I have finally, in the last two or three years, been able to rest in the all-knowing, all-loving wisdom of God, and allow myself to slow down and listen and not over-react, knowing that sooner or later he will show me the way.
And this week he has done it again, in grand style! There have been three areas of my life where I have groaned before him wanting a light to go on. And what he has brought to my attention speaks powerfully to all three. How neat is that!
I have been soaking myself in free mp3 downloads of the teaching by Mark Stibbe on Healing the Orphan Heart. Can I recommend it to you? They are at www.saltlight.org/europe/resources/speaker/mark-stibbe(get the first 4 on the list) and also www.kingsgateuk.com and look for his messages - Receiving the Robe and the Ring, and From Slavery to Sonship. You can also buy his books and CDs on his website www.fathershousetrust.com
He quotes a wonderful revised version of the 23rd Psalm.
The Lord is my Abba, Daddy,
Therefore I am never in need.
He makes me rest in green meadows
And leads me beside peaceful, refreshing streams.
He always holds my hand and guides me along the right paths, bringing honour to his name.
Even when I have to walk in the dark valley of death,
My Abba Daddy is close beside me, so I am not afraid.
When my enemies are close he puts on a feast for me!
And he welcomes me as a special guest, anointing my head with oil and many kisses!
My life overflows with his generous blessings.
I know for sure that Abba Daddy's goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and one day I will live in his house forever.
What a Father!
