My child, I love you unconditionally, unreservedly. I draw you and accept you without reservation, without prerequisites. You are on My heart, in My thoughts, and indelibly imprinted on My hands. I have gladly given Myself for you, having agreed from the foundations of the earth to redeem you from the hand of My enemy. I knew in advance the price that would be demanded, and the method by which it would be extracted. Nevertheless, I scorned the shame and endured the cross, submitting to the Father because of the joy that was set before Me of bringing many brethren into glory and making you co-heirs with Me of all that the Father has given Me.
It is My privilege and My pleasure to see you grow and change through the leading of My Spirit and the action of My Word in your heart. Even as I, the pioneer, the champion, the founder, the completer of your faith, was found to be a perfect leader, completely fit to bring you into legally consummated salvation, and was brought to the end of My work through suffering, so also will you, as you endure the fiery trials with patience, reach the end of your race, through suffering and tears, to receive the reward that is laid up for you.
Set your eyes upon Me, My dear one, keeping your knowledge and understanding of My love foremost in your heart as you walk the path I lay before you. Trust Me with your life, for I have laid Mine down for you. When you feel I have left you, know that I will never abandon you, even if I withdraw the awareness of My presence for a time. You cannot depend on feelings, and must learn to walk by faith, depending on My Word.
You will be great in My kingdom, if you serve the needs of My people, ministering to them in humble servitude. Though it comes through tears and strong crying, receive My discipline and chastening, for your sacrifices of a broken spirit and repentant heart will not be rejected or despised; I am closest to the brokenhearted and I save those crushed in spirit. My salvation is near to those who fear Me in respectful awe, and I answer those who humble themselves to call upon me in truth. Though I am the Creator of all, and there is none besides Me, yet I look to the one who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My Word.
Be certain of My holiness, My trembling one, but be confident of My love. Receive My righteousness, My called one, but walk in humility before Me. Grow in Me, seek after Me, make much of Me, for you are an heir of My salvation and bear My image upon your life. I am watching over you, and nothing shall come between us or separate you from My love, but you must cling to Me; you must abide in the True Vine. I will shelter you from all others as you choose to draw nearer to Me.
May you always remember that the present form and current fashion of the world, as we know it, are passing away; though you are in it, you are not of it, and can treat the things of the world system, its sorrows, enjoyments, riches, and concerns as merely show, for they are not reliably solid, and only the things of the Lord, from the Lord, and for the Lord will endure. 1 Corinthians 7
May you rejoice in the Lord and be glad, singing in the uprightness of your heart. Psalm 32
May you trust in the Lord, for His unfailing love surrounds you. Psalm 32
May you have understanding to obey the Lord without needing circumstances to restrict your actions, for the Lord will instruct and teach you the way you should go, counseling and watching over you. Psalm 32
May you make the Lord your hiding place, for He will protect you from trouble and surround you with songs of deliverance. Psalm 32
May you pray to God while He may be found, for surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach you. Psalm 32
