New thoughts. New Truths

I feel like I am being shown so many new and exciting truths of late. I only hope that I am ready and absorbent enough to retain all these amazing realities. I know that God is faithful to make himself and his ways known, and to equip us and ready us to be able to assimilate all that he enlightens us with. Yet, I want to live it all...not to miss a morsel of it.

One of the major truths, that I am seeing anew, is how different God's ways are from the worlds, what we may have grown up believing 'is the way things are supposed to be.' How blind we can be to the reality of these mis-truths, how we walk in these paths without knowing we are even astray. May the Lord remove the scales from our eyes, that we may see afresh!

How simple, yet deeply complex are the ways of our Lord. How much we sleepily take into our lives, our bodies, our minds, that is the exact opposite of the life giving simplicity that he offers as the BEST!

Another blessing I am being shown is the contrast that comes from what I have accepted as teaching  my children, and being an example to them. The truth being that this thing we call teaching our children, which we often feel is exhausting, is in the deepest reality a huge opportunity to show life and growth to our children...And learn with them, and because of them. Teaching is to be a creative and natural growth process, the moments we see as 'here we go again, or I can't believe they did that, etc...' are the exact moments that God sees as a time to grow, a time for truth, a time for change. I have known this, yet have I really lived it in my heart.

In so many ways I am reminded that friendship towards the world, its rules, its ways, and thoughts, is the opposite of where I should have my feet headed. It is a trail leading me away from the true path that leads to life, freedom, love and ultimately to the BEST!

 I share, because I am blessed with a new spring in my heart.
