God never takes a break from His work in us.  The fact that He loves us and desires deeply a relationship with us is constantly real as we give Him opportunity.  How resistant I’ve been to fully trust Him in all areas of my life.  This breakthrough of the need to surrender my mind to Him is a great example.  This morning He told me that His nudges or His Holy Spirit’s nudges I sense are His Holy Spirit’s way of completing something He’s doing both with me and with another.  If I don’t act on the nudge His work is left unfulfilled with the assignment.  Until recently I’ve looked at nudges from the Holy Spirit as nice things to do but acting on them was more of an option.  I suppose in some ways they still are since we always have a choice.  However, now that I more fully understand God’s Purposes and Ways, I don’t want to hinder any of His work that includes me.  I will trust His Holy Spirit and act more obediently.

On a very different note, a close friend’s mom had a severe stroke yesterday morning and has hours/a few days to live.  She is in her 90’s and has been a widow for over 30 years.  It’s never easy to watch the human life of a warrior of God drift away.  Please pray for them.  God is such a merciful God and I cherish Him for this.
