    Hear Me, My child, as I speak words of strength and of comfort to you, drawing you into My presence, shutting away the world and its distractions.
    Do not fear that the events of the day will tumble out of control if you fail to keep an eye on them; know that I will keep the world on an even keel while you are ensconced in My Spirit and embraced in My love. Turn the eyes of your heart upon Me, My love, and gaze steadily upon Me so that you may know the truth and the depth of My desire for you, personally.
    Let the reality of My passion for you sink into your heart and mind, that you may be willing to return that love, reflecting the same devotion back to Me, releasing the ties you have to things and activities in the ever-changing, always-shifting seasons and styles of the world.
    Do not merely know of Me, My seeking one, depending on what others have said about Me. Rather, take this opportunity to know Who I am for yourself, directly from Me, hearing the truth in your heart and seeing the reality in My face.
    Let My love strengthen you, for I have work to do in your life, cleansing to accomplish that requires your cooperation. There is cleansing needed in the temple of your heart, which was created as My dwelling place, but which has been infiltrated by other powers.
    I have made you righteous in the sight of God, accepted in the Beloved, and I wish to see you resting comfortably in My Spirit, at peace in your relationship with Me, moving with confidence in the power of My Word. For this reason, I am guiding you, training you, emboldening you to wage war on the strongholds that remain in your life.
    I am with you, My precious one, every step of the way, and will show you just who you are in Me, and to Me.
