Thank you Jesus for always revealing your light to me with every failure that I encounter. Many times my failure comes from not listening to that still small voice that is constantly being whispered in my ear. Thank you for reminding me to recognize where negative comments, criticisms, and complete disregard for others come from. When I finally stopped for a moment I heard it so clearly…”Rosanne, recognize it for what it is”. As my knees fell to the floor, as my head lowered, I felt an overwhelming presence of God in the room. I am sorry Jesus for letting things get to me, for forgetting that I should count it all as joy, for wanting to take care of everything myself, and for once again not recognizing the face of confusion and conflict. As I continued to pray I felt the Holy Spirit fall upon me and speak---it only bothers you so much because that is not what you are made of, that is not who you are, you are of me, you are my child and this world bothers you more and more because it is truly not your home. You are full of my light and this world is full of darkness from the evil one. You are a foreigner in a land of trouble. As long as you are in this world, you will not be comfortable. Thank you Jesus, thank you for loving me, for saving me, for showing me the way. Thank you that I am not like this world. Praise God that the things of this world bother me so much, thank God I am conflicted by the acts of the people that are of the world, but please always remind me to have compassion for the people that don’t know you. Out of that compassion please allow your light to shine a little brighter so that they can see you in me. Please continue to speak to me and remind me that I am to be the light in a dark place.
God is so good to me, and I am so unworthy of everything that he does for me, but I am so very grateful that he blesses me through his word!
