In the Sunshine

 

 morning sun over the backyard

Sunshine rising.....

.....thoughts tumbling........

meditative moments reminding me of the Son rising from that dark pit to live again........

Last night, as I led the small group of ladies in our discussion, I felt an overwhelming love for them. The love of being united in Christ and the love of hearing their stories and experiences and their heart thoughts on the topic of being still and knowing God....as we journey on the lifestyle sanctification process. 

like the sun rising, my thoughts were rising towards sharing deeper things....secret things.....and the trust we all have with one another. 

If you can't share the deepest secrets of your heart with other women, we can share them with God Himself. He is always with us.  He sees our heart and knows our past, present and future. He knows what we are going to say before we say it! 

In the sun rising, I sit and contemplate some things I shared last evening.

Deep things....things that opened up wounds from my already wounded heart but that Jesus in His infinite love, mercy and grace healed so that the wound is just a tiny tear now. Time does not heal all wounds. That is so false.  Jesus heals wounds when we allow Him to. In sharing of past experiences or sharing things that challenge us emotionally, we open our selves to the Son being able to raise in us an awareness of other women and their struggles. When we share with others, it shows others that they are not alone. 

Sitting in the sun...in His Presence...is something I crave every day.

I can't imagine not sitting with a Scripture and meditating on it, giving Him my heart strings...and allowing Him to speak to me in that still, small Voice. I try to practice this daily. He wants to know us. He already does of course but He wants  us to go deeper with Him like we go deeper with the ones we trust with our secrets. 

God shines on us...let's allow Him to penetrate through to our very core..our inner heart.......as the sun shines down and penetrates through the morning clouds.
