My thoughts are not your thoughts...My ways are not your ways...
Often the Lord shows me that He has my hand. Recently, I saw it again as He comforted me. Every time I read or think on this passage it reminds me of being a small child. My very small hand in His very large one. My small feet keeping in step with Him who is standing so much taller than me, watching over me thoughtfully and staying near me at the pace that He knows that I can go. He is thoughtful, caring and merciful.In the past weeks as I have been healing and waiting, Time has stopped for me. I capitalize Time because I believe that God is Time. He created it. In one of my morning devotion readings He gave me a little understanding about what He is after in His beloved Bride. How it is important to Him and so very vital to our relationship with Him that we draw near Him.
He withdrew...to a solitary place. Matthew 14:13
John Ruskin writes, "God does not write the music of our lives without a plan. Our part is to learn the tune and not be discouraged during the rests. They are not to be slurred over or omitted, nor used to destroy the melody or change the key. If we will only look up, God Himself will count the time for us.
With our eyes on Him, our next note will be full and clear.
If we sorrowfully say to ourselves, "There is no music in a rest," let us not forget that the rest is part of the making of the music. The process is often slow and painful in life, yet how patiently God works to teach us! And how long He waits for us to learn the lesson.
Come to Jesus, He knows your every need
Come to Jesus, He longs to set you free
From the burdens, that you carry on your own
Come to Jesus, He's waiting for you...
~
Lift your eyes to Him, Cry out His name
He will answer you, Don't be afraid
His arms are open wide, He'll carry you
Come to Jesus, His strength will see you through
Come to Jesus, He's waiting for you...
~
Come to Jesus, He'll meet you where you are
Come to Jesus, He'll remove your painful scars
He'll give you beauty
New HOPE and happiness
Come to Jesus, He's waiting for you...
~
He's been with you all along
He will give your night a song
And when you look into His eyes you will see
Eyes of Love...For you
Come to Jesus
