It seems I am going forward in the natural, but younger in the Spirit. Think of the child "in mothers"womb. Now think of yourself in Christ. I lived in warm water close to mother's heart for nine months. I lived. I grew from something so small it wasn't visible to the naked eye. Life enclosed, safe, warm, created in love and pleasure.
I am now as I receive Christ, put back in a womb-like place. I start out knowing very little about Him who have and sustains my life. What does the baby in the womb give the mother who carries the babe? I wonder, does the baby in her womb know the joy and love the baby gives just by being there? The baby rests, unknowingly fed from the mother's body. It does nothing to appease her, and yet she is appeased. Become as a little child, Jesus said. Trust me.
Everything is provided. Everything I need. The only work God requires of me is to believe. What a provocative meditation! Unending.
Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you, Father, that I was born....twice!
In His love, a work in progress
