May you work with all your might, filled with excitement and joy over the privilege of having a part in God's plan, remaining obedient to the task you are given and devoting your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God. 1 Chronicles 22
May you be confident in the work of God, though you feel young and inexperienced, ill-prepared for the magnificence of the vision, for One Who went before you has made preparation for you; He has fulfilled each of His promises to you, calling you by name and giving you peace and rest around you with strength and life within you. 1 Chronicles 22

Be not circumscribed by your own boundaries, My child, or limited by your own understanding. Rather, let the life-giving flow of the Spirit fill you with the heavenly vision that I grant to each one willing to look up to Me and to look out from themselves.
In springtime the bud swells and grows on the plant when the life rises from the root. The buds open into the leaves that bring healing and produce the flowers whose fruit brings life to others. Even so, abide in Me as the True Vine, receiving the ministry of the Spirit and the life of the Word to share with those I bring you to.
Recall, My child, that I did not receive the in-dwelling of the Spirit and the anointing of the Father to live to Myself in a quiet corner of the land; instead, I addressed the congregations of the faithful and spoke in the market-places of the cities to those who would listen. I did not remain in the obscurity of My “father's” carpentry shop but stepped out into the work My Father assigned Me.
As you seek Me in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, My peace, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind. With My peace bringing quiet and rest to your thoughts and emotions, you will be able to hear the soft, gentle whisper of My Spirit giving the direction and the leading for the next step. In trust and confidence you can move forward, not looking back, but setting your mind on the things that are above.
Be sober of spirit and alert of mind, for not all to whom you speak will be in agreement with the words that I give. My words, since they are Truth, bring division and polarization because My Spirit, watching over My Word to perform it, convicts the hearers of sin and righteousness and judgment. Those who know the fear of God and who hunger for the righteousness of Christ will answer the call, but those who prefer the darkness will allow the adversary to influence their words and deeds to move against all who bear My name.
Do not be afraid or allow yourself to be distracted, but stay fixed on the heavenly vision and calling you have received. As you persist in the work and endure to the end, you will find that though the way to the crown is through the cross, My grace is sufficient.
Reach out, My dear one, beyond yourself, and meet Me where the paths of others cross yours.

Romans 3
May you always hold the Word of God dear to your heart and ever consider the laws of God holy, for He Who has left the sins you committed beforehand unpunished to demonstrate His justice, has expressed His faithful nature and exposed His caring heart in the scriptures He has given. Romans 3
May the Lord help when the godly are not to be seen and the faithful have vanished from among men, for then lies and deception are found everywhere, and men will claim to control their own lips and be their own masters until God cuts them off, for the words of the Lord are flawless like silver purified seven times, refined in a clay furnace. Psalm 12
May the Lord keep you safe and protect you forever from those who malign you because the wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men. Psalm 12
May you give praise to God and extend thanks to the Lord for an insightful, prudent, and understanding spouse. Proverbs 19:14
