Nowwwwwwww, let's get into today's Word. Holy Spirit dropped this Wonderful Word in my heart space earlier this week. It's a Beautiful & Loving story that was shared by my Fave Rabbi, Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein from Holy Land Moments.
Loves, I hope it Hits the Spot for You like it did for me. Take in EVERY Word and Enjoy!!
There is a story told about a little apple tree in a forest of oak trees. Each night, the little tree looks up at the great big oak trees and sees the magnificent stars shining through their branches. From the vantage point of the apple tree, it appears as though the stars are actually hanging from the branches of the oak trees. The apple tree is amazed and she turns to God and asks for stars on her branches, too. “Be patient," God replies.
Every night the apple tree is amazed at the stars, and every day that passes without stars of her own, she is sure that the stars are simply beyond her reach. “Please, God,” she begs at night. “Please give me stars, too!” And God’s usual reply comes, “Be patient, my little one.”
One night, the little apple tree is particularly distraught. “Will I ever get those stars? Are they within my reach?” Just as she starts to despair and believe that the stars are simply beyond her, God sends a great wind. The wind carries a newly formed apple from the branches of the little tree and it falls just beneath her. When the apple falls, it breaks in half, and lo and behold, there is a “star” within. The stars had been hanging from the branches of the little apple tree all along!
The authors of this charming story took advantage of the fact that when we slice an apple horizontally, indeed, the image of a star can be seen. It serves as a great analogy for what the Bible has been telling us for millennia. The heavens are not beyond us somewhere out there beyond our grasp. Holiness, godliness, and spirituality are all within us already. We just need to reveal it.
When you feel unworthy, defeated, or overwhelmed, remember that you are pure holiness at your core. Nothing is beyond our reach; we need only to uncover the light that already shines within.
"It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it." (Deuteronomy 30:12–14)
Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!

Hi Loves, FYI...(No Intro/Explanation Needed)
ReplyDeleteTo Harvey, Irma and your cohorts,
I don't know who in hell has sent you to us. Well, I think I do know but I'll give him no credit. For some reason God has allowed you to interrupt our lives at this time. My meanest teachers have taught me the most and so far you are the worst one of all. I hate you but you have taught me the most important thing in my sixty- eight years..
You taught me that the most important things in life are not things but people. You have reminded me how fragile and uncertain my life can be as you have drawn me closer to the Lord.
I think your surprise attacks are timely after all, for I have witnessed racial and cultural enemies save one another from drowning in your deadly flooding waters. For a moment in time we are teary eyed for you have broken our hearts wide open with compassion for each other, for we are all survivors together.
I believe that many of the lives you took from us cried out to God to save them in their final breath and many are rejoicing in heaven because of you. You have given us a fresh fear of the Lord and an urgency to tell others about Jesus. So what you did is now causing the gospel of Jesus Christ to go further than ever before.
Know that we will become stronger than ever as God opens the floodgates of heaven, pouring out His Spirit on a nation that's being driven to its knees. So we win." - Bill Yount
