My child, be secure in your faith and confident in your conviction. Do not rely on your own strength but, in honesty, acknowledge your weaknesses and confess your needs.

Do not think that you know all that you need, but remain humble and hungry, that I may grow you into the maturity of a serving son, even as I grew in favor with man and God. Cast the burden of your responsibilities and cares of life on Me, for I will sustain you.
Follow Me as your Shepherd, for I will send you as a lamb among wolves, and though they attack you, no harm will befall you, for My rod and My staff protect and comfort you, and My arm upholds and defends you.

When the light breaks through the darkness and you emerge into the newness of dawn, you will know, by personal experience, the effectual strength of My defense and you will realize, first-hand, the comprehensiveness of My protection. You can then confidently and authoritatively relate the eternal truth of My promises to those just starting to need it.
Obey Me willingly in the work I assign you, My precious one. Approach it with enthusiasm for you have the confidence that nothing you do for Me is ever useless, and time spent in My presence is never wasted.
I do not call you to meaningless tasks, fruitless endeavors or purposeless routines, My love. Though you may not see the result or understand the goal, you can be certain by faith that the seed you plant, the love you share, the time you invest, the prayer you breath, the effort you put forth, in submission to My will and in obedience to My word, has My blessings upon it to multiply and increase My kingdom, and bring treasure to your eternal reward.
May you humble yourself according to the example of Christ, the Lord, Who made of Himself no reputation, but preferred others above Himself, speaking not of Himself, as fools do, but speaking and doing as God the Father desired, establishing the will and accomplishing the purpose on earth, as in heaven, of the Almighty, which mortal man, in his carnal mind, cannot understand and dismisses as weak and foolish. 2 Corinthians 11
