​So Jesus responded, “I don’t teach my own ideas, but the truth revealed to me by the One who sent me. If you want to test my
teachings and discover where I received them, first be passionate to do God’s will, and then you will be able to discern if
my teachings are from the heart of God or from my own opinions. Jn 7:16-17

THE SON IN YOUR MIST

THE LIGHT OF THE SON BREAKS THROUGH THE MIST​

These are designed to be 10-15 minute meditation practices. If you don't complete the practice then good! Come back for more tomorrow and until it completes a work in your soul rhythms. Scripture Contemplation Guide: 1. Invite the Holy Spirit to speak, resonate, reveal, and renovate you. 2. Read through the Scripture passage, Journals, and Poetry writings while you take in the take in the landscape. What thoughts do these meditations provoke? What word or phrase pops of out for you as you enjoy time with Jesus? 3. Read slowly through the passages again and meditate in silence. What do you hear as you wait in God's presence? 4. Pray conversationally through the scripture to your good Father. Ask Him questions, tell Him about the things you are wrestling with in the passage. Cast your cares on Jesus, be candid, thorough, authentic, and most of all be you. 5. Now thank the Lord for the work He is doing in you and then come back for more as needed!

Little boy sitting alone in the dark wondering why you don't fit in. fits of tears and disturbing thoughts. voices telling you you'll never amount to anything. Fighting every impulse to run away into the darkness. there is an enemy out for your soul, he's out to take your courage and the passion in your soul. To take away the purpose written in your very bones. Words on paper and song in the air. You words tearing holes through the enemies well laid plans. Words on paper tearing emotional walls down. Words releasing light into the Darkness. Calling others home from their Prodigal lands.

Little boy sitting in the dark. listening to the music, absorbing the words, letting them steep. playing over and over till the dopamine is gone and the words go numb but that feeling of the first time will never get old. When the words come to mind and the sentences flow and the fire inside burns and grows. Like the Sun's burning fire the torch of the spirit fires through all the lies. Burning out the doubts the rumors and the lies. Giving power to the words and set upon them a mission, a work. To which the little boy won't soon begin to know.

Fearfully sharing those first few words and the paragraphs and pages and then the volumes grow. Word by word with trials and victories through disappointment, faith, and some humbling times. Learning to listen to that still little voice whispering the words through distractions and choices.  Stopping to put that pen to paper, sometime so deep the tears are held back like a dammed up river till the last word is read. Sometimes the tears blur the ink as the emotions rage through the lines on the page. The smear of ink on a lefty's hand. While the pen can't keep up with the writers demands. Get those words down and onto the page! Don't dare let it fester Don't dare let it rage! Write it all down and don't miss a letter. get it all down before the world takes its toll pulling and pushing for mortal control....

Little boy, little boy, sitting alone in the dark. Don't listen to the lies for you are set apart. Through brokenness and empathy, through knowledge and with wit and through all the many tear. Your are being fashioned. You are being forged. You are being tuned to the master's perfect chord. When the time is right and when you are all grown you will look back and see the many seeds you've sown. The choices that you made the kindness in your heart. The giving of your gifts to any needy heart. Some they took advantage and some they broke your heart but in the Lord's great timing all is working for God's Glory and touching his great heart.

Will you see the (SON) shine in you mist, brokenness, and shame today?

Luke 1:78-79.
The splendor-light of heaven’s glorious sunrise
is about to break upon us in holy visitation,
all because the merciful heart of our God is so very tender.
The word from heaven will come to us
with dazzling light to shine upon those
who live in darkness, near death’s dark shadow.
And he will illuminate the path that leads to the way of peace.”
Start a conversation with Jesus as you pray conversationally through the scriptures above.
