HE only desires our love. As I have been at home recovering from mastectomy surgery I have had a roller coaster of emotions. I am sure we can all relate to those times when we have been praying for something and some of our friends would lovingly say, “You have to hold on” then the other half would say, “You have to let go”. You feel like screaming, which is it, hold on or let go!!! Let me tell you where I am at this moment.
When life is at a difficult place I think we sometimes forget that we are HIS responsibility. Remember when our children found themselves in conditions beyond their ability correct? Remember how your heart felt? You were very aware that child was your responsibility. Where do you think you got those caring feelings? From DADDY. As I have had time to pray and seek God for a battle plan a strange thing happened. Daily I would awaken with a picture in my mind of a small baby cradled in a huge hand with large wings covering the sleeping baby. After a lot of prayer the Holy Spirit said, “Just sleep in Daddy’s hand. You are covered by HIS sheltering, healing wings. This is MY battle, not yours.”
As I cried tears of relief because I was feeling so tired I began to hear other things in my heart. HE reminded me of many scriptures and with each HE reminded me that only believing HIM and doing exactly as HE said in each instance that the battle was won. HE sweetly woke me one night after a particularly tough day and whispered, “the enemy knows I AM known as Lord of Hosts. Soon you will know that as never before. Rest Baby Girl, I am girding up for war!”
I think whether it is a battle with cancer or troubles with family or work, HE wants us to know that HE is Man of War. That HE is the Warrior on our behalf. I know some are facing things that want to rob your peace and hope. But join me in curling up in DADDY’S strong hand trusting HIM to care for us a dearly as we care for our little ones.
Hope to see you in next Tea Room…J
