My heart is full but also heavy. It is full of the love I have for my sisters but also heavy from that fullness. I think of my own personal and professional struggles and it saddens my heart to know that there are many other women who have the same conflicts. I had a conversation recently with a friend of mine who was having emotional struggles with God and decided (that word was chosen for a reason) to dip back into some of the things he used to participate in before surrendering his life to the LORD. I told him that his pain should have pushed him further in to Christ instead of away from Christ. Ladies, how often do we find ourselves going in the opposite direction of salvation? How many times do we chose wrong instead of right? This is not to condemn anyone (I run in the wrong direction too); this message is to let you know that God wants you to draw near to His dwelling place. God's dwelling is where God resides, where God's kingdom is for those who chose to enter and remain.
As I contemplate many paths to take, I reminded of the Gospel of John. In Chapter 15, Jesus tells His followers to Abide in Him. That means to remain and live in Him. He will do the same and remain and live inside of them. We are tempted to find our peace, our treasure, our safety, our fame in everyone and everything else but the only true home is with God. God cares for all of us especially us Daughters. Choose to run into the arms of the Everlasting One...always.
Love to you,
Aurellia
