through life. In those times I perceived he followed behind that he may learn how much we care about him. I hear him when he stops following, catches up and inhabits that place of intimacy in front of me.

The Lord will never abandon his people!
