Diligence

WELL....
Heather is still on the floor.
Now, I have a new edition: Faith on the couch alongside her with the Flu.

I am feeling like the Lord wants me home...for longer periods of time than I have been.
Could it be that He is serious about this intercession stuff??? HMMMM?????

I received a wonderful encouragement from a lovely person in my life who has this gift of intercession and is doing her utmost to keep me focused and practicing. What preciousness!!! I think her nickname is Diligence. Something else I need to be practicing.

Diligence is defined in the Bible as:
1) haste, with haste
2) earnestness,

a) earnestness in accomplishing, promoting, or striving after anything
b) to give all diligence, interest one's self most earnestly


I love that the Lord is not above using anything in my life to keep my eyes and heart fixed upon Him. He knows that my mind is not what it could be...or should be. But He's not afraid to make it all that it can be for His good purposes.

So, I get to minister to both my girls in one place at one time. God is sooo good to me. On my knees before Him is where I want to linger.

Sweetness.

Dear Sister,
The 'agony' of prayer is what He went through in Gethsamane! It pleases Him the most when 'no one' sees what we do for Him. The secret of our 'sucess'in our 'public' life lies in the secret of our 'private' lives (Matthew 6:6).
" May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love and joy of God's Presence and may not a moment without the entire surrender of my self as a vessel for Him to fill full of His Spirit and of His Love. "
