Journal Entry-December 13, 2012
(Normally my posts are written in a format that takes it from my personal Journal to a Nurturing Devotional for all who wish to read. Today, I Am is leading me to simply post my journal. I hope it encourages...)
You mean I have a choice? You mean I am not required to please you with my self-effort, greater levels of trying harder this time, dazzling you with my new found devotion? Come on, really? I really mean it this time Jesus! I've worked up a whole new gig for us Jesus.
It is a new season, a new resolve, a new year! What did you just whisper? I thought I heard a strangely, somewhat familiar voice? Surely it wasn't you? It was you? But, but, but... Shhhh. Don't speak. Listen.
I Am not after your resolve. I Am not interested in your desire to please Me. I never asked for those religious activities or attitudes. I Am not the One tying you up with the tyranny of time. I Am not demanding anything.
I Am after you. I only want you to join Me, My Father, and My Spirit within. We want to gently lead you into Our Unforced rhythms of Grace. You are Favored simply because we love you! Yes, really, We make the difference! Yes, really, Our Grace is sufficient! Just enter My rest and listen...
25 Abruptly Jesus broke into prayer: "Thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth. You've concealed your ways from sophisticates and know-it-alls, but spelled them out clearly to ordinary people. 26 Yes, Father, that's the way you like to work." 27 Jesus resumed talking to the people, but now tenderly. "The Father has given me all these things to do and say. This is a unique Father-Son operation, coming out of Father and Son intimacies and knowledge. No one knows the Son the way the Father does, nor the Father the way the Son does. But I'm not keeping it to myself; I'm ready to go over it line by line with anyone willing to listen. 28 "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. 29 Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. 30 Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."(The Message)
My Child, do you recall playing Tether Ball as a child? We simply desire for you to surrender to being tethered to US. Nothing less, nothing more. Allow US to hold you when you fly around daily anchored to US...
Tethered to Pure Love, Ron Ross
