Nugget 2.19 (5)
An invitation to trust God's hidden work of grace amid suffering and opposition, through faithful discipleship.
Dear Reader,
Starting afresh each day is only possible if we trust in God’s Love and Provision, and even that is an act of Love, for ourselves and others. Circumstances may pile up around us making our hopes and plans ‘fall like mountains’ as one of the psalms says.
The nuggets this week are addressing exactly that sort of situation when opposition was obvious, though the grace of God does not ‘store up grievances’ and I now remember no details.
Come and join me in finding God’s way to deal with such a trial. This included giving me a lesson to ‘keep on’ dealing with the ‘institutional block’ of what seem like permanently hardened hearts.

‘Your agony, is My agony - My Life and Love and Grace in you, denied by this place. Father forgive them they know not what they do. Lord have mercy.
Father, send your Holy Spirit on your servant to provide for her needs today - to bless and uphold the needy and to fulfil the work of today - and speak the Truth in Love. Amen

Oh My Beloved Child, I hold your tears, and your longing for Me and My Life like precious jewels in My heart/hand. You are precious to Me.- Father forgive them they know not what they do.
(Lord extend my boundaries - that You may be with me.*)
Whether the Archbishop responds or not - prepare this contact with Fr J.R. and be content.
( While praying, with tears, after this Word, …I heard, ‘Harsh reality - disbelief in the sanctity of women’ …. Then ‘Nothing more to say at present.’)
*Part of the Jabez Prayer in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

Let go of all expectation - and let My Word and promises hold and guide you. You are Mine, and I yours. You are in uncharted waters but trust in the Father and My hand. Amen
Go - eat and work before A arrives. I love you - As you open your heart to embrace the saints - your family and Heart grows. Amen

Justice child of God, is hidden in Christ, in God. Turn to Me - seek the hidden heart through prayer and blessing, and interceding for those who are hard-hearted against you.
Warn those who are going astray from My Gospel and Love; stand in My Grace child, and ask the Father to create opportunities.

My Precious Lamb: you are Mine - do not be afraid of ANYTHING but losing My Name from your lips and heart…
(Oh Jesus - have mercy on me - make me clean and holy in Your Sight..)
Child - be still - trust - keep inviting Me into all fear and self-doubt - Stand and yet Stand - Remember that in your weakness - is My Strength - grace and Truth. I AM Lord of All.
(Thank you Lord - Thank You for carrying me.)
Dear Reader,
I needed to re-learn, that maturity in Christ, in Life, is not about having everything easy!!
Even though we appear to be seeking for God’s way, the context in which we are working may not believe in God’s provision in us, or have the same flexibility, love or vision in their hearts.
And yet we are given grace to navigate these intransigencies, not least by ‘long=suffering’ and ‘blessing our enemies’. These practices keep our hearts soft, and actually bring us to compassion for these people, who do not have the Cross of Christ as their guide, nor the Resurrection as their Hope.
