All Good & Perfect Gifts

Coming Down From The Father Of Lights

Greetings & Blessings Faithful Followers of Team MissionAccess worldwide!  This message I truly believe is a good and perfect gift downloaded directly into my sleepytime brain to encourage both me and you during even these the most perplexing of times inded. 

Let me explain:  to combat my ever-progressing MS I have been on the Coimbra protocol (high-dose Vitamin D to help treat autoimmune disease) since Summer 2019.  Though I decided to discontinue this somewhat controversial treatment, I have in fact noticed some noticeable improvements including lucid dreaming. And praise God I had a doozy! 

But before I share the dream let’s look at one of my favorite verses found in the Book of James:

 James 1: 17 NASB

¹⁷ Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

 I want to focus on just two words, the first being:  GIFT. Now when I think of “gift” I think of a brightly wrapped box with a big bow and a card with my name on it! 

 But the second word is:  EVERY which appears twice.  Sometimes His best gifts come in far, far different packages than we expect which Laura Story captured so well in her song “Blessings.” Or like my dream may have no physical wrapping at all yet seems cloaked in mystery nevertheless.  Ah but what a joy when our Awesome Lord creates something just for You!  And though we just don’t necessarily understand we can take incredible comfort in knowing it was meant for us and for us to share.

So here’s my dream along with a hopeful interpretation I believe the Lord laid on my heart:

I dreamt that my Beloved husband Larry and I were riding together probably on DART when it came time for me to exit alone and proceed with some predetermined task. And though it was dark, I felt no fear until I encountered a flashing neon DETOUR sign ahead. My heart sank and though in my scooter I navigated my way through a gauntlet of construction DANGER roping to flag down a worker donning full reflective bling. “What am I supposed to do?” I anguished helplessly. The worker, who was a petite Hispanic woman, answered me confidently “God will take care of you!” and I awoke amazed.

WOW whatever was all that about?!! Well since the time that I dreamt it I truly believe that our Awesome Lord gently laid this comforting interpretation on my heart:

Peeps you may feel that you were just going about your business when BAM suddenly you found yourself alone in a strange place surrounded by flashing-neon danger. But yet again Praise God He was right there waiting to protect and to guide you through it! And though it may seem neither good nor perfect at the time, you can rest assured that He is there every good & perfect step of the way.

 In His Accessible Grace,

Linda
