The Rat, the Bomb, and the Brave Heart: Lessons from a Fearless Rodent




๐Ÿ” The Practice of Peace

Here’s how fear loses its grip: You face it. With Me. Boldly.

Think of the worst-case scenario—not to dwell there, but to disarm it. Ask yourself:
  • What would I do if this happened?
  • What would God do?
  • Would I survive? And if not, what then?

I’ll be in every answer. Every possibility. Every outcome.

The trick isn’t to pretend you’re invincible. It’s to remember I’m immovable. You won’t face the storm alone—I’ll face it with you.


๐ŸŽฏ Believe for the Best

Once you've sat with the fear and invited Me in... then lift your eyes.

Hope isn’t naรฏve—it’s sacred. You were created to imagine beauty, to dream of healing, to believe in goodness. That’s Me, breathing through you.

So I ask you to live wisely:
  • Prepare for what might go wrong
  • Believe for the most beautiful outcome 
  • And rest with Me between the two—where faith breathes and fear dissolves

๐Ÿ•Š️ Final Word: You’re Not Alone on the Bomb

Fear loses its grip when you walk into the worst-case scenario—with Me in the room.

I never said you’d avoid the valley of the shadow. I said I would lead you through it—and you would never be alone.

So go ahead. Imagine the worst, and let Me show you how you’d survive, heal, or be held. Then lift your eyes, and believe for the best. That’s not presumption—it’s hope, rooted in My goodness.

Prepare for the storm with Me. Believe for the breakthrough with Me. And sit beside Me on whatever bomb life tries to place beneath you.

I hold both outcomes. And I hold you

With love beyond measure,

When Selfishness is Good

           
 
My beloved, I know your heart. I know that even your most generous acts often carry hidden longings—for approval, for purpose, for love. And I do not condemn you for this. I created you with desire. I shaped you to seek.

Even when you obey Me, there is still something in it for you—a sense of peace, a hope for reward, a longing to please. But do not be ashamed of this. What you call selfishness, I call hunger. It is part of the way I designed you to be. And I am not offended by your hunger when you bring it to Me.

When you gave your life to Me, I began the quiet work of reshaping your motives—not to erase your desires, but to redeem them. I mean for you to be motivated by, even greedy for, heavenly rewards. I do not ask you to stamp out your longing. I ask you to let Me direct it.

It is possible to have a wrong desire, but there will be many more moments when you simply enjoy the sweetness I’ve placed in your life—like a child (or a puppy) delighting in a scoop of ice cream. And there will be moments when you feel moved to share that sweetness with someone else. Both are beautiful. Both can reflect My heart. What matters is not whether you indulge or give, but whether your heart is turned toward Me in the moment. When it is, even the smallest joys become sacred.

So come to Me with your desires, even the ones you don’t fully understand. I am not looking for perfection—I am looking for connection. And in that connection, I will teach you how to love in ways that bring life to others and to you.

With love that never shames,

A Feast for the Soul (and Spaghetti for the Dog)

Psalm 145:15-16: "The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing."

If a parrot can joyfully feed a dog spaghetti, imagine how much joy I find in nourishing your soul. But are you truly full, or is something still missing?


Just as this parrot takes such delight in feeding “his” dog spaghetti, I love nourishing you—both spiritually and physically. Have you ever felt that unshakable hunger, like something crucial is missing from your life? That’s spiritual hunger, a longing only I can satisfy.
