Friday Food is just a little something to encourage you along the way. Looking for more inspiration? View the entire Friday Food series here.
Welcome to Friday Food! A little bit of food for your soul…every Friday. For the next few months we are looking at “Downloads from Heaven”. In these “downloads” we are contemplating what it would be like if we got a message from God. We will be exploring messages from God about pain and suffering and healing and other topics too. When you read these “downloads” you will notice that they are in quotes. This is to help you think from your heart NOT your head. Don’t get caught up in whether or not God, (however you understand God) actually said these things. Just let them speak to your heart. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Here is today’s download:
Sometimes, we are asked to think about God in new ways and we are asked to give up some of our old notions of God. What if God said this to you:
“You know that I Am. And you know that I cannot be put in a box and in these days I am showing you what that means. In your difficulties I am showing you that I am much more than you thought or imagined. In fact I am some things that you have been taught that I cannot be. Your willingness to see me in new and different and incomprehensible ways is good and I thank you. I love you. You are blessed. You are faithful and obedient and will find that your are healed and cleansed and made whole as you open yourself up to new ways of knowing and experiencing me.”
Today’s Download from Heaven reminds us that sometimes we have to give up some things in order to be the new thing God wants us to be. Have you ever had to give up some idea or concept about God in order to move on with your life? If so, let me know about it in the comments below.
Hi Michael…good food for thoughts. What you write makes the most sense to me when I accept that each of us lives many lifetimes and take a longer view of what God is doing in my ‘life’.
Thanks Birgitt. One of the great things about God is that God is timeless, extends beyond time and was before time. This is interesting to ponder as we think of the “long view.”
