When I started this devotional ministry, I can count on both hands the number of members I had.  I didn’t despise the small beginning, because I was being obedient.  He said to write so that they will know that He is real.  And I began to write… Every day was blessed.  Now, I know you’re saying nobody has a good day every day.  I didn’t say every day was good, I said every day was blessed.  No matter what I went through; I knew I was blessed.  I knew things could be worse.  Despite whatever I was going through, I wrote in obedience.  And I know it was because of the obedience I gave the Lord, that He blessed me; His way, and His timing.  He gave me favor one year ago and brought Barbara Beach and I together and created Still Small Voice Radio Show. 

And this is a perfect time to let the Lord know I’ve never forgotten what He taught me about obedience. Therefore, I knew I had to share with you my story about what happens when we willfully disobey the Lord.  Did you know we are causing the Lord pain when we willfully disobey Him?  I didn’t know that; then one day the Lord allowed me to go through a portion of the pain He felt when His children willfully disobey Him.

The Lord spoke these words to me that night, and I’ve never forgotten them:

“My child, what you are feeling; this pain, this pain, is a portion of what I feel when My children willfully disobey Me.  I feel what you feel; and yes, it hurts.  It hurts Me when My children know the truth, and yet they disobey My words.  If only they knew; if only they knew.  Yes, your pain is great.  Never forget this night.  Never forget the pain that you feel; it will keep you close to My heart.  Now, I will heal you of your pain.  Yes, I will remove it; I will remove it.  Rest now My daughter, all is well.  Leave it in My hands, I will remove it.
