Speaking of resistant stains, I confront fear again this morning. I become so afraid of doing or getting it wrong. What is “it”? Oh, just everything. I sense lately, You have been spraying divine stain remover on this area again, inviting me to continue to learn how to truly rest in You. The concept of just resting is absolutely foreign to me. We all have our reasons for being driven to perform, work, excel…and mine are deeply rooted.

Thank You that You do not give up on me in this area no matter how long I am needing for You to work out this stain. Thank You that You promise to complete the work You started! Thank You that I see signs of new life, clean spirit, pure heart as I learn to TRULY trust in Your Goodness and in Your unstoppable, unconditional Love and sincere affection for me.

You offer: NO pressure–just rest, NO need to figure out–just listen, NO need to carry the burdens–just hand them over to You. Freedom, rest, peace–You offer to me. Let me accept, Abba. Let me accept.
