Spirit Approach Memo
Continued from Began to Stir
I am… a teenager.
I am noticing girls
I want one
I am confused
God told me
To listen to my heart
And not just my head
But the tension
Is tearing me apart
And I am filled with shame
That I have no idea
How to reconcile the two
I listen to the Spirit.
He says:
“I realize
This is tearing you up inside
But that is the point”
The Spirit ministers to me.
He adds:
“Like gaining a body
And forgetting eternity
This turmoil within you
Is part of My plan…”
“To make you like Me!”
To be continued
Reflection
I feel…
- Messed up
- Comforted
- Complexifying
- Invited
- Parented
Scripture
One day Samson went down to Timnah where a Philistine girl caught his eye, so he returned home and told his parents, “At Timnah I noticed a young woman among the daughters of the Philistines; get her for me now to be my wife.”
Judges 14:1-4 TPT
His parents replied, “Why can’t you find a woman from among our relatives, or at least from our tribe? You don’t have to get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines.”
But Samson told his father, “Get her for me; I know she’s the right one for me.”
Now, his parents had no idea that Samson’s passion for the girl was part of Yahweh’s plan to create an opportunity to come against the Philistines who ruled over Israel at that time.
