God's Lesson using my anklet...


This morning as i awoke at 3am, tried to get back to sleep but intermittently only. Was up then at 5am as needed to send my princess to the sentral station for her flight to Taipei.

When i got back and spent some quiet time, i glanced at my anklet which i had looped to tighten as part of it was dangling more than it should, and causing me to step on it etc. I then began trying to untie it, and tried as i did, it did not untangle itself. Being in the stillness of things, what came to mind was what happens when we entangle ourselves with things we should not and then we end up being entrapped. My mind went to my princess and concern of whom she was befriending. Whilst i said it is ok to know them, she need to be wary not to spend too much time with them. How could i send this message across and God's lesson of entanglement to her....

The harder i try, the more difficult it became as the chains were just so tiny, it was almost locked in. Then, I remembered my sister's advice that in life, there will be distractions but we were to focus on Jesus, His righteousness and His kingdom. I remembered also the word in this book i am starting to read about praying for your adult children and how we do not only politely pray, but pray fervently.

I looked at the anklet and then in my breath, said Lord please help me to teach my princess, to tell her how she could be entangled, and help me how to disentangle and solve this issue.......Miraculously as i lift gently and gently, the chain was disentangled at a blink of an eye, so effortlessly . I just witnessed a miracle as God showed me when i turn to Him and plead and hand over the reigns, He will do it effortlessly for me.....Thank you Lord for this lesson, thank you Lord for this letting me experience once again your miracle. People who hear about this or read this may not understand, but i know Lord and that you spoke and showed me this miracle of effortless when we turn to you and ask you. How i praise you Lord, how i ask you forgive me for trying to handle things on my own.......

In Jesus name......
