Grace

My child, you are called with a holy calling, not according to your works, but according to My own purpose and grace which was granted to you by Me from all eternity. Therefore, be strong in the grace that is in Me. You will never be able to outperform My grace. 2 Timothy 1:9, 2:1

Even When it Hurts

My child, to much is given, much is expected. I have given you talents and qualities that are unique to you and are to be shared. As you give yourself away, I will pour more into you. Be lavish in your giving. Give with a cheerful heart. Stay accountable to those who have your best interest in their hearts. Accountability is key to your success. Do not only report your successes, but also your failures, for by your failures you learn and grow. You learn compassion and mercy. Always learn from mistakes and grow from them. Have at least one person in your life to be accountable to. Someone who loves you enough to tell you the truth, even when it hurts.

The Time of Testing

“Why do you stand afar off, O Lord? Why do you hide Yourself in times of trouble? David writes in Psalm 10:1. What Paul describes as “momentary light affliction” in 2 Corinthians 4:17 never feels “light” and it is rarely “momentary” in our perception of time. Yet viewed from God’s perspective it is both.

Times of testing come in every Christian’s life. They are always bewildering, making us wonder if God is there and if He really understands. Ultimately, though, we find that He has always been present, watching and listening. Will we respond as He desires? After all, it’s all for our benefit, since the Scripture goes on to say that it is “producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.” We need merely to “look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen” (v.18).

Press On

My child, you know in your heart what I have called you to. There is no need to be anxious. Keep believing and press on in faith. Do not walk in fear. I will open every door that I intend for you to go through. Trust Me today for everything. I am Your Father who loves you deeply. Walk in confidence and hope. I can do the impossible.

Overflowing

My child, the world searches for significance and fulfillment. Everyone wants to feel like they are living up to their potential. Most search for this in the wrong way. Most want to be accepted by the culture and their peers. No one will ever achieve fulfillment in this way. You will only find what your heart longs for when you turn to Me, surrendered, wholly and fully to Me. Then and only then will I fill you to overflowing.

Fulfillment

My child, the days draw near as well as the fulfillment of every vision. I speak and it will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your day I will speak the Word and perform it. None of My Words will be delayed any longer. Whatever Word I speak will be performed, declares the Lord God.
Ezekiel 12:23-28

Nothing to Fear

You are My child and you have nothing to fear. See challenges as an opportunity for Me to work. I will never leave you or forsake you. I will not fail you. The best is yet to come. Seek Me. Draw closer to Me. The things of this world will fade away but My Word remains forever.
Deuteronomy 31:8 Joshua 1:5 Matthew 24:35

Do Not Fear the Future

My child, do not fear the future. Leave that in My capable hands. Trust Me with your life. Live today like it was your last. Love deeply those I put in your path. Give to the poor. Reach out to the lost and hurting. Do what I tell you today and tomorrow will take care of itself.

A man’s mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them. Proverbs 16:9
So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

This is the Year

My child, this is the year that the things you have been longing for will fall into place. This is the year of great rejoicing. Open wide your heart. Receive all I have for you. I am coming like a wave to flood the earth with My lovingkindness. My Spirit longs for open hearts. Let Me in. Let Me go deeper this year. Let Me wipe away every tear and set you on high in the heavenly places. Rejoice today. For this is the year of great rejoicing. Your Father and King of glory.
