FREEDOM

Why is it that even with our closest friends, family, and sometimes even our FATHER that we place ourselves in some sort of bubble, and act as if we don't hurt,contain fear, or need others. Regardless of where you are maybe it is infertility or cancer or job change, I don't know, but I do know that God wants to hear from you even when your words to Him are not always pretty. I do know that when we choose our friends with the same criteria that Jesus chose His friends that they can be a provision from Him to offer comfort, hope, and peace. Yet, and still, we walk around with a deeply devestated heart that is broken, and we miss the point that we need to let it all out. On the night before Jesus was cruxified He sat down with His closest friends and prayed, I am sure there was a feeling of dread over what had to take place the following day, but He did let it all out so to speak. Where two or more are gathered, He is there~ not only when we release our troubles and fears does it help us, but it can also help others. Jesus is Jehovah Jireh ( the God who Provides) and El Roi ( the God who sees) He knows what we need to hear when we need to hear it, He knows just the thing that we will find rest and comfort in whether it is a scripture, a friend ,or in my case something as small as a bluebird. Since He created you He fully understands and expects that sometimes when you are releasing your burdens that your words will not always be poetic before Him. He then picks you up right where you are.He is the true source of rest for weary souls. Make sure that no matter your journey, that you are not walking around in some bubble fog "pretending" to have everything under control. Cry out to your Father the only one that can truly bring peace and comfort to you~ remember that we can release our burdens also by sharing with our friends just as Jesus did. Every single person on Earth needs to have one person that they can go to and just let it all out, and really get real and pray together. I pray that this week, that you will realize that there is no "pretending" with Jesus~ He knows and understands your innermost thoughts and fears. LET IT ALL OUT!!! THIS PRODUCES FREEDOM like no other!!

God's glory always~
