CONTROL!
GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING ME IS A HIGHER PRIORITY than maintaining a
tidy, structured life. Your heart resonates with this truth, but in
practice, you usually strive to keep things under control. I read your
thoughts with perfect accuracy, so I know how easily you lose
perspective.
When "order" becomes your focus, you usually try to enlist My help in regaining control rather than asking Me to help you enjoy Me. Nevertheless, I delight in your heartfelt desire to "kick up your heels" in celebration of who I AM - even though it's so difficult for you.
Let's think together about this: To glorify and enjoy Me as you desire, you need to relinquish control to Me. You may feel as if this would involve giving up something valuable, because controlling things is a way you try to feel safe. In reality, however, what I'm asking you to give up - the striving to maintain control - is something that frustrates you far more than it helps you. Even if you succeed in creating a tidy life for a time, you will not be able to maintain it.
Instead of wasting your energy on an impossible task, endeavor to celebrate your relationship with Me. Learn to walk more consistently in the Light of My Presence. Indeed those who walk in this Light can rejoice in Me all day long, exulting in My righteousness. Glorify Me by living joyously in My energizing Light.
