Dearest
LiciaB...
I had to take time away from your post and allow the Lord to give me a Word for you...specifically for you.
The first scripture that comes to mind is...
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15
The entire chapter of Hebrews chapter 4 speaks of God's rest; a rest that He died for us to labour to enter into. Life has battles and you have personally drained yourself battling to hold 'life' together for not just your family and your marriage, but for others outside of it, as well as helping others with their finances. Others, outside of your immediate home which has placed a drain upon you, hubby and your children.
You have an extended heart that bleeds for the needs of others and it has drained the 'life' of you, literally. It hurts you to see others 'hurting', but now you are the one in pain and God is saying to you... "Take a rest."
This is where you will find and retrieve the healing for your Marriage and the blossom and the bloom of new love between you and your husband, who will always be, no matter what.
Take a moment and read Hebrews chapter 4, it's message is for you. It even says, that you must labour into His rest and for you, in the beginning it will be 'labour' for you are so yielded to the needs of others that you give so little to you. But you, dearest Licia you need your rest. Rest to replenish, restore, revive and re-live for your heart, body and soul.
Rest, dearest Licia.. Rest. Your Heavenly Father is whispering into your heart, to fall into His loving arms and just Rest. And 'Rest' in His arms you will.
Rest, Precious Licia, Just rest... for you've given this 'life' and those in it, your best. Now... God is calling you to rest, to believe and trust Him.
And while you are there, 'Ask what you will, and God's Will shall be 'Yes'.
Let's Pray
Father God, in the Name of Jesus,
Thank you for loving us so much that you have commanded that we come into your rest and there you will heal and provide for us and you will perfect all that concerns us.
Thank you that you have given us so much compassion that you have given us Jesus who is not 'untouched' by our feelings, our hurts, our pains. You always make things better.
Father cover your precious daughter Licia and her husband with your endless rest and love. In your arms, heal the broken areas of her heart, and allow her to see that your light and your love is upon her husband and their marriage. Remove the distractions that have been hindering their communication, and blocking your flow of strong and endless love between them. keep their love and their marriage strong. Lord, you know exactly what to do to bring healing into this family, your presence is always there.
Father God, thank you for healing her father-in-law. Thank you for giving him the treatment he needs and for giving him new life, filled with your glory, in Jesus' Name. Destroy the cells which are not healthy, replace them with new cells that are healthy and strong.
Father, we bow our hearts and place our faith in you for you alone are the one true God and there is none other we place our trust in. We love you, Father God and we thank you for all of whom you are in our lives. Our times are in your hands and what wonderful hands they are.
In Jesus' Name, Amen and Amen.
Hebrews 4 :Rose:
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Licia......... Rest :Rose:
