Ps 46:10 "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Cease striving...

Cease trying to force decisions. You AREN'T stuck, you're just being still for a moment. It won't kill ya... well, maybe it'll kill some of that prideful, independent attitude of yours, the one that says "I am fully capable of making my own decisions, thank You very much. You may comfort me when I'm hurting, but don't mess with my daily life choices. I've got those covered."

Cease trying to be religious. Superstition is unbecoming one who serves a living God. But wait, if you aren't really interested in SERVING Me and Shama'ing MY voice--if you're just interested in belonging to a moderately respectable little club--then go right ahead, follow your superstition. It might give you a little comfort for now.

Cease trying to prove anything. I know your heart. Be Tammim. If the world doesn't get it, SO WHAT? They didn't get Me either. Get over it and just BE LOVE.

Cease trying to protect yourself. Am I not your refuge?

Hey you. Yeah you. I'm right over here. Are you weary? Are you heavy-laden? C'mon, sit with Me a little while. Maybe even a whole Day. Become My help-meet, and you will find rest for your soul.

I love you.

Shabbat Shalom, Princess...
