I’ve been in the desert, a bit arid in my prayers lately. I recognize the cycle, I know it as He wills and it will pass in His time.
While I wait, I take time for my regular morning prayers. This morning a reflection begins and He speaks to my heart: “Woman, your thoughts are not mine!” (John 2:4) and I burst into tears.
I know my thoughts are not His and in an instant I see myself unmasked, without the façade I have built before myself and others: unkind, uncharitable, judging, crude, rude, callous, without compassion, cold, unwilling to soften my heart.
He is with me in this moment. He doesn’t reject me nor even admonish; He is simply present, tender and gentle.
“Be humble by what you see. Be softened, be malleable, cooperate with Me. Let Me transform you; let Me make you holy.”
I desire this very much. I am ready, and grateful. Yes, Lord – Jesus, I trust in you!
