"To Lydia"
Hello Lydia. Thank you so much for your
encouraging post!! I too have not had visions nor dreams, even
after much desiring and asking. I so desire to see the face of
Jesus and to hear His beautiful voice -- without any influence by my
own self!
However, I like you, remind myself that He is
pleased that I love and seek Him even without seeing or hearing as
others have. I have to stay ahead of Satan with this, because
after a life of much rejection, he often uses this to tell me that I am
just not quite special enough to Jesus. I know this is a lie,
because Jesus loves me even more passionately than I love Him!
The
writing you attached to your post was extremely encouraging for my
weary soul as well. I was just feeling bad this very morning
about feeling "left out". I have learned to reject my feelings
and stand on His word. It feels good to rely solely on Him and
His word!!
Thank you again, and I pray that you and I both
(and anyone else feeling this way) can rest in knowing that we are HIS
regardless of what we see or hear! We are children of the most
high God. And even better, WE ARE HIS BRIDE, and we are about to
be married to Him for eternity! Praise our loving Jesus!!
