My Beloved Speaks to Me

While reading My words to the prophets
have you not learned that, like the Israelites,
I may take you through darkness,
into the valley,
or wilderness,
or even into captivity.
I have led people into solitude,
into fires,
and into the dens of lions.


I do not do this for amusement
but for a purpose.
To teach you,
to refine you,
to prepare you,
"so that you will know that I am God."


Do not fret or be anxious,
do not fear,
I will not let the water drown you
or the fire consume.
I will be with you.
Always.

A Love Letter to my Beloved

My Beloved-

In this season of thanksgiving and reflection, my thoughts feel muddled, leaving me feeling lost, confused, and frustrated.

Where do You want me to go?
What do You want me to do?
How would You like me to serve?
Is there ever going to be a spouse to walk along side me?
Do I quit my job in faith?
How do I find this ministry You have planned for me?
Or should I not even look for it and just wait?

Thank You, dearest Jesus, for having all of time in Your vision and under Your control. Thank You that this blip of a moment is fleeting and it will one day "fit" into the journey that You have planned for me. Thank You for the things You are teaching me and showing me, even if I may not be fully aware of it at the present. Thank You for your faithfulness and trustworthiness. Even though my life feels like it is chaos and the confusion is heavy, I know I can depend on You. You are my beacon.

I remain,
Yours.
