Not a mistake

"Come into your relationships with this understanding,
~ I have not made a mistake
     ~in making you~."
A simple tool to participate with Jesus in transforming our minds:

Take a truth, a scripture, something said that inside you responded with.. "there may be some truth to this." 

It possibly is an invitation to receive, to believe.

There is a scripture that says to believe is to grasp onto... esp. when it is so easy to dismiss that there is anything good about me, besides when I do well. 

I believe sometimes we are blocked from "doing well" in order to have to learn, to open up to, to beg for help to believe, that we are good with out it. We do not have to be blocked either, we block ourselves enough with our misbelief, our being deceived...that was never punished by they way.

But what if we do not believe? What if we find ourselves begging for help to believe? Well, we are in good company then...  

I am reminded of the story of the man who was asking Jesus to heal his son and the Father tells Jesus how bad it is for his son, and how his disciples could not drive the demon out. Then the father says to Jesus, "If you can do anything..."  Jesus replies, "If You can?" "All things are possible for the one who believes."  So, the father of the boy does what it seems Jesus wants him to... He tells Jesus dutifully, "I do believe"  In one version it says then a cry comes from his lips "Lord, Help my  UN-belief!"                                                                  Mark 9:20-26             
It is my experience that this kind of cry that the lord listens to also, harkens... for then Jesus heals his son. 

It is also interesting to note that after Jesus spoke the words that healed the son, the boy was thrown into an even greater fit, he looked even worse off, but the spirit finally left him and then he looked dead, it was whispered he was dead. Then Jesus takes up his hand and he raises to his feet. Moral here may be not to take what it looks like as what it is... don't be fooled by the outside appearances, "I am alone", "I am broke"... we are never less than four; ourself, in Jesus, who is in the Father, Holy Spirit in us.. and when you don't feel it ask for help for your unfaith.  

"Come into your relationships with this understanding... 
~I have not made a mistake 
    ~in making you~."

Come
      just you, your unique self and your hidden self, 

Into
    You do not need to avoid, come in!

Your
    
Relationships
    the ones with the people who you find yourself facing today.

With

this 

understanding...

You are enough.

I
    Creator speaking here; the triune Godship, who are only goodness. 

Have Not

Made a mistake
    Can God make mistakes? Oh, we think so don't we?  But... really? He cannot do evil.

In

Making

You
     Just you, your unique self and your hidden self

God made you just the way He wanted. He has in essence said,

 "I do not need to accept that which I have made to perfection." If I make a meal, and it turns out as I wish, do I then need to 'accept' it? 

Or do I just enjoy it? 

God enjoys you.*  

 His words, His presence within us heal us. It's amazing and it's incremental, one microscopic transformation at a time.

It is not over night it is often not lightening and thunder showers. It is real. Real healing is offered anytime we choose to take the time, to spend time, with them. Which leads to real help, tangible help in this very messy world; what we brought to the table of their creation, they have in no way rejected, but rolled up their sleeves and jumped into! Jesus showed up here saying He was not alone. 

 *Zephaniah 3:17 "The Lord your God is in your midst, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]!" 

"He will rejoice over you with joy;" 

"He will rest [in silent satisfaction, (as He sees what He has created?)]" 

"and in His love He will make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them];"

"He exults over you with singing."

Because they see what they created... what is underneath all the damage.

What is the Hiding?

The hiding is hiding my true self and trying to paint on the facade a few feet in front of me of what I think you, and God, want to see.  In the world it is worldliness, in the church it is 'good works'.  But the problem is that no matter how well I do all of that, the real me never gets loved and the real me gets very, very tired, and I become a sucker for anything in this world that looks like unconditional love, which will lead me into something that also has to be hidden, like an addiction.  I cannot show the real me, that is too vulnerable, that has been hurt too many times and I'm just not going to let that happen again, if I at all can. So I hide, I fake it, and for me, I go off and cry alone.  Because I am so very alone, even amidst all kinds of approval.  Because the approval isn't for me, it's for my actions, my 'performance' if you will. At least that is what I think.  I think my true self is a mess, but what I have not been aware of most of my C...

Lord, save my children from me

Didn't wake up sad today.  Kept wondering is this real?  Couldn't find any shame. Began asking God, "What do I think about then?  I really didn't know what to do with this." There was a beautiful sunrise that drew me outside to walk and watch it. There was little water in the field glistening back at the sun. Thought to put on a song that talked of the Father singing over me. The season I'm in right now it's being exposed all l I didn't get from earthly fathers, so this song, what my heavenly Father does give to me is part of changing the affects of those events.  On the surface I sing with the song, "I open up to you Father, I receive your love."  Okay, but the longer I do it the more upset I get.  I think things like, 'don't go there, (emotions) you're not supposed to give in to those feelings.' But my spirit then says. 'No, that's not right. I don't have to fake it to this Father, He is good and He's...

Something in me knows You’re the only one who can heal me

I was drawn to spend time with You instead of returning a phone call or spending time just watching tv with the  family. Even though I’d spent most of the Sunday cooking snacks then cleaning up after myself, and felt a little bad for doing so.  But when I got there, I thought I’d be doing one thing but didn’t “feel like it” once I’d gotten there.  I ‘felt like’ just lighting a candle, turning off all the lights and sitting there. My candle illuminated a picture of the ocean with the sun casting golden light on the whole landscape. I was drawn to just look at it, I settled back in my chair and just looked, soaking up the view.  The next thing I know I am crying because this thought just crossed my mind, that "HE looks at me like that", and enjoys looking at me, like I’m enjoying looking at the beautiful scenery.  I just can’t resist it, it erodes instantly any hardness I’ve gotten in the week. In my mind I begin to try to explain what it is like as if I am exp...
