Feeling alive today, and desiring to be used; to have a purpose and meaning!!! I'll go ask Captain what He would like me to do.
I found Him sailing dutifully and confidently at the helm, as I sought Him. Smiling as He saw me coming, I approached Him with boldness, knowing of His great love.
"What would you have me do?" I asked Him.
"Put your hand on Mine, and steer with me," He said.
I thought this an unusual request, but did it anyway, and when I did, something happened inside of me. I felt strong as we forged ahead by His power. A focused sense of direction pulsed through my being.
"Captain, I don't want to take control again," I stated.
"Oh, you aren't. I am steering, and you are aligning yourself with that, as you put your hand on mine. There is a difference between you steering and you wanting me to back you up, and this," He explained.
"That is good, as I am afraid of my own control," I said.
"As you should be. It has taken you down paths of confusion and fear," He stated all-knowingly.
"Yes, I know. Until I came on this journey with You only , I tried to listen to You, my love, and myself and satisfy all 3 of us at the same time, but it didn't work," I said sadly at how futile that now sounded.
"And now?" He asked.
"Now, I want only You to steer, and me to follow that leading," I answered with confidence.
"And what about your love?" He asked further.
"You first-period. And out of that, I can follow him," I now stated with understanding and sureness.
"You have learned a great deal, my daughter," He said with joy in His heart, as He knew that if I would keep this order in my life, true peace would be mine.
