The Need to Be

The last 2 days the thought process of the need to be seen and the need to be heard has been at the Forefront.

The need to be seen and heard was very important.  (While writing this, the Holy Spirit showed me that this need began in my very early years, even as early as the high chair.)  It started with the neglect and abandonment that I felt from my parents.  This is something that has been important my whole life. When I got into the Ministry outside of the church it really got exposed several different times. And I dealt with it and then it’s slowly crept back in.. For so long I looked the other way.

There is so much peace being involved with Jesus and nothing else. No church, no Ministries, no nothing. Just me and Jesus. There is a peace there that only Jesus can explain. Just like being on the deserted island all by myself. Me and the trinity. Don’t misunderstand me Community is important it’s just not for me right now.  I do have men that I meet with that is my church, my community.

I am so grateful for my morning times on the couch. No music, no watching a preacher,  just sitting and being quiet and meditating on who I am in Jesus, being at peace and focusing on seeing myself the way God sees me. Sometimes that is not so easy.

Philippians 4.7 And in this place of worship and gratitude you will witness how the peace of God within you echoes the awareness of your oneness in Christ Jesus beyond the reach of any thought that could possibly unsettle you. (uperecho) Just like the 1sentry guard secures a city, watching out in advance for the first signs of any possible threat, your hearts deepest feelings and the tranquility of your thoughts are fully guarded there. (This peace is not measured by external circumstances, it is residing deeply in the innermost parts of your being. We are not talking about a fragile sense of peace that can easily be disturbed; one that we have to fabricate ourselves; this is God’s peace; the peace that God himself enjoys!)

Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
