Deuteronomy 1 & 2; Mark 12

So many tears here lately....most of them from softness and appreciated but you always got those that come from frustration.....or at least I do....I know which are which I just don't know how to stop the ones from frustration.......I know how to move away from them but not sure how to move into them so they stop.....that's the draw here lately I think figuring out how to surrender to You in everything......how to want to want what You want MORE than anything....and realizing I do want it....and realizing that You are everything keeps me wanting it...realizing that I want it for others all others....hoping that is taking me to the LOVE You call me to.......

Deut. 1&2 Moses telling the Israelites their story....Do we now need someone else to tell us our story, so we truly see our stubborn disobedience and Your redemption of us in spite of that....or in Christ we had to look at it anyway, to accept that forgiveness we had to see it? Would I have heard it without Your Spirit? Would I hear it now? Do I need to, do you? hmmmm Jesus used parables w/his disciples......

Mark 12: 29 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
To love someone you have to spend time with them...this time w/You...You will take care of the second part.......You help us in this time discover our stories......and our stories are written to bring us to You......so how to help another discover their story???
