Nugget 2.14 (4)
A Gentle Leading to Trust, Persevere, and Let Christ Live Freely Within
Dear Reader,
Many people live with an intuitive awareness of living for a ‘greater good’, or they have a desire to live to their best. These awarenesses may, or not, coincide with a church life which gives another layer of seeking to Love with all you are, OR trying to match up with expectations. Only you and your Conscience can arrive at a loving walk between you and Who you believe in and live for.
What I want to illustrate today was a shift in the tone of the Nuggets this week. Back in 2020, I was getting more relaxed about simply doing what was needed, and trusting I would be helped to do it, (instead of judging myself constantly); but at the end of the week I was invited/instructed to do something specifically which would needed me to ‘set Christ (in me,) free.’ This required something deeper.
Maybe you have a ‘Christ crucified’ in you? I knew that the abuse I had suffered in childhood had caused ‘mini-deaths’ - at least of the soul, and they had affected my ability to persevere in anything which was not overtly understood in the world, as acceptable.
Walk with me with these Nuggets - and find how you are encouraged by these Nuggets to find more grace and Love, and risk allowing a deeper walk of faith.

Blessed lamb of God. Consider and DO - what is beautiful, good and true today. Do what is needful in the garden -planting up the flowers - watering the garden of your Heart with calligraphy, and painting - for a greater good.
Be patient child and trust Me to carry you.

Darling child, all will be well. Take one step at a time and keep praying that the Unseen Real will be with you and guiding you to complete this act of kindness. Glory to God My dear one.
(Beloved - I adore You - Jesus Christ.)
Come Holy Spirit envelop My daughter in My Hope and Truth.

Child, do not be afraid that I will leave you when you have to face potential conflict and have to seek for a need to be met which is not of your making.
Praise, trust and bless. Do not anticipate difficulties - pray for harmony. Prepare what you can. To God be the glory.

Crust!! (**). Stay with your Heart in prayer/writing for at least 5 hours today - and everyday this week. Do not fret but bring your mind back when it wanders.
Pray, pray and write to set Me free to live and Work to the glory of God. Overcoming the world, the flesh and the devil.
* At this time in 2020 the world was in the middle of the Covid epidemic, and here in England the churches were largely closed. We did open later with distancing regulations but at this time we had no physical attendance at church - hence there was time for me to spend time listening to the Holy Spirit. The following week in the journal makes it more clear how this praying/listening was to happen.
** When I was a child no-one had identified my gluten intolerance and eating bread was difficult. Eating the crusts was even more difficult as they had little to help me swallow them! I had come to refer to anything ‘hard to swallow’ as ‘crusts’. Here the Holy Spirit warns me that He is offering me a ‘Crust’!!
Dear Reader, Above all, God wanted me to learn that He was never going to abandon me, and never had. And thus I needed to allow Him into all fear of change, or sense of aloneness, with powerlessness to overcome. He needed to provide me with His Word and Spirit in order to affirm His Life and Grace alive in me.
Through the Word, and Holy Hope we overcome and grow in Grace.
Good courage and perseverance, Marina
