I ask you, My dear one, not because I have no idea, or need your help to understand. My question comes to you because you need My help to realize what your inner struggle is about.
Consider what has occupied your waking thoughts, My love, and look closely at what has stolen your rest. Where have you directed your energies, and around what rock has the calm flow of your peace been forced to tumble?
I am well-aware of what your need is, My special one, and I bring you circumstances to cause that issue to become visible. It is My hand that directs events around you designed to reveal to your heart what you need from Me. Do not be ashamed, My sensitive one, and try to hide the issue; rather, bring it to Me, confess it before Me, join with Me, and allow My truth to shine upon it so that you may see it for what it truly is in light of My eternal love for you and the abundant provision I make for you.
You are Mine, My choice one, and I will never cast you aside nor will I ever castigate you for what you are learning about your soul. The struggles you face in your growth and your spiritual maturing are overcome by My Word becoming life through My Spirit and engrafted into your heart. As you press through to Me, as you persistently seek My face, you will find that I am guiding you and strengthening you in order to reach Me and receive what I have already prepared for you.
Come to Me, My needy one, for I am your answer.
