I JUST WANT MY SON

-
So many opinions, so many to-do’s
So many are hurt, angry and confused
It got me to ask God for His
“Lord what about what you think?”
  
“I JUST WANT MY SON,” says the Lord

2015 broke off with a blow to a lot of those around me in this season.  Everyone responded or is responding differently saying and doing different things to justify their emotion or opinion ……………. which I completely understand. 

In the midst of all these different reactions, I crept in to that little spot in my heart to inquire of HIS opinion or HIS mind or idea in all this mess. 

Everyone knows the story of the prodigal son.  My highlight from this story, is something I learnt not too long ago in a Bible study.  That moment when the Father reaches the Son and the Son says, “I have sinned against heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” The very next verse goes like, “ But the father said to his bond servants, Bring quickly the best robe (the festive robe of honor) and put it on him; and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet…”
Notice, The Father turned the other way after the son spoke, indirectly saying, I don’t want to hear that; I don’t care about what you did or how you did it; I don’t want your self-pity…….
I JUST WANT MY SON.


I JUST WANT MY SON, He says. 

With this revelation, He gives an illustration of a 2-year old and his parents. The parents can have differences and arguments strong enough to call for a divorce, but because of their dear son, divorce is not an option. [My sincere  apologies to those of whom this is not true.] If the parents have differences in their hearts, the child can make them forget. A 2 year old will always see the parents as one.  Even if the unfortunate circumstance of divorce occurs, their son will always remind them of that bond they have yet choose to ignore. 

The SON has the power to keep the family together.
The SON has the power to remind us of [our] initial purpose.
The SON has the power to make sure the purpose is fulfilled.
The SON (at least the2 year old son), forgives and forgets.
The SON is flawless in the Father’s righteousness.
The SON is pure.
The SON is KING according to His Father’s will. 

“So with differences and opinions aside, because I have taken care of that, Just be MY SON,” says ABBA FATHER.

Doing It Anyway

For some reason, I thought I needed to be out of the woods of this process to be able to tell the story. At least a proper one where my emotions are not in the way. The danger of doing it anyway is you feeling the rawness of the rage, the hurt, the heartbreak, the bitterness.  But I want to stay alive and telling the story helps me do that. Not for likes and follows and shares, but to simply stay alive.  Cue tears.  There's this misconception among Christians sometimes that nothing bad happens to us if we believe in Jesus. You know because God is good all the time and  Great things He has done. I'm not writing to imply those aren't true. I just want to tell my story.  This blog has been about my journey. Testimonies of God's faithfulness in grief, suffering and celebrating life and milestones. And so the journey continues.  Here's what I've been dealt with: a relationship that I love(d) where he wanted to marry me ..... and then he didn't, the morning of....

Imagine a girl growing up in a safe little good Christian home. Key words: safe, good and CHRISTIAN.  I start here because when the environment in your development stages in life is safe, good and Christian, your views and ideas about life is very limited. Limited to only good things. It's not bad and I'm not ungrateful but I say limited because I had no idea how to cope when bad things happened to me because it was a foreign concept and that it was even possible to happen to me in the first place. God was my protector I was taught and I should be immune to bad things?  I look back and see trauma happened one after the other for me in my 20s and now 30s that I guess is where my safety net comes in. My safety net being how I was raised as default - prayer, Bible and family with phrases like, "just pray about it!"   Great stuff but does not negate the fact that I was raised to believe that God is good all the time and for a kid that was raised in that environment, unco...

Steve Penny Prophecy for Fiji! PROPHECY BY STEVE PENNY AT CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CENTRE, Nausori, Fiji - Monday,3 November,1997 "This nation shall experience a cloud of the glory of God, the anointing coming down upon this nation like a thick cloud filled with rain , filled with great potential and it will come down and it will blanket all of the islands like a cloud and it won't come and just wash across and go, but it will settle and it will continue to fall ...the rain of God's presence will fall on this nation in a powerful way. And the reviving of the Spirit…literally within five years, this nation will be awash with a great Revival. One side to another, this nation will literally be under the blanket of a move of the Spirit of God like you've never seen before. Just about every denomination will be touched...only those that are very, very resistant will hold out against it, but whole denominations will be swept into this move of the Spirit. There'll be un...
