Roughly three months ago, someone I admire a whole lot had told me that the Lords kindness doesn’t always look kind. I have tossed it back and forth in my head the last few months, contemplating the depth of what it means in my life and I am learning all the kindness the Lord holds. He is the source of my rest, my joy, my anointing, my revelation, my patience, and my passion because he is kind and that is His nature. We are firmly grounded in His consistency. He is calling each of us to live in His unchanging, everlasting love. His love never changes! The other day, my dear friend Caser mentioned to me how the Lord’s love is at full capacity ALL the time. I got to cookin’ on it and ya know what, so is His grace and kindness. The Lord calls us to live in that consistency, because his love, grace, kindness and mercy are never-ending and at full capacity all the time. That is how much He loves us. Pressing into all of the consistency that the Father has to offer us, we experience this kind of fulfillment that is like no other.
Two words that have been floating around in my head are intimacy and delight. The Lord has been showing and telling me that He delights in me. The Lord actually enjoys all of me. He continuously takes his children deeper and into a new place of existence, because He loves and enjoys us so much. This enjoyment fills me with a peace that has shown me a deeper intimacy with the Father. I am learning that my mind, soul, and body need this type of intimacy to thrive. It is something that I cannot live without and it takes faith. Your soul needs the peace that intimacy with the Father provides. I have found myself asking what my spirit or soul needs to survive.. and I have found that along with this intimacy, my soul needs adventure, challenge, laughter, to think and feel deeply. Through these things, the Lord will grow and stretch you, and take you deeper.
We ate pizza for lunch the other day 🙂
