Arise Oh Mother of Zion - Special Needs Edition

The year is fast moving along. 

I share a word of God says about a mother of Zion.
In this case, the mother in Zion is all mothers but specially mothers raising children with special needs. The special mothers task is that which only God's grace can see you through.When you first find out when your child is diagnosed with a special need and the pain of raising them and the questions you ask yourself about their future knowing the imminent challenges that may lie ahead can leave you with various emotional challenges. Being a mother a huge blessing from God.Being a mother raising children with special needs requires just that, that very special mother. You are chosen mother of Zion.

When Blind Bartimeaus heard that Jesus was in town, he did everything to find him for a healing. The people were against him getting near Jesus and asked Jesus which one of this boys parents have done anything wrong to cause his blindness and Jesus replied," neither his mother of father have done anything wrong. God is raising you away from blame, shame and worry about your child's condition be it from society or your inner questioning. Once you have risen from that and not by your own strength, he bring out in you a beauty within you you never knew existed. A beauty to arise and shine and go forth to find your hidden calling,your hidden talent.

Rise up against any shame and judgement on your situation. You know the ones you've heard. By God's grace  you will overcome and develop a resilience which comes from what the word of God says about you and your child.

You've punished yourself by self blame and self questioning and self judgement as to whether you did the right things. Its enough from a society that apportions blame onto the mother raising a child with special needs. Its of no use Mother of Zion.

You, Mother in Zion are a chosen, anointed and appointed to raise Gods,precious ones. If you see it this way it makes it more easier to forge ahead and keep doing great works God has called you to be.
Like the Israelites you are a people of God . Isaiah 60:40.

God knows best. Batimeaus found him in town. You can find him in your heart. Find him in your heart and abandon your needs at his feet.You are a mother in Zion so arise and shine.

Stay blessed

God's own Unique Process in Helping us Forgive and Trust

If we say weve forgiven but then, we dont trust God to deal with any trust issues that arise before and after forgiveness, then have we really trusted God in the process.You know what the Lord's prayer say's regarding forgiveness. Most of us say it daily for years but does it sink in our hearts.
By age, forgiveness becomes more difficult especially as fleshly humans. Forgiveness is an expectation upon us from Christ and he calls us to do so instantly.It becomes more necessary as we encounter life experiences which may arise from hurt and pain from others. However, some may say forgiveness is easy and trust is the difficult part. Trust issue could also arise from our own level of self worth.Ponder deeply and we would find it simply is NOT easy and takes the total grace of God to help us forgive an arising hurt and trust. How much trust have we put in God to handle an area needing trust either with ourself or others.

If we are are very honest, many of us have tried and needed more grace to forgive. It's possible to say at first hand that, forgiveness is a process. Its what I use to say or think until God showed me otherwise during a process in which God was speaking to my heart in marriage reconcilition.To God, it isnt a process but he has his own unique process for us because he understands us and knows us by each strand of our hair, he will in his own power take us through what process is necessary to reach the point of being able to totally forgive without an ounce of unforgiveness left. That doest remove his preference for instant forgiveness.

God is aware the type of pain and hurt you are nursing and need to let go of. Some of us nurse pain like if we let it go,we will loose something very dear. Nothing is being held back or possibly lost from unforgiveness except the blessings that await and where God wants to take you. It sounds vey simple but I was nursing pain and telling God to give me time but I believe he had enough of it and told me," Iam bringing you out". Once he starts dealing with your heart, depending on the state and condition of the hearts, we will respond accordingly, depending on our level of faith and how deeply we seek him, his response to healing us is according to our hearts desire and level of faith. He knows your heart. His word is forever final and there for us to seek. He asks us to trust him NOT man. In trusting him, he gives us the ability to spiritually discern and whom to trust.

God is involved in the process of forgiveness he is also involved in the process of trust and lest we forget,it is he who gives us the ability to trust. Proverbs 3:5-6. " Do not Kneal on our own understanding but trust in the Lord with all our heart and in all our ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight".  He has his own process and grace for us.

Leaving to him your cares, he will erase the burden of you having to deal with a spirit such as lack of trust. When God gave us the above verse and we say the Lords prayer, he knew it needed to sink within our spirits. Thus, the need to say it daily because he knows we are in need to forgive and be forgiven. We are in need to trust him.

In trusting we are called to be wise.Your spiritual discernment will tell you whether it is possible to trust. Trust the Lord's ability to guide you from forgiveness and trust.

You see,when God enables you to totally forgive supernaturally,then, the spirit of trust is imminent.Trust in itself can also be gained supernaturally by God's grace.

Remember, if God is dealing with you in the process of forgiveness in the area of hurt then, chances are that, total healing is also required not just in one but two or more people to complete his work to perfection.

Be Blessed.
