Don't you just love how chapter 40 starts out...Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. When I read those words I see the many hurting hearts the Lord has placed in my path over the past several weeks. My heart aches for them and with them and I pray the Lord gather them in His arms, to hold and comfort each heart.
"He tends His flock like a shepherd, He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart."
Each evening as I look to the sky and see the starry host that He calls by name, I stand in awe and I am comforted, knowing that even as he knows each starry host by name He also knows every need, every hurt, and every desire that has ever entered my thoughts. He knows the history of all scars left upon my heart . He has comforted me and brought me peace. He has shown me that healing follows trauma. He has shown me that mercy moves mountains.
May you be comforted by the Lord through any trauma, May your broken heart be open to His hand of healing upon it...

The Greatest Success
I do hope everyone is doing well and continuing to read along. I realize some things are very hard to understand. The thing to remember as you are reading along through His word is that He is planting seeds.
It is very clear in Isaiah that walking outside of the will of God is a sure path to failure and disaster. The greatest success is walking in obedience to His will. Sometimes that is not easy. Sometimes he calls us out of our place of comfort to move us forward in our callings. Yesterday, I shared with a group of women a portion of my testimony. Being in front of a group is not a place of comfort for me, however, I know that when He calls us to do something, he has a plan and he is in control. My greatest delight is sharing how He has blessed my life and made Himself know to me and if He wants me to do that in front of one or in front of many, I will humbly do that. Before I began yesterday, I asked him to take my words and use them for His glory. I completely placed my trust in him to do that. There is perfect peace walking in His will. No matter how often I had to stop and recollect my thoughts, I knew He was there doing His work. It was an absolutely wonderful time of sharing. New bonds of friendship were born and the Lord touched all of our hearts.
Lord, thank you for the bond of friendship with others that you have placed in my path and thank you for always being at my side. I know that no matter where you send me or what you call me to do, you are always there and I know that with you I can do all things. You always have a plan and it is always good. There are many hurting hearts out there, thank you, thank you , thank you for touching those that needed a touch yesterday..thank you for the message of "I am in your heart, and I love your heart"...In your name Jesus I ask, believe and receive...with love your delighted one..

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli
