The Lesson of the Comfortable Bed

#451  Fri. Nov. 20, 2015, at home, 6:15am

Morning comes and we hesitate to greet it because the bed feels too comfortable.

Whenever  I call, let it be.  Let it be Me inviting you to come closer to Me.

I do not come to disturb, I come to welcome and invite.

My Presence in your life should not be seen as a disturbance or interruption but rather as a calling, a calling to share more of Me with you.

Our physical comfort seems at times to want to dominate our spiritual comfort.

I ask you to make Me, let Me be in charge.

You see, we offer our surrender prayer then hold back when we don’t really want to surrender our comfortable bed for the starting day.

It is a great example to each of us about surrendering.

Are we willing to surrender only when it does not interfere with our physical comfort?

I do not ask this as a mean question.  Yet it can further reveal to you, to anyone reading this, that our surrender to God has to be uppermost.  It must not have any conditions attached.

Do you see what I mean?  This has been a great example.

How many of you decide what time you are going to get up in the morning, yet if you wake earlier and I call, do you tell Me, even just by your actions that this part of your life you have not surrendered to Me yet.

Please, please I do not ask a mean question.  I ask a discerning question.

If you wish to draw closer to me consider what you still don’t want to surrender to Me. 

Think about it.  Really think about it.  Ask Me to point out to you what you still should consider surrendering to Me.

I know what parts and pieces you still hold dear and under your control.  You do not do this to be mean, yet you do it almost unconsciously.

Let Me help you to make conscious decisions in your life that will draw you closer and closer to Me.

“Lord, I surrender myself to You this day.”  “Lord help me to surrender myself to You this day.”

Do you see which prayer will have more strength and endurance?

Again, without My Help you can do nothing significant for the good of your soul.

So you can say “I surrender myself and my day to You, Lord.” And I accept this surrender.

But now say “Lord, help me to surrender myself and my day to You.”

Do you see the deeper surrender in the second prayer?  You know in this prayer that your surrender will be more complete because you are relying totally on My Leadership in your life this day.

Sometimes when we have to ask for help we feel it indicates that we aren’t strong enough to do it ourselves.

Rest assured that you have found Great Wisdom when you realize you can’t do it yourself!

What a great revelation.  What simple yet profound Wisdom.

“Lord, help me to surrender myself and my day to You.”

Now let Me Help you, Guide you, Love you through this day.  Let Me Lead you to peace and harmony.  Let Me lift every burden because you have asked Me to, given Me permission to.

I say to you not Go in Peace, but rather Come with Me in Peace.  Walk with Me this day in Peace.
