What an awesome blessing it is to be loved by the LORD, to be known by the LORD, to be held by the LORD, to be washed by the LORD.
I was worshiping my Father at the edge of the throne, knowing that I was not worthy to be in His presence. I think evil thoughts, I get angry with people. I get frustrated. I have hurt people. I am unworthy. But I thought upon His goodness. I sang to Him a song: “Covenant-Keeping God.” I sang to Him “Unchangeable God.” I relished His power, His Creation and His awesomeness. And then I saw …
I began to walk. I looked to my left: to the throne of my Husband, the One I said Yes to, many years ago, my Lord and my covering. He stood and came to me. He held my hand and we began to walk towards the Holy of Holies. I saw the black dogs barking on leash. But they could not get to me. I hid behind my Lord. I heard the accusations come forward: “she is not worthy.” My Husband kept moving, with a smile on His Face. He still held my hand and I still held His. All I could think was “Thank You Jesus.” Everything was white here. Perfect. I did not even feel the same. The power of righteousness and holiness was so strong. We had arrived before the Father. We all were on our knees.
And then I fell at His Feet. I had arrived. Husband had brought me and took His seat. I just lay there. To lie at the Feet of my Father. To finally get here. Nothing else mattered. No burdens to bear. I just rested at the Feet. The magnificent Feet of Father. Oh the kindness of His smile, the warmth of His love. He called on an angel “wash the feet of my Daughter.” To another, “wash the head of my Princess.” To another, “Bathe her and lotion her body with perfumed lotion. Put on her a turquoise royal robe, and give Her her gold jewelry. ” Then, I sat beside Him to gaze upon His work. He instructed His soldiers on what regions to go to and who to fight or rescue. He instructed His angels to deliver babies: of humans and animals. He laughed watching the praises of His people. The Master President and CEO, the Chief and Head of Logistics. He did not need to think. He knew it all. He instructed like an opera conductor. Focused on His work and yet light hearted. He yet had room to pour out love and hospitality to me, His guest.
What better place to be than in the presence of Father. How can I stay here in my spirit every second of every day, that His peace can keep me flowing and His love can flow out of me richly into those around me on earth. That when they hurt me, I can smile and with all my heart say “you’re forgiven. You don’t know better.”
Oh Lord, keep me here. Help me stay that I may fear no more, that I may weep no more, that I may be burdened no more, that I may love it strength, that I may speak in power, that I may sleep and rest.
You are mine… and I am yours. And I will never want more than You, dear Shepherd. I love, cherish and adore You, in the name of my Precious Husband, Jesus. Amen!!
