Meditation Musing~No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus

 

 

River of life

 

 

John 15:1

Beloved Mortal

Scribe: DiVoran

Are you still trying to please other people? It’s all right if you’re taking into account their problems, trials, and tribulations and helping where I say to help. If measuring up to their expectations, however, is your major goal, I have a surprise for you!

Here it is; I didn’t put you on this earth to succeed at anything except hanging out with me. I will show you how to be what I have called you to be. That is the thing that will make you happy and of course, I am always happy because of my many children.

Some folks will love you, some will merely hold you in esteem, and some –believe it or not – will find you a pain in the neck. Love them all and think of them as my children, too. Get along with them the best you can. You will experience much joy, but you may sometimes be hurt or frustrated too. Never mind, be kind, pray, and let me love others through you.

Forgive them, forgive yourself. It will always be you and me –straight into eternity. I love you. Thanks for loving me back.

Galatians 1:10

”No one ever cared for me like Jesus”

Meditation Musing~Stars

Three Buntings
Beloved,

I place you in peoples lives when you need them and they need you.

Few relationships, no matter how intense at the beginning, last the rest of your life as many marriages and real friends do.

When your world meshes with someone else’s and the work I had in mind gets accomplished, the relationship can go into storage for years or perhaps forever.

This is especially true of the children and young people you know. My wisdom through you may be needed in the forming of certain stages of their character but you will not always be responsible for them, and they do not need to thank you forever. No one can completely fulfill you except Me. Each time you sincerely let go of a person, you get a diamond star of peace and satisfaction for your crown.

The important thing is to see others fully capable of making their own good decisions. One decision, for them and for you, and the most important one, is to love Me and commune with Me.

Meditation Musing~Ember

Embers

 

Beloved,

Do you know what I am asking of you? I am asking you to be a loving person, compassionate and humble, even to yourself. Let me helpand your days will be filled with the peace that passes understanding. Don’t think you always know best. Your thoughts are not my thoughts, nor are your ways my ways. Don’t think your main job is to criticize and correct others. Give them some space. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by deciding you’re entitled to anything on this earth. When you feel sorry for yourself, it blocks others from feeling empathy for you. Let love be an ember in you that never goes out. Warm yourself on it and allow others to warm themselves too without judgement or censure.

Meditation Musing~There is a River

My dear student,
You ask me why you sometimes feel you do not measure up. You read the Bible and you love it, but so often you come across “convicting” passages that tell you how much more and how much better you could be doing. It feels to you as if you have spent your life reaching for acceptance. Sometimes in the Christian community you are urged to win more souls, do more for others, give more, and love more. You know that no matter how you pray, work, or try, there will always be sins of omission.

I have a few questions for you to think about.

  1. Why do you want so much to please other people?
  2. Why do you want to follow every rule and law that comes along?
  3. Are you afraid of that part of yourself that wants its own way?
  4. Are you afraid that if you aren’t good enough, you’ll hurt people or miss helping them?
  5. Are you afraid troubles will come upon you that will overwhelm you?
  6. Are you afraid that when you really need me I won’t be there for you because you haven’t been good enough?

You might have to answer yes to all those questions, but there is one thing I want you to know and I will lodge that knowing in you because I am the healer and I want to heal you.

You are good enough.

In more “spiritual” terms: … if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are made new. You are in Christ. You are a new creation. The Bible is full of passages where I say good things to and about you.

Here’s one of your favorites: “Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD listened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought on his name.” Malachi 3:16
