His Lap
Is Anyone struggling today?..........From my home to yours...... I am posting this again due to the news of a friend of ours in SC husband passed on Friday. They run a wonderful natural foods and bakery in Aiken. They help anyone and everyone they meet. John passed in a treehouse that he built and designed for friends. Please pray for Rebecca and her family; it was sudden; she had been asking for prayers for just a couple weeks. God is our Great Shepherd and Great Comforter..... Keep our focus on Him Alone.....
Picture yourself as a child, crawling up on Jesus' (or your
Heavenly Father's) lap. He welcomes you, and holds you securely with one
arm–his left arm. With his right arm he is conducting all the affairs
of your life and indeed, the whole world, as a conductor would conduct
an amazing symphony.
In this picture he is also singing. With you on his lap, he is singing about how much he loves you, how delighted he is with you. He is singing, "You are my beloved son/daughter, with you I am well pleased." He tells you to rest, since he has done everything that needs to be done. All you have to do is receive all he has for you. He is bursting with joy at all the gifts he has for you..
He also rejoices in his own ability to conduct the affairs of your life and the whole world, how he will make sure everything is OK. Every atom in the universe is subject to him, and he is Love, and wisdom, and he is the mighty warrior who has conquered everything and will one day finish what he started, to make all things right and all things new.
He has already begun that work, in you. He is shining his light into all your dark places, he is working all things together for your good, he is straightening out the bent places and smoothing out the path before your feet. His life-giving light shines all the time, and it brings complete healing, peace, and right relationships with him, with yourself, and others. His life-giving light brings peace, and joy, as he fills you with his love.
Listen to him singing; feel his love and delight in you, as well
as his quiet confidence in his ability to save and to conduct the
affairs of the whole universe. From the smallest subatomic particle to
the details of your life to whatever it takes to keep the heavenly
bodies in place, he is quietly confident in his ability to take care of
anything and everything and to work it all into a beautiful harmony.*
This Blessed Me.......

This is the second time I've run across this writing this week and it blessed me as well. So often we think we have to be in control of our lives when the opposite is really the case - if we let Him control it everything seems lighter and easier. blessings, marlene
