When Papa Smiles - Finding Heaven in my Journal


4 August 2019

Dear Beloved:

What you are doing now – though you do not yet understand – is adding riches to your storehouse I have prepared for you. The storms you are in – the burnout, the heartbreak, the self-hatred, the battle of loss of relationship, grieving your dream of marriage, rejection of those you hold most dear, etc. – are simply opportunities to access the gifts deep within your innermost being. They are not failures nor weaknesses, but muscles that need exercising. What you are doing now for Me is not to gain something for you. Don’t obey just for the hope of getting what you want; rather, submit for the promise of heavenly treasures yet to come!

            I’m not asking you to submit to someone else or let yourself feel unworthy, hopeless, or used. I know you are angry. You told me at church this morning. Thank you for your honesty. But I didn’t lie to you. I have never led you astray. Nothing has changed – only improved! See what I am doing for you – a new thing!

            Your submission, your silence, your fasting, your prayers, your obedience, and your tears – they are not nor will they ever be wasted. Instead…

            Armies are gathered,
            Battles are won,
            Lies are destroyed,
            Demons defeated,
            Angels rejoice,
            Victory abounds,
            and Your Papa smiles upon you, Kate
                                                                        every time you surrender.
So, take it one day at a time.
You are enough. You have enough. I Am enough.

Love,
Papa

Wonderful Counselor, do you see what mess this is? Why am I so confused?

Sweet Seeker,
            It’s not as messy as you think. Seek to understand before you seek to be understood. Forgive before you are forgiven. Surrender is what pleases God, but not your anger. Let go of your anger. Abandon your wrath, and then you will see.
            God has already established his will. And He even reminded you He hasn’t changed. He did His part; now it’s yours. You do have choices. You always have a choice. What will you choose to believe? Because your actions flow from your beliefs.
            I know you’re angry; I know he has given up – but it is moreso on himself than on you. I know you feel rejected and unworthy. But you can choose to believe you are or you can choose to let those feelings and thoughts go. You can choose to believe the negative or focus on the positive. You can choose to be wild or you can choose to be wise. I know your wild side is rising as your anger is aroused. Revenge or wishing another to suffer makes you an accuser. No one needs another accuser, and neither do you. Let Wisdom lead. Choose wisely. Choose soon.

Love,
Wonderful Counselor

            You are righteous,
            so I don’t need to be “right.”
            You are peace,
            so I can breathe deeply.
            You are Hope,
            so I can smile even when it hurts.
            You are Abba – My Father
                        Eloah – My Living Water
                        Jehovah-Raah – My Shepherd
                        Hosea – My Redeemer
            You are Who and What I need in every season.
            Jesus, in my dry season be my rain, Eloah.
            Even in your silence, be my Hope.
            Make me your Delight, your Darling, your Lamb
            For, I will not let go until you bless me.

Love,
All of me
