... fell asleep last night about 2am. many questions on my mind. many thoughts to ponder. longing for rest from God.
woke up with a headache from crying so much, but otherwise feeling much more rested and hopeful.
turned to Spurgeon's Morning and Evening.
today... June 29th morning talks about those who die find rest in God.
I felt a gentle whisper to read November 14th evening... it talks about the fact that we cannot have rest before the cross is born... we cannot have reward without the labor. we must persevere, but remember the service is worth it when we keep the crown in view.
then the voice said even softer (i almost wondered if i had even heard it at all)... go to October 12th. I'll lead you to the one you need to read. When I got there, evening's verse was John 14:26... "The Comfortor, which is the Holy Ghost." It talks about how God did not leave us alone to go through the trials we face... He has sent a Comfortor. That Comfortor points us to Jesus - the Source of all Comfort.
Thank you Spirit for your leading in my soul this morning. That was what I needed to hear. Our ultimate rest is in death when we are fully one with God. Until then, keep toiling on in light of that day, fully aware that we are not left to do this alone.
wow.
