Reflection #15

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."--Jeremiah 33:3The difficult way is nearly over, but you have learned in it lessons you could learn in no other way. Wrest from Me, by firm and simple trust and persistent prayer, the treasures of My kingdom. Such wonderful things are coming to you, joy, peace, assurance, security, health, happiness, laughter. Claim big things now. Nothing is too big. Satisfy the longing of My heart to give.  How awesome are the words of Jesus? He always wants what's best for us. When we think we can no longer go on, He gives us the strength to keep on keeping on. He lends us His strength, and gives us his mercy always. Something I read the other day really stuck with me... "In our darkness, we are in the womb of God." just think about that. the WOMB of God. He loves us so much he carries us with Him always. When we think we are in the deepest, darkest place, we are closer to Him than we realize.  Today I am so proud. I did 21 minutes walk which cam out to  .78 mile. almost a full mile for me. I hope to be up to a mile by next week. For now, I am pleased that I won the battle again today. I wanted to quit part way through, but just kept pushing forward and the feeling of inability left me. I declared myself a SATAN FREE ZONE!!!!! I will NOT allow the negativity to win one more minute from me.  My thoughts are with you and my prayer is always that you will persevere and NEVER surrender. Just keep swimming, swimming...my friends!!  Love, hugs and abundant blessings now and always! D
