My child, see how I have provided for your every need? There is no need to worry. Rest in My arms. Like a weaned child rests against his mother, let your soul be calmed and quieted.

Come to the table
My child, I created all of this for you. I chose you from the foundation of the world to be Mine. I desire relationship. I long for your attention. Come to the table and enjoy the banquet I have prepared for you.
Not Home Yet
My child, My love for you is great. I gave My life for you so we could be together forever. I desire you to be wholly Mine. I chose you and set you apart to live in the world, but not of it. This earth is not your home. It is a temporary dwelling place where I am training you to rule and reign in the midst of your enemies. Set your heart and mind on the things above. Don’t go after the earthly prize. I have so much more for you. Seek first the Kingdom and all the other things will be added. Seek first the earthly and your plans will be frustrated. You will miss out on what I have for you. Choose Me above all else and live the life I have destined for you.
Waiting
My child, I am waiting to pour out all My blessings that I have for you. Waiting until you are ready to receive. You think you know what will satisfy you and bring fulfillment, but until you fully release all of your plans and all of your desires into My hands, you will be unable to receive all that I desire for you, which are above and beyond all you could ever as for think.
Intimacy
My child, I am doing a new thing in you. You will see a shift in the way you operate. I will give you eyes to see and ears to hear. You will glimpse into the supernatural which is really reality. I give you My heart for the hurting. You will observe the need and I will show you how to fill it. Keep your eyes focused on Me. Keep seeking the things above, not the things of this world. Intimacy with Me is more important than anything you can attain here on earth. Share My intimacy with others. It’s the best give you can give.
Always
My child, I am always here, always available, always willing to come to your aid in each and every circumstance. Do not fear, and do not worry. I will lead you in the way you should go. Just ask Me. Then take tie to listen. I am here.
On Discernment
Why do Christians sometimes run to non-biblical sources to gain what they imagine to be profound wisdom? Think about it: the Bible contains a wealth of information regarding God’s nature, the purpose for His creation, and His amazing plan to bring us into conformity with His will—all culminating in sharing His glory with us eternally. Yet for many this doesn’t seem to be enough. So, they pursue wisdom not only from secular sources but also from the teachings of other religions.
Ask this question: How can anything of enduring relevance be gained from those who believe in many gods—or even those who believe that there is only one God, yet reject Christ’s divinity? The answer clear: NOTHING! At best these philosophies and belief systems result merely in human wisdom, and at worst demonic deception. Get to know your Bible intimately, and the urge to seek further enlightenment will disappear.
Wisdom Shouts!
“Wisdom shouts in the street…Turn to me and I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you.” so says the book of Proverbs. It is God shouting this message. Just imagine it—the Creator of all things calling you, calling, not as a whisper, but as a roar! And He continues to cry out today. Yet because He does not threaten immediate judgment on those who spurn Him, God’s call goes largely ignored, drowned out by the clamor of self-centeredness.
But He delivers a clear warning: “Because I called and you refused, I stretched out my hand no one paid attention,” you will be ignored “when distress and anguish come upon you.” God promises blessing for those who respond to Him, and judgment for those who refuse. Which will be your heritage? Choose wisely; choose life—eternal life in Jesus our Lord!
The Power of Belief
Ask yourself: “Why do I believe what I believe?“ Belief is basic to the nature of man; it is the most powerful of all human drives. Because this is so, philosophy has flourished down through history—the early Greeks being a prime example. Philosophy has always been spurred by the question of the nature of life. So, the question keeps arising: “What is truth?” just as Pilate asked Jesus while examining Him.
Truth is simply reality—things the way they really are, not as we wished they were. Be careful! Many of man’s misguided ideas have infiltrated Christ’s Church itself. Absolute truth is derived from God’s revelation, because only He knows how things truly are. And what God has revealed is unquestionably found most prominently in the Bible. Get to know your Bible intimately and you will find His truth deeply rooted as the foundation of the eternal life Jesus promised.
Surrender Your Life
Jesus wants each and every one of us for His very own. But He wants us to want Him. That’s His plan in a nutshell. And God has provided everything we need to step right into our place as His treasured sons and daughters. The Apostle Peter said it well: “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Peter 1:2-3)
We merely need to obey what He has revealed to us. All we have to do is say “yes” to Him. Here’s how: Acknowledge the sin that has separated you from God; turn away from it; surrender control of your life to God; invite Jesus Christ into your heart as your Savior and Lord. It’s that simple!
