We left the utility part of the house and went back upstairs. All had been cleaned up and purified down at the back of the house, and as we went past the cupboard upstairs which had been so smelly before, a bit of fresh air wafted past us. I was so pleased that I had got my Visitor to deal with those putrid things I had shoved in there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We went down the passage, and I showed Him the bedrooms next. \u201cYou may choose whichever one suits You the best\u201d, I said as we went past the open doors of each of them. \u201cThank you very much,\u201d He said, \u201cI will be glad to have whichever one you tell me.\u201d \u201cThis one has a new bed,\u201d I said proudly, \u201c I\u2019m sure You will be most comfortable here.\u201d \u201cThank you,\u201d He replied, \u201cIt will be nice to have somewhere to lay My head. When I was on earth, even though the foxes had their holes to sleep in and the birds had their nests, I had nowhere to lay my head many times. It was then that I went up into the mountain to pray to My Heavenly Father, and to gather strength to do His will. It is always My delight to do His will you know!\u201d (Psalm 40:8)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I felt an unspoken rebuke there, just as though He knew how little time I spent doing the Father\u2019s will myself. There were always other things I wanted to do, things which I always found time to do. \u201cMy room is just along the passage here\u201d, I said lamely. \u201cOh yes,\u201d He said, \u201cIt is good to have rest\u2026.I always like to see My children taking their rest. Especially the rest that I can give them, I tell them all to come to Me and I will give them rest, when they have worked hard and had heavy loads to bear. Especially the rest I can give with an easy conscience knowing that they have put all wrongs right and given thanks to the Father for all His goodness and mercy to them!\u201d\u00a0 (Matthew 11:28)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I squirmed a bit at that\u2026.I knew there were many nights when my sleep was disturbed by angry thoughts and ideas of revenge! Yes, I knew they were wrong, but they were only natural weren\u2019t they? My Visitor said quietly, as though talking to Himself, \u201cDon\u2019t avenge yourself, but give place to wrath, for it is written \u2018Vengeance is Mine, I will repay\u2019 says the Lord\u201d. (Romans 12:19)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u00a0 It was amazing how He always seemed to put His finger on some little secret that I had thought was hidden. As we turned to go downstairs again, once more He murmured as if to Himself, \u201cI will not allow your foot to be moved, He who keeps you will not slumber or sleep!\u201d\u00a0 (Psalm 121:3-4)<\/em> This thought gave me great comfort, knowing that I was in His hands!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We left the utility part of the house and went back upstairs.
