Are your worst enemies the voices in your head?
Do you have scars that haunt you?
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” … Psalms 23:5
What keeps you from Loving others like He first Loved you?
The enemy of a being who seeks God is anything that keeps that being from Loving others. God is Love and as you move nearer to God He wants to deal with those things inside you that keep you from Loving.
Have a meal with God and share with Him the things that are causing you to not Love. He already knows what they are but He wants to know that you will trust Him and be honest with yourself.
This is a great opportunity to learn trust. He will anoint your head which will keep you safe and because of your trust you will have blessings you never thought possible. Remember a blessing may come as another opportunity to Love someone.
Here is a meditation for you. In a time and at a place where you probably wont be disturbed but if you are God allowed it. Take several deep breaths, letting go of stress a little bit more with each deep breath out. As you do this begin to get a picture of God finishing preparation on a huge banquet table for you and many others. Begin the banquet and see the things that cause you to not Love coming to the table where you and God are at- here comes pain from that time you were hurt, or here comes Love for money more that anything else, you name them and keep them coming. Don’t worry God is beside you checking the guest off the list. As you get this picture do this:
Breathe in and say:
“God ____________ ”
Breathe out and say:
“kept me from Love”
Breathe in and say:
“God grant me peace”
Breathe out and say:
“about ___________”
Practice this until you have a sense of peace about the things keeping you from God.
Don’t Worry- Be Grace-Full!!
