So, I don't know if there is anyone else out there that has read just the right scripture at the right time that ministered so completely to the spirit's need. A fresh passage. God's word spoken right to His beloved child. This was s how it was with me yesterday morning.
"And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail."
Isaiah 58:11
Wow. If only you knew how desperately my weary spirit needed to hear that.
However... to fully experience God's rest, I had to surrender what was keeping me from it.
Anger. Disappointment. Bitterness even. I had let those emotions master me for a time. I had to consciously choose to surrender all of that over to God and let forgiveness take its place. Where there once was overwhelmingly intensity... now there is peace.
