He won’t come to the party without an invitation

“Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” John 12:24

ME:

True brokenness is losing faith in my abilities, abandoning all my dependence on human resources.

It means securing myself to God’s spirit and wholly dependent on heaven’s resources.

So, all the pain, grief, loss, disappointments haven’t led me to being truly broken?

For a while, I felt broken, in my recovery from addiction to alcohol, drifiting between God’s resources and my own.

Mostly my own.

But “wholly” doesn’t leave room for compromise.

Still, though, I read the words and wrestle with how to embed them in my spirit so that God is my first thought–not the world’s answers.

I want to open myself to God’s possibilities…without fear, hesitation, doubt.

How do I learn to reach for His lifeline?

 

GOD:

My thoughts can be your thoughts.

Listen for My quiet voice.

Sometimes l’m  not invited to your party.

I have food and gifts in abundance, waiting, waiting, waiting for the call that doesn’t come.

Sometimes, it does come, but then I’m told, “Not now. Nevermind.”

Call me to the party that is your life.
