Good times and bad

#25      Aug. 16, 2012, 11:03 pm

Be still, quiet, listen, be glad I have called you aside.  Be joyful that you recognize My voice.

Have you any thoughts to share with Me?  Any questions for Me?

(For me Lord it is how do I affirm you and your presence even when things aren’t going great – I am  referring to my dentist appointment when I still felt more nervous than I wanted to.  If I give my heart to you, I guess I expect an instant peaceful result, not heart racing and feeling anxious.) 

But you did get through it right?  And you did decide to affirm that I was there loving you through it all.  You can’t expect instant results as you would have them.  Maybe I allowed you to be anxious to prove that you are still ok even when anxious.  And being anxious draws you into prayer – perhaps if you were feeling peaceful you may not have prayed as much.

But thank you for giving Me praise and honor even in the midst of being anxious.  You recognized that I was still with you whereas in the past you have thought I was not there and should have helped more. 

Try not to figure the selection out, but continue to believe that I am with you always.  If you did not have highs and lows you would never get to grasp the meaning of the phrase
”I am with you always.”  I have said it to reassure you that in good times and bad I am there. You would have no use of My presence if it was always good times.

Your human condition requires knowing that I am with you always – it lifts the heart and soul to great hope.

“Do not let your heart be troubles” is another assurance of My gift of presence to you.

Stay calm in all circumstances and to be sure you learn such a lesson you will be part of circumstances in which your heart will be troubled.  Just look at all the small things that happen each day when you have to refer to My presence to see you through.

Go now, contemplate the beauty of My presence even when you don’t think I am there for you.  See it there so when times get tough you can recall My presence and be more than satisfied in My love for you.  Night, Night.  Bring Me to your soul and rest with Me there.
