“Jesus promises rest for my soul when I spend time in His presence. Reading the Word and conversing with Him in prayer give me clarity to see where I’ve picked up burdens He never meant for me to carry. Jesus helps me understand where I’ve tried to control circumstances rather than giving Him control. He helps me discern where I’ve said yes to commitments because I felt obligated, not called. Responding to the insights He gives means resetting my priorities and perspective to align with His.” (GraceFox- Mornings with Jesus)

One of my greatest problems in my life is dealing with rejection- not being included. In my other life, I never stopped doing and just being. I wanted to make sure I was among the “includes”.  Last night deep in my subconscious a dream managed to make its way to my consciousness.  I was left out of a gathering.  I awakened in pain and hurt.  I got up – grabbed a pencil and paper and journaled my hurt.  Then, in my readings in the morning, I read the above – it spoke to my heart.  Change has always been hard for me, but when I went through the depths of despair, I realized all that I thought was so important wasn’t “important”.  What is essential is love, kindness, gratefulness, and as stated in God’s word – Ephesians 4:31-5:1 says this:

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.” 

I am aware, as long as I am in this body, and being a highly sensitive person, I will deal with unpleasant sensory emotional sensations, but as long as I put my priorities in the Lord’s hands, and let Him be the Ambassador of my life, I am okay.
