When our Little Ones start stretching, we feel the tightening and the pull; and when that stretching is sooner than expected, or sooner than provisions in hand – we hurt! We really hurt!
So let us pray.
Abba, we love _____ so much but we don’t like this stretching that he/she is doing right now. We don’t like the unkindness of failed responses; the pulling away with a bite instead of a kiss. It feels so wrong and we believe it is. And it’s this way, You either care or You don’t – I believe You do. You either love him/her more than we do, or You don’t – I believe You do. You will either intervene, go after and stay on him/her until they return, or You won’t – I believe You will. So we can either rest our comfort in You, or not – I am. In JESUS name I am. Thank You, Abba. Thank You.
Truth is conforming one’s words to reality. Hoehner, H.W. (1985). Ephesians. In J. F. Walvoord & R.B. Zuck(Eds.), The Bible Knowledge Commentary: an Exposition of the Scriptures (Vol.2, p. 637). Wheaton, Il: Victor Books.
Meaning; to tell the truth, I must conform the words I speak to what is real; not what I think, not what I want, not what I feel but what actually is? Yes?
Wow! How often do we tell the truth?
John 8:32King James Version (KJV) 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. source
Perhaps we tell the truth to the extent that we are free in JESUS.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
