Nugget 2.4
Maturity in Christ - no task too much in Kingdom Love and Grace
Dear Reader,
I wonder if you share this problem with me? Past problems or failures, or simply lifeless feeling, prevent me from facing the life-giving work I need to do?
But now, I never fail to be blessed by the constant relevance of the Truths filling these nuggets and speaking to me in my situation now! No - I’m not physically making a pond, and no longer really have a garden, but I am seeking to complete a task that is for the Kingdom. I need to keep praising and giving thanks which protects me from the ‘sniper’ who seeks to undermine my grace and the work I need to do.
And this is a message for all of us. God, as creator of our Being, knows that while we stay in the sympathetic nervous system (fight and flight) we cannot Love, Trust, or be ‘moved’ by His Grace and Love. We have to choose to ‘feed the hope of writing’ or whatever we are invited to do, with praise and thanksgiving - thus restoring our Peace and connection with Him in the Heart through the para-sympathetic nervous system.
I hope you too are blessed by these nuggets and re-find those ‘courage and love givers,’ praise and thanksgiving.

P.S. I am in awe my God of Your provision - and revelation of that bitterness root - and opportunity to confess and have communion….and the grace to serve at baptisms all day - then Vespers - then Q etc. Lord to You alone be glory - take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

Beloved daughter - ‘all that is in the dark will come to the Light’ - Overcoming by Love, forgiveness, repentance and trust in My love for You and the Father’s Provision. - now and for the future. Do not be afraid of memories but give glory to God for ‘setting the prisoners free’.
Amen Lord. - I open my heart door to You.

All you are reading* are leading you more fully into My life and truth within and through you. You become more subsumed as boundaries fall and become permeable and willing to be held in My Embrace and Purposes - letting go of ego and self-interest.’Let go and let God’!! Darling heart - be open and embraced in Divine Grace - Consumed in Love. (Amen)

Child I know this is hard** - so was the cross. And I fell and got up again - despised and rejected by man - the women unable (helpless) to help. You have courage and ‘strength’ in Me to persevere with the pond***. Get everything ready and don’t be afraid. Feed the hope of writing with PRAISE and THANKSGIVING for all you have been carried through - and keep leaning on Me.
** I was needing to dig out the earth to be able to sink an old bath (part of the rubbish dump in that part of the garden) to make a pond to provide for birds, toads, and the bees….but also was living with awareness that the promised shed would not be completed and made usable in the forseeable future.
*** What I did was a miracle of grace - I was given calmness, strength and perseverance to keep on digging out the soil to get the right slope on the bath - one end was shallow while the tap end was deep in the earth. By sunset the pond was lined - and filled with water - and only lighter tasks left to do. Glory to God!!

Child of God - rest in Me - Listen, praise and give thanks. You will be led more and more by grace ‘beyond understanding’ - divine worship in Spirit and Truth. Immortal daughter pray for Justice and Open-doors for My Voice through you. All will be well. All manner of things will be well. I love you My precious one.
I trust You my Lord - help overcome my lack of Trust.
Dear Readers,
I encourage you, and myself, to keep choosing to praise and give thanks when our minds get tempted to try and take charge, or even worse, focus on all the difficult or ‘impossible’ situations preventing any action at all.
These are all trauma responses indicating that there are still trauma wounds hidden in the subconscious. In Christ this is no problem - IF we open our hearts, face our pains and losses, and ask Jesus’ Love on the Cross into our wound. The Holy Spirit WILL bring healing if we repent of trying to hide the wound in shame - and instead own it. In Humility and Gentleness all is possible - for the Kingdom of Love.
Blessed healing this Lent - that more that is in the dark may come to the Light of Love.
