Anita was fired up. She had heard from a second hand account that she and her husband, being one of several Generation 0 leaders, would be moved to another CPM team. Misunderstandings can come in small packages, which can lead to large explosions. Posturing one’s heart to choose to gain understanding is in a whole ‘nother ballpark.  

Unity is on the heart of the Father for His Bride. I listened to my dear sister, Anita. She poured out her heart on feeling left out of the loop. And so, seemingly, she had been. I had dropped the ball, so to speak. Having put off the long conversation which I knew needed to take place with her meant that she heard of this possible change from another source. I acknowledged this before her, acknowledged her feelings/validating her and asked if she and I could meet. I invited her to meet after she and her husband took the opportunity to consider before the Lord which of the team options would help them to be most effective.  I asked she and her husband to seek the leading of the Holy Spirit for other options which had not been considered as well. She agreed. 

At the subsequent face to face meeting, she acted as one who felt empowered, honored, included, and loved. That was the point. Though my initial procrastination had fueled the original reaction, she graciously forgave the missteps. 

In addition, she and her husband came up with an even more effective option. The point here is, they had sat with the Father over a period of time, sought out His next steps for them, and totally owned this “discovery” process of discerning HS leading. Oh, and by the way, they felt led to start a newer team of Generation 0 whom they will train in CPM. 

The last time we met, Anita and her husband were heading to a village to start an access ministry with the intent of finding POPs and starting DBSs in this newer context.  

Ignited by the fires of refining, wholly released unto the work of His hand is the heart of a yielded one. A daily posture of surrendered hearts leaves no opportunity for the derailment of God’s great and glorious purposes. Be vigilant. Be abandoned to support and love others in a calling forth heart posture, while maintaining a dependent and humble approach. Though some reconciliation attempts may fail outwardly, there is always opportunity for transformation on the horizon for those who choose forgiveness. Remember, that death to self-life in the formation of vibrant Christ-life is always a great idea.

There is no regret for those who desire His higher ways and choose them.
