My child, let My Word, applied to your life through the wisdom and guidance of My Spirit, prepare you as a vessel. Accept the healing of My love and the balm of My mercy as, by grace, I gather the broken pieces together and bring wholeness to your life.
I am prepared for this, and I am well able to accomplish it, My dear one, but I require a willing heart, ready hands, and obedient feet. Will you allow Me to fitly form you as I desire, shaping you to My vision? Will you trust Me as capable of completing the task I start, even though you do not see all that I have planned?
Those who dwell in the world, rather than merely passing through as a pilgrim, live by a different standard, My precious one, and I desire a vessel that can bear My witness, My living water, to those who thirst for what cannot be found in the dry places they inhabit. Deep calls out to deep, My trusting one, and what I shape you into will touch the heart, though it will puzzle the mind, of the observer.
Those who are captive in the darkness of My adversary's camp know the brokenness of their own lives, though they are trained to hide it, and thus never see that everyone else is like them. I place you in their midst, My prized one, as one turned inside out, showing the pieces, revealing the brokenness, and presenting the gold and the silver in which the pieces are embedded.
They are taught to shame anyone who reveals the condition of their heart, for the enemy does not want the comfort of a shared experience to replace the torment of isolation in his captives. But through your willing witness, I will bring the light of Life and Truth into their cells of individual misery and solitary despair.
So do not receive their false judgment of shame against you, My love, but walk in the confident assurance of My acceptance and blessing. Remember that I, too, walked that same path in obedience to My Father, and I am with you even now to strengthen and support you.

May you be kept from sin and not do evil, but grow in His grace, as you are strengthened by His Word and empowered by His Spirit, for though you may suffer evil, yet may you increase in holiness. 2 Corinthians 13
May you aim for perfection, hear the appeal of the Spirit, be of one mind with the Father, and live in peace as the God of love dwells with you in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13
