Ella Hearing God


My sweet, intuitive Ella. I've been reading her a little book that are letters from The King to his Princess. She's been very diligent to have me read it every night. Honestly, it's not my favorite book. Most nights, I'm editing as I read because there are many ways the author portrays God that I don't agree with.  But even with my editing on the fly, there are things that just aren't sitting well with sweet Ella.

¨Mom, is Jesus ever mad at us?¨
¨I don't believe he is [unless you're a pharisee-that's the only group he seemed to get angry at while he was on earth] but there are some people who believe he gets angry with us.¨
¨Does this person who wrote this book believe that?¨
¨Hmmm, what do you feel like the author believes about that? How do you feel when we read this?¨
¨Well, I feel like he never gets really angry mad but that he's sometimes very disappointed in me.¨
¨Wow. So maybe we should just ask Jesus right now what he's actually like for us, for you.¨

She took a few minutes to be quiet and listen to what Jesus specifically had to say to her about this. This is what she heard.
¨I heard him say that he is always with me and he's never angry with me. He likes me and he loves me no matter what I do.¨

Put all your faith in what you heard Jesus say to your spirit, my beautiful and connected Elianna. For your name means, ¨God has answered me." I have taught you that when you converse with him, he will talk to you, answer you. You can trust what you hear him speak in those quiet places in your spirit. You amaze me, beautiful girl.
