Reflection and Being

River of LIfe flowing from the throne into my heart garden

For those of you who have been following my blog, thank you.

I have taken a few months off for personal reasons. You know, life just gets in the way, and new possibilities come and must be explored. Here are some thoughts.

Exploration in a person's life is a deeply personal experience. Reflection and being honest are vital to understanding who you are. Asking questions and seeking answers are all valid. I believe that each person would benefit from taking some time to reflect on who they are in Christ Jesus and focusing on their purpose within their identity.

God created each of us for a purpose. Some may be to help or support others. Some may be to lead or co-lead. Some may be creative, and some may be in business. It really doesn't matter, except that we should be aware of how and where we fit in.

I know that Father would like us to rest in Him as we live out our purpose. And, that purpose may need to change for our benefit, and Father will direct our path in that.

We can sometimes get in a rut and then get stuck with "doing" what we've always done. For myself, I have been in that rut and stuck. This is when I needed to stop what I was "doing" and step away for a higher perspective. Being honest with ourselves can be a challenging task. To want to change to something better, we really need to be honest about what we desire the change or thing to be.

Taking time to reflect and be silent is a great way to get a better perspective. Making time to be still and not striving. Breathing deeply and giving your body time to thrive with oxygen. When we take the time to stop and just be who we are, who Father created us to be, our focus is not on ourselves. Thoughts just go by as we sit quietly, not engaging. Our body then begins to relax, and the clarity of mind gently comes.

Father, through the Holy Spirit and his angels, calls to us to come and rest. To be who He created us to be. The world would like us to be something else. Our response to that is to sit with the Trinity, quiet, breathing them in and out. Being still and intimately knowing who God (the Trinity) is.

The bells ring out

A blue light

A call, once again

Come to Me

All who are weary

All who are heavy laden

Seek My rest

All that you need

I have for you

Just ask

Deep within the earth

A rumbling of awakening

Listen, be aware

Awakening is here

No more slumbering

Get up, get ready

Seek My rest

Peace, My shalom abounds

My love is flowing

Some are confused

They've never felt the Light

Love is only a word

Yet, Love is stronger

More powerful

For healing

Seek My rest

Allow Me to do the work

I work from the inside out

Changing and restoring

As Refiner's fire moves

It reworks our character

Refining and aligning

Seek My rest

As the River of Life

Flows from My throne

Into the earth - Rest

Breathe in My glory

Allow it to transform you

As you seek My rest
