Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my little online home...I have been overwhelmed by God's unconditional love and grace and enjoy writing about what God is teaching me... In 2025 I am writing meditations on Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich. God used this book to encourage me so much in my life. If you are not interested in this, feel free to read some of my posts from previous years! Blessings to you and have a great day!

The Way of Mercy

"But our good Lord the Holy Ghost, which is endless life dwelling in our soul, full securely keepeth us; and worketh therein a peace and bringeth it to ease by grace, and accordeth it to God and maketh it pliant. And this is the mercy and the way that our Lord continually leadeth us."

Julian of Norwich (Ch. 48)

He is always in us by the Spirit, dwelling within as our Friend. And no matter what negative feeling we have, no matter what mistake or confusion, He is always loving on us and showing us compassion. He is always reminding us we are secure. He is always telling us the truth of our belonging and our union with Him. He is always reassuring us that He won't leave us, no matter what we do. We are safe in His keeping. And He is always working peace in our heart, bringing us to be at rest and calm. He is always reminding us of His perspective, to see that He is taking care of everything. He is always loving us till we calm down and tensions cease. He is always loving and accepting us right where we are, just as we are, with no requirement to change, and yet it is in that embrace of unconditional love that we find ourselves changed, and we feel we can relax and be able to love ourselves and others. Rather than feeling tense or agitated or angry, He brings us to feel relaxed and gentle. Rather than feeling rigid or judgmental. He brings us to feel adaptable and empathetic. Whatever selfish or negative feeling we may be having, He doesn't judge or berate us, He simply loves on us. He keeps on embracing us and reminding us of how special and accepted and beautiful and innocent we are. And we find the negative feelings dissolve in the light of His love and tenderness. This is how He shows mercy to us, and it comes to us unceasingly. We can never outrun or outsin the mercy and compassion of God!

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life."

Psalm 23:6 (ESV)

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end.

Lamentations 3:22 (ESV)

A Prayer: Your compassion for me melts my heart and dissolves all my bad feelings.

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
