The same Power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave lives in you! Pause and think about that! Romans 8:11

Safe in the arms of my Father no matter the pain or hurt. When life gets messy and ugly, when storms rage, My Father is holding me, keeping me and carrying me through. I am safe, I am at peace, I have joy in the struggle. God is with me and He is good. His arms wrapped around me, comforting, protecting and loving me during the crazy seasons of life.

My child, I uproot, but I also plant. I prune and trim and cut back all that destroys, but I have compassion, I water and keep My covenant with all those who turn to Me. I am with you in the drought, the rain and the storm. I bring you through to refresh you, restore you and to give you rest. I alone am your Redeemer, your Sustainer, your all and all. Cling to Me in all the seasons of life. I am with you wherever you go.

My child, you don’t need to defend yourself, you just need to keep trusting Me. I am your defender. Let Me take care of this. I am working all of this out for good.

My child, I see how your heart goes out to your loved ones. How it longs for their salvation and healing. I love them more than you do. I am at work in their lives. I am standing at their heart’s door knocking. I desire their repentance and long for them to turn to Me. I desire none to perish. I hear your prayers and will answer your pleas for them. My love for them is great and My victory over the evil one is complete. Shout for joy for their salvation is near. Sing, praise and worship. The battle is won!

My child, My love for you is great. I gave My life so we could be together forever. I desire you to be wholly Mine. I chose you and set you apart to live in this world, but not be 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 things above. Do not 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 destined for you.

My child, here is the goal I have set for you, to bear much fruit and glorify Me. I will cause this to happen when you lay everything down at the foot of the cross and follow Me with your whole heart. Abide in Me and I will abide in you. You cannot bear fruit in your own strength. In fact, apart from Me you can do nothing. So cease striving to make things happen on your own. Know that I am God. I alone will do through you what I have purposed from the beginning. Don’t think like the world thinks. Surrender equals success. I love you with an everlasting love. Abide in Me.

I will take care of your every need, there is no need to fear. I’ve washed you and redeemed you and wiped away your tears. Lean on Me, rest in Me and have faith and believe. Your path is laid out, your future secure and there is no need to fear. 

You are right where I want you to be. I have placed you in a strategic place for My purposes. Stay the course. Do not look to the right or the left. Keep your eyes focused on Me. I am leading you and will guide you into My plan and purpose. You will have joy and peace as you daily walk by My Spirit. Have faith My child. 

I desire to be one with you. United, set apart, sanctified, so that you will be in Me and I in you. This is the intimacy I want for us My child. Oneness. A love so great awaits all those who come and seek Me with their whole heart. My love, My joy, My peace inside of you. My Spirit dwelling inside of you, revealing all that the Father has for you. Enter into this intimacy. Do not be afraid of it. Do not hold back. Complete joy and total satisfaction awaits you. I alone can fulfill your greatest need. The emptiness that you experience is a lack of Me. Only I can fill that void. There are no replacements, no substitutions. Everything besides Me leads to greater need and greater dissatisfaction. Come My child and get whole, pure unadulterated love, joy and peace from the One who loves you with everlasting lovingkindness. Come My love, enter into the joy of your salvation.
