Thought for Today: Shabbat December 11:

Let Elohim bless you with His Grace and Peace. Open your heart and mind to receive all that He has done for you. Do not be ashamed of your emptiness. Instead view it as the optimal condition for being filled with His Peace. It is easy to brighten up on your outward appearance, to look as if you have it all together. Your attempts look good and can fool most people. But Adonai Elohim see straight through you into the depths of your being. There is no place for pretence in your relationship with Him. Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood. Talk with YHVH about your struggles and feelings of inadequacy. Little by little He will transform your weaknesses into strengths. Remember that you relationship with Elohim is saturated in Grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don’t do can separate you from YHVH’s Love and Presence.
