Be Still, Listen, Trust, and Hope

By: Judy Sauer (View Profile)

 

My precious child, just focus on these words. Who am I? I am Yours. Be Still and Listen. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Well done, my good and faithful servant. I love you. I died for you. I want you to be happy. Go in peace my child. It’s going to be a busy day. Don’t take things personally. It’s just a jobnot how I perceive you and it’s not from which your value comes.

Love,

Jesus

 

For quite some time, God has been whispering to me write a book. Not just any book, but spiritual based books. I’ve hit many dry patches on this journey and I couldn’t figure out where my writing coach (aka God) went and I was struck with the response I received.

 

Dearest child,

Even in the silence, I am not away from you. I know you don’t like the pain, but, honey, it’s all part of your character building and growth process. I’m not trying to inflict misery. I am allowing the hardships of life to mold and shape you thoughto help you become the person you area strong, vibrant soul who has a dream. It’s all about timing my sweet child. Don’t lose hopeyet delight in knowing I hear and acknowledge this passion. I am the one who placed that dream within you.

Love,

God

 

And then there are times when God is just down right playful and poetic:

 

Sweet darling girl,

Effort is definitely not a lacking tool in your daily actionsat least for some things. Effort toward self-care still runs amuck...yet, I know this is changing. For today, go with the flowjust be yourselftry as you might, I know your intentions, to which I feel delight. Laugh strong and loud today, for your foibles are easily seenand don’t sweat the small stuff, big stuff or anything in between. Let go of the past, yet draw from its strengthyour stories of triumph over abuse and rising above adversity.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful, powerful story. I too communicate through a journal with my Everlasting Father. I truly believe that having faith in Him, He answers all of our questions and prayers. Through you, HE has given me the strength to write more throughly, this is just the beinning of a journey for me because my vocabulary is but short, my sentence structure sometimes don't make sense and sometimes the words I speak are not properly stated. Judith, I will keep you in my prayers that you and our Everlasting Father will continue in this journey. Thank you Judith for sharing. A friend through our Everlasting Father. Teresa

How AWESOME is this? Oh My!!! I'm amazed. It has to be GOD who lead me to this story of yours. In deep, overwhelming tears for the things I, myself am going through. I keep hearing the same words and I have spoken these words of encouragement to others, but for me it has not plowed it's way into the depths of my heart and soul (Until Now). The "Be Still and Listen" time that I just spent in reading your letter, I was at peace. The letter has also raked the Scales off my eyes and given me new Hope in "Those That Wait Upon the Lord Renew Strenght". Like yourself TRUST will be hard for me, with past hurts and painful memories. I know in my heart I must Let Go and Let GOD. I just wrote a letter to my children leaving them in the "Hands of God" as they has strayed from him (God). I, THANK YOU for sharing your journal with the Lord. It's given me new understanding and encouragement. If you have more inspired moments, PLEASE share w/me here or email. GOD BLESS YOU!! Kim
