Some time after I sent out yesterday’s email, the Holy Spirit began speaking to me about the tremendous spiritual blessings He has for Ann and me when I listen to His leading to love Ann. As I obey His leading to love Ann the way He leads me to, not only does it bless Ann and make her more secure in my love for her, it also blesses me.
Any time we’re willing to obey God’s voice in our lives, we reap precious spiritual blessings.
By loving Ann, God was speaking His love to me as well. He began telling me, again, that learning to love Ann more would calm me down and help me to rest more in what God is doing in my life. Loving Ann would enable me to trust God more and remove more strife and destructive strongholds from me. He showed me that He would provide for us in ways we couldn’t do for ourselves – When he tells us this, it really relaxes us and assures us that He’s in control of our times and lives. His love for us builds and strengthens our faith in Him.
This time with the Holy Spirit continued throughout the day and was really wonderful. I love it when He interrupts my routines to bring me/us more of His merciful, tender, gentle, gracious, and peaceful love and understanding about how life in Christ should and can be.
Such an all-caring God we serve. His boundless love just keeps coming growing deeper and deeper and adding His supernatural rest to our spirits, minds, bodies, and emotions.
God bless,
Mark
