SShh…
I have spent the last month and a half learning how to build and building this web-site. Because it has been planted in my heart by God, I would not presume to do this by myself even if I had the skills which I do not. So, I have also had the privilege the last month and a half to assume what I call “The Love Position” (the love position IS side by side AND hand in hand) with God’s Holy Spirit.
As He has outfitted me with construction armor… you know, the hard hat instead of my hard head… the tools of His Word, instead of my go-to hammer, my thoughts and ways, with which I choose to see everything as the nail that needs to be pounded. He, the Holy Spirit, began to “train me up in the way I should go” wearing His love uniform and using His tools which are His ways and His thoughts.
As we began the training, I realized I didn’t REALLY know the destination (goal) of this web-site and therefore didn’t REALLY know how to pray for this journey.
Good thing I’m working with the Holy Spirit, huh…?…
(Romans 8:26-27 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.)
With the Holy Spirit’s interceding, I began to ask, “What is Your will, Lord God, for the destination, the goal of this web-site?”
And He said…
“The web-site is just a tool… I want SShh to become the destination of your heart and every heart I plant My seed of love in. I want SShh to grow to be the automatic response of your heart in your walk with Me and those I put on this path with you.
Not SShh, let’s keep secrets, but SShh, the calming song a parent sings to their child in the midst of pain, or grief, or trauma. The SShh rocking action that is made begins when love makes contact with need to the beat of the song of comfort.
(Ephesians 5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;)
I get it!! Your song… in our hearts… sung to each other Side by Side Hand in Hand!! The destination of this journey of love.
But Lord, what more shall I do?
How can I/we put the “u” in B”u”y In?
And He said…
“start by checking out The Architect…”
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
“And then by, looking at My construction plans…”
Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
“THIS is the TRUE bUy in!”
