IT’S ALL RIGHT TO BE HUMAN. When your mind wanders while you
are praying, don’t be surprised or upset. Simply return your attention to
Me. Share a secret smile with Me, knowing that I understand. Rejoice
in My Love for you, which has no limits or conditions. Whisper My
Name in loving contentment, assured that I will never leave you or
forsake you. Intersperse these peaceful interludes abundantly
throughout your day. This practice will enable you to attain a quiet and
gentle spirit, which is pleasing to Me.
As you live in close contact with Me, the Light of My Presence filters
through you to bless others. Your weakness and woundedness are the
openings through which the Light of the knowledge of My Glory shines
forth. My strength and power show themselves most effective in your
weakness.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the
LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
DEUTERONOMY 31 : 6
Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and
quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
1 PETER 3 : 4
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our
hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power
is from God and not from us.
2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6 – 7
But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is
enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the
trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and
completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I
will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength
and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and
dwell) upon me!
2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 (AMP)
