For Christmas, my husband got me the 2nd volume of Pseudepigrapha. These transcripts add so much life to Papa's Word :) The characters come alive inside the Scriptures I know so well. Rebecca's heart was so toward her son, Jacob. She and her husband, Isaac's father had a bond that Isaac didn't even have with his own dad. I relate to Rebecca and Jacob so much. Rebecca, for being so right about something with little support. She was probably the only Papa lover in among her siblings. Abraham had his Isaac, but his heart wasn't true toward Papa. Papa loves the truth. Will we step up, even if it means we stand alone for nearly a lifetime? That's a real sacrifice.
Like Rebecca, I stand alone as a mother. Like Jacob, I stand alone as the default receiver of the blessing. It had to happen.
To have a desire for Papa's heart is a gift from Him.
To have a good reputation is also a gift from Him.
To have discernment is another gift from Him.
All good things in our character are gifts from Papa. We have to want them; truly so. Not so we can usurp another's blessing. Our eyes are always up. That is another gift. There would be no resulting conflict or competition over these issues if the ones who missed out had their eyes up. They'd get it. If they got it, there would be blessings all around. The fact is, that they receive not because they ask not. Ah, Rebecca and Jacob. Now we deal with the new dynamics. May we have peace throughout our lives no matter what. Jesus' blood covers all kinds of resulting consequences. That is the blessing of living after the Cross. Thank You, Jesus.

I hope to use this blog as a daily record of Papa, Jesus and Holy Spirit's daily interventions in my life. They are quite daily! I don't want to travel backward, but present; not future, just today. May my every entry be clear.
