Learning How to Walk Towards Him... A Child's Journey Away From Fear....

How did this love affair start? How do I lay out a path that others can walk upon towards a Father's heart so huge and full? While paths have as many varieties as there are persons... I do believe there are some commonalities that can assist within the journey of stepping into dancing with the Father and His affections...

I remember so many things at this moment...

From the moment when at a meeting Jesus stood before me removing a veil and saying to me I want to introduce you to Someone... And there was a slight glimpse of Father... barely could I look... barely could I receive...

I remember the first time I saw a house (in the spirit) which I knew was Father's house and I stood at the gate and couldn't even venture up the path to the door... but I stood at the gate and One walked out of the door and so gently and kindly approached but even at His approach I shuttered and lowered my head and could not look up....

I remember being wooed by kindness... and courted by gentleness ... persuaded by patience... enticed by sweetness... and won over by a determined, focused, persistent affection that never wavered ... was always steady and resolute that I would become the daughter He always saw me as being.. He unyielding relentless actions towards me to heal me and grant me eyes to see and ears to hear and a heart that could receive have utterly revolutionized all that I am.....

I remember His words over my life when upon life I was able to receive them ... when I heard Him whisper my name... and I heard Him whisper I was His... and I heard Him whisper into the depths of my being I was loved... and I heard Him whisper into my heart the word daughter... It was a whisper into my being and a shout into the air..... I belonged to Him... I bear His image... His likeness... Orphan no longer... Fathered all too well...........................

So here... here is where I state the first steps.... that moved me beyond overlaying upon Him my life and my view of father... that moved me beyond a cowering fearful captive to a daughter standing bold and beautiful and full of grace and joy smiling at the face of Father...

I let Him love me... I let Him heal me... I let Him touch places so full of horror and pain ... I let Him wash my eyes and remove lens that hindered me... I let Him love me... I let Him love me... I laid down pride... prejudice... fear... judgment.... and I learned to pick up grace... mercy... love... tenderness..... forgiveness... joy and delight....

Pick up delight... pick up delight.... pick up delight... pick up delight... pick up delight... He delights over you.. sings... beckons... dances.... holds... embraces.... all of you.... breath Him in .. and pick up delight

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
