The Realization

There comes a time in one's life when the Realization encroaches, so sudden, taking hold and consuming the mind with thoughts never once desired to be brought forth into light. Now, forced to take on the task of vigorous ponderation, the mind is overwhelmed by the demands of the Realization. So daunting, its grip seems to squeeze every last drop of emotional life from the heart, leaving it bone dry- stone cold. The eyes no longer see, the ears no longer hear, the hands feel nothing; there is no taste to be savored, and no aroma to be sensed. A void, empty, pathetic sight to behold... The Realization has reached out its ruthless hand and stripped what little twinkling light that remains of that protective shell of false happiness that has for so long been the sole barrier between you and the brutal truth… Death is imminent. For Life and Love, into the Mystery sleuth. It is found not in the world but in the man, Truth.

Rest

Rest- allow to be inactive in order to regain strength, health or energy; belong or be located at a specific place or with a specific person; an object used to support; remain

I find my rest in Jesus. On this journey of life I often need rest. A time to recoup, refresh, regain my strength, spiritual health and energy, so that when I face those trials, I may overcome victoriously. I rest in my Heavenly Daddy’s arms; I lean on my Jesus when I feel exhausted by life. When I can no longer stand and want to give up, I lean on my Daddy for support. I belong in His presence. He’ll fight for you if you will just rest in Him and lean on Him. He is the Solid Rock who will never falter, waiver, or crumble.

Jeremiah 6:61
Psalm 23
Psalm 37:7
Matthew 11:28

Secret

Secret- not known or see by others or not meant to be known or seen by others
From the Latin “secretus/secernere” meaning separate, set apart, to sift

I go to my secret place to meet my beloved, Jesus, so that He may thoroughly sift my heart. It has to be in secret, away from outside influences and distractions. He will make us holy in the secret place. To be holy is to be divinely set apart and cut off from what you once were before you were in Christ. The secret place is a holy place. I am holy because the Lord has sifted me. He has weeded the garden of my heart and soul, and He continues to do so every time I escape to our secret place.
Father analyze me, sift me, weed me, so all that remains is that which is pleasing to You. I was once separated from You but am now separated to You.

Isaiah 45:3
