My child, the journey seems long, but it goes by like a flash. When you’re in the midst of the trial it doesn’t seem so fast, but looking back you’ll realize it was just a blip in time. Live every moment. Be present in the now. Don’t wish your life away. I have you here for a reason. Press into your purpose and live.

Outside Yourself
My child, live outside yourself today. Look around you. See who I put in your path, who needs a smile, a word of encouragement, a hug. Live to give. There is no shortage of hurting people who could use a dose of My love. Give freely what I have given you.
A New Heart
I will give them a new heart and put a new spirit within them, and I will remove their hearts of stone and give them hearts of flesh. I will put My Spirit within them, they will be My people and I will be their God. I, the Lord, have spoken and I will do it. Ezekiel 36: 26-28, 36
Fall To The Earth
My Child, you have your gifts, your passion and your purpose. I have equipped you with every good gift. All you need to do is obey Me and walk in faith. I will reveal what delights your heart as you surrender all to Me. That’s how it works. “Unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” John 12:24
Dreams And Desires
My child, continually give over your dreams and desires to Me. Let Me refine you and bring you into what I have for you. You must die that I may live through you. I never said this life would be a bowl of cherries. What I did say was that My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Exchange your burdens for Mine. Then you will have great peace and joy.
Pain
My child, I am here in your pain. In this time of suffering and grief I am right here. Let Me in to go through this with you. Only I can bring comfort. Don’t try to handle this yourself and don’t shut Me out. Allow Me in to your broken heart. I am everything you need and I will see you through this.
Beloved
You are My beloved. You are the work of My hands. I formed you and called you to be Mine. Know this for certain, that My love is an everlasting love. It will not cease. I desire that you know Me, really know Me and trust your life with Me. Realize how great a love I have for you. Never doubt My love. You are the apple of My eye and I adore you. Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, fear no evil, for I am with you. My rod and staff they comfort you. I prepare a table in the presence of your enemies. I have anointed your head with oil, your cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life and you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23
Choose To Believe
I can do far more abundantly beyond all that you ask or think. Do not put limitations on what you think is possible. You are thinking too small! Am I not God who created the Universe? Think about how vast that is. I speak and it is done. I am asking you to have complete faith in Me to give you everything you need in every circumstance you find yourself. Think in terms of the power that works within you as My power. The strength that comes is My strength, and yes the joy that comes as you experience the victory is My joy. I give these freely to all who believe. Choose to believe the impossible. Choose to believe Me.
Nothing Is Impossible
This life is not meant to live in your own strength. I planned it so that you would have to depend on Me. I never intended you to do it alone, but in the power of My strength. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in you. Nothing is impossible. You only need to believe Me and obey Me and you will experience the fruitful life I have planned for you. Trust and obey for there is no other way.
Humble Yourself
You know what happens to this world. It is written in My Word. You need not be concerned about the timing for I know the timing and that is My concern. Your job is to be renewed in your spirit. Even your earthly body will fade away, but I have placed eternity in your heart and that is where I dwell. Seek Me there. Find Me there. Be renewed day by day so when you see the day approaching you will be joyfully looking forward to our reunion in your heavenly home, your rich inheritance, and our glorious life together. In the meantime, rest in Me. Be obedient to My Word. Be surrendered daily and feed My sheep. There is a hungry and thirsty world out there and you have been chosen to be My representative. You are My hands and feet in this needy world. The harvest is ripe. Open your mouth and I will fill it with living water to quench this thirsty generation. Be open and willing to go where I send you and do whatever I tell you. Be willing to serve rather than be served. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and I will raise you up. Self must die so I can live through you.
