This morning I had this very vivid dream that Marvel made a Generation X movie adaptation and filmed it in Atlanta. However, parts of it were filmed at Five Points in Birmingham. I got to go and my little daughter got to play one of the extras during this scene depicting Chinese New Year and she was one of the little urchins in the dragon parade. And I was all like, “Dammit, this was my fav X-Book when I was a kid, you will play an extra in this film, young ladee!”
THEN, I went back to sleep and had another dream in which Kitty Pryde proposed to Rachel Grey-Summers in a Julie-Andrews-Sound-of-Music mountains meadow and Kitty said to Rach: “I will work every day for the rest of our lives to make you the happiest woman on Earth if you will make me the happiest woman on Earth right now.” And Rach said: “But, I already am.” And they kissed and it was tearjerking. THEN there was the wedding and Cyclops was recording it with a doofy camcorder like a doofy Dad and when Rachel and Kitty kissed the bride(s) they fused into a giant intangible firebird and flew away on their space honeymoon.
Today, as I was doing my quiet time with The LORD, unlike the past few days, I didn't find anything to share or to write about. I was worried and prayed to God for help, but still there was nothing to write. I thought to myself, "Maybe I did something wrong, could it be that I have unknowingly exalted myself rather than God? or did I have pride in my heart after the past few days that He has been using me to send His messages?" I prayed again to The LORD and asked for forgiveness. Then He gave me this thought, "I want you. Stop doing my Job. I am The Author, not you. All you have to do is to spend time with me, experience My LOVE and My Grace. Then I will lead you. And you will write them as you have experienced. That way, people who are lead to read it, will long for Me, and come to Me, and will want the same intimate relationship with Me." After hearing this from The LORD, I was ashamed. But...
You would think I learned. But no. I was sorry, but still, my heart was stubborn and my action shows the opposite. I read His Word and continue to look for a message from The LORD. But there was nothing. Then I think The LORD told me to watch a preaching in YouTube, but again, I was stubborn and said to myself, "Nah, I just have to continue reading, and for sure the LORD will talk to me." Deep inside, somehow, I panicked and was worried. So I kept reading and trying to create something, but as I read, there was nothing. And finally after several attempts, The LORD responded to me through Mark 4:40. He said, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith? and Mark 5:36 "Don't be afraid, Just have faith." After reading this, I think The LORD whispered, "Write what happened this morning. With this, My Name will be Glorified. And so I did.
Then, The LORD told me to watch a preaching on YouTube. This time, after writing what I did this morning, and realizing how stubborn I was, I obeyed and watch one of the preaching of Pastor Robert, and The LORD lead me to this preaching. (Feel free to watch it after reading this post.)
The preaching was about surrendering your rights to the LORD. Letting Him take charge of everything in your life. So as I watched the video, The LORD spoked to me asking "Will you take off your sandals(rights) and surrender them to me? Daughter, let Me be in charge. I am The Author [Hebrews 12:2]. I see better than You.[Proverbs 15:3] I know better than You [1 John 3:20]. Rest in Me. I'll take care of you. [1 Peter 5:7]"
What is The Holy Spirit telling you today? Just like everyone else, I am not perfect [Romans 3:23]. But He assured me that though my own heart condemned me, His Grace is greater than my heart. My weakness is His strength. And His Love is stronger than any inequity. [Romans 5:8]
would you wash His feet?⠀ ⠀ The Upper Room⠀ ⠀ THE MASTER’S EXAMPLE⠀ Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under His power, and that He had come from God and was returning to God; so He got up from the meal and began to wash His disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around Him. — John 13:3-5⠀ ⠀ The basins and towels sat waiting. The foot-washing would be a remarkable experience.⠀ ⠀ Of course, for the disciples in the Upper Room, the scene must have been considerably more unsettling, but this was plenty uncomfortable. It was one thing to wash someone’s feet. It was pretty awkward to have a friend wash your feet. But when the pastor — also a friend, but still the pastor — washed your feet! And imagine having Jesus wash your feet…⠀ ⠀ Jesus washed the feet of the Twelve to give them — and us — an example to follow:⠀ ⠀ Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. — John 13:14⠀ ⠀ We will be able to follow Jesus’ example — we can volunteer more willingly for the lowliest job — when, as Jesus Himself did, we keep in mind whose we are.⠀ ⠀ As children of the King, we find our value in His love, not in what we do on this earth.⠀ ⠀ CONTINUE READING HERE: https://buff.ly/3lKQaRP⠀ ⠀ @OfficialIFCB #OfficialIFCB #WouldYou #WashHisFeet #TheUpperRoom #FromGod #Uncomfortable #Awkward #Jesus #YourLord #YourTeacher #FollowJesus #JesusExample #Volunteer #Willingly #OurValue #HisLove #Passover #Disciples #Judas #OurLord #GiveThanks #Covenant #Humanity #Sin #Forgiveness #Grace #Humble #Servant #Mission #HisLove⠀ ⠀ Share this devotion with someone who needs it today. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEuH8IjjI2k/?igshid=1qr2ohgiq4vgp
Weary with toil, i haste to my bed, The dear repose for limbs with travel tired, But then begins a journey in my head To work my mind when body’s work’s expired; ⚡️🌊💛
