The Door of Trust

Thursday morning, 03/27/08 Dear S.,
Set apart this day unto Me. Do no customary work.

Seek the LORD while He may be found . (Isaiah 55: 69) This is the part you are to do. I will do the rest.
Love,
God

Dear LORD,
Can I do the Bible study for tonight? Can I write the evangelism message for the mission trip to Mexico, and translate it into Spanish? Is this part of seeking You today? OH HELP!
My husband just gave me a “honey do” list!
Love,
S.

Sunday morning, 03/30/08
Dear S.,
When you look in a mirror, you see everything backwards. Look out. Keep your eyes off of yourself. Look at Me.
Love,
God

Dear LORD,
I so need to listen to Your voice! Come dwell in me, and I in You! Love S.

Dear S., I AM. Dear LORD,
Whats still holding me back, away from You? Love,
S.

Dear S.,
Its fear; fear of losing your sanity. Love,
God

Dear LORD,
I cant go on apart from You, lost in my own mind. Please take my mind, my sanity, and give to me the mind of Christ.
Love,
S.

Friday morning, 04/11/08 Dear LORD,
Why cant I feel You?
Love,
S.

Dear S.,
The season is winter. Abide in Me. Rest in Me. As a branch waits for Spring, wait for Me. I am getting you ready to produce much fruit.
Love,
God

Wednesday morning, 04/16/08 Dear LORD,
Today, I read in Your Word:
“I will guide you with My eye”.
Thank You LORD!
Thursday morning, 05/08/08

Dear S., dos lomas Love,
God

Dear LORD, What?
S.

Dear S., dos lomas Love,
God

Dear LORD, My sister called, and told me that her cancer had come back. My hands are shaking as I place her into Yours. My voice is breaking as I speak the words that Peter spoke to You:

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6: 68) Love,
S.
Friday afternoon, 05/09/08

Saturday morning, 05/10/08
Dear LORD,
I read in Your Word:

I will lift up my eyes to the hills –
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
(Psalm 121: 1-2)

I understand now.
Dos lomas, two hills, loom up before me. My mother and sister are approaching death. Please find Your way into their hearts. Climb the hills of their defenses. Release them from the prison of doubt, and bring them safely home.
Dear S.,
Before you knew Me, you wrote these lyrics to a song you called “Alone in the Rain”:

So you roam from place to place,
In search of something beautiful
To take away the weight
Of the emptiness you feel;

And in the early morning
When the sun is still asleep,
You walk slowly like a shadow
In the mist.

And quiet tears fall
Like raindrops on the sand,
While the waves erase the footsteps
Behind you.

And far away you hear
The rhythm of a train,
And you wish that you were on it
But whats the use?

„Cause you know that if you were
You would have no place to go
And nobody would even know
Your name
.

You know where they live. You once lived there too. Go there, to that place with them. Sit with them, as Ezekiel sat with the captives. Show them the Gospel, as you show it in Mexico, with colored beads that represent each part. Show them the cut off piece of string. This was your life before Me. Tell them the truth, bead by bead. Tell them that your name and theirs are inscribed where the nails pierced My hands.

Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.

Love,

 

God

Dear LORD, Thank You for breaking down the stronghold of my mothers resistance to the Gospel. You moved me to pray with all my heart, before I started to speak this time. She said that she had been meaning to get into a Bible study. Where did that come from? It really does only take faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain. (Matthew 17:20b) (Isaiah 49: 16a)

later that evening

Monday morning, 05/12/08 Dear LORD,
Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. Under Your yoke, I can truly dance! Love,
S.

Dear S.,
Do what is possible, and trust Me with the impossible. Love,
God

Wednesday morning, 05/14/08
Dear LORD,
I will tell them what You showed me in Your Word:

For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isaiah 55: 8-9)

I will tell them:

The mind of God contains my mind, and yours, and the mind of everyone who is alive now, who ever has lived before, and whoever will live; and His capacity for thought is not diminished. His wisdom is infinite.

The palm of Gods hand contains every circumstance in my life, and in yours; every solution to every problem in the past, present and future; every circumstance in every life that has ever been, or will be; and His capacity to do more is not diminished. His power is infinite.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
Measured heaven with a span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?
(Isaiah 40: 12)
The heart of God contains my heart and yours; has cried every tear, sung every

song, and loved more deeply than you or I, or anyone at any time; and His capacity to love is not diminished.
His love never ends.

The word of God is the expression of His wisdom, His power, and His unfailing love. He keeps His promises.
For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there, But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower, And bread to the eater,
So shall My word that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
(Isaiah 55: 10-11) Thank You, LORD, for Your Word.
S.

Sunday evening, 05/18/08
Dear LORD,
Its making sense now, beneath the level of seeing, in the level of knowing. Everything, that my daughters are going through, that my mother and sister are going through, and that my husband is going through, is their path to You. It is just as You told me. Thank You for showing me at depth.
Love,
