PONDERS AND WONDERS: It has been such a long time since I took time to sit and capture all that God is up to in my life. This Sabbath Day....a good day to return to the keyboard :) This past year I have been focused on Sabbath Rest...not just taking it easy on Sunday....however entering the state of being where all things are viewed and experienced through His rest....a long year of practice and exercise, I have made progress with more to come.
However today, I want to talk abour the past couple of weeks. Recently a friend sent me this wonderful devotional....here is the snippet that has been my focus to ponder:
"This is one of our fears of quiet; if we stop and listen, we will hear this emptiness. . .But this emptiness has nothing at all to do with our value or our worth. All life has emptiness at its core; it is the quiet hollow reed through which the wind of God blows and makes the music that is our life. Without that emptiness, we are clogged and unable to give birth to music, love, and kindness." Wayne Muller
A hollow reed...as I have devoted my self to this meditation God has given me so many opportunities to witness the serious effect of clogging...I have a friend who had to have Heart ByPass this week....when the surgeon came out, he was so excited to explain that the right side of the heart had been depleted for quite a while from blood supply. He did not know if they could even find a place to bypass the clog..but they did and he said it was remarkable "As soon as the heart began to beat with the new open vessel the depleted area of the heart began to come back to life and fill out"
Funny how the key to fullness is emptiness. The more I forgive, the more forgiveness that can flow to me and from me, the more I praise the more praise that can fill and flow.....a new life of fluidity....FILL and FLOW until EMPTY....WOW what a wonderful journey....thank you Jesus for the wonderful place of hearing your wind blow.
love ya Jesus.
