I know you, dear one. I know every hair on your head. I know when you rise, when you sit and when you lie down.

Those are the visual things I see about you. More importantly, I know the very inside of you. I know your fears, your doubts. I hear the things you say, or the things you are afraid to say.  

And yet I love you, even more.

From the foundation of the world I planned to have you with Me. I created you to love and serve Me and be with Me. 

You are not a mistake, an evolutionary happening. No, dear one, far from it. You were planned. I personally formed you in your mother’s womb.  

Because you cannot see Me does not mean I love you any less, or that I will take care of you any less. I see you and I know you from the inside out, and that makes Me love you even more for all the crazy little things that make you you.  

Be secure in that, for I..KNOW..YOU.

Psalms 139:13-14, New King James Version:

“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.”

Oh, how I long to put My arms around you and comfort you! 

No matter how many times I reassure you of My love, when you go out into the world, the devil and his entourage barrage you at every turn. Your thoughts turn away from Me, and insecurity and depression sets in.

Am I really right beside you? Will I really guide you like I say? When you are in our private place, you have that assurance, but when you leave to face the world, you start to doubt.

Like any soldier who has fought a long battle and gets to come home to renew their strength, come back into My arms and I will strengthen you there. All your fears will subside when you are at My side.

Oh, My dear one, it breaks My heart to have you keep doubting Me. The price Jesus and I paid for our connection was too high to ever give up on you.

Come back now to our quiet place. I am there, waiting.

II Corinthians 1:3-5, New King James Version:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.”

I have given you so much helpful information in the Bible, passages which I draw you to to give you comfort and to direct your path. Use them often and keep our lines of communication open. 

I know you don’t know what to do. I do, however, and will continue guiding you. Do not give up, now or ever. You have consecrated yourself to Me to use for My good.  

Just hang on, beloved one. I will guide you. Seek counsel of your earthly Christian mentors, but always come back to Me for the final word. They see things from earthly standpoints. I ask you to step out in faith.

I will show you a sign, dear one. You will know. Stay close to Me.

John 12:44-46, New King James Version:

“Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.”

Does your world seem to be falling down around you? I have a better plan for you than what you can see or know. Please do not be afraid. You are not walking in uncharted territory. You are walking on the path I have planned for you.

Step out of the security of your earthly knowledge and into faith in Me. The time is here and now. No more waiting.  

Just free fall into the unknown limits of faith. I will catch you and together we will fly. 

Take that step of faith, beloved. The rewards are limitless. Don’t ever be afraid. I did not put you here to rest in your own security. My walk for you is going to be one of adventure, much different than what you might have thought before.

Your security is in Me, and Me alone. Together we can walk through anything!!

Hebrews 11:32-34, New King James Version:

“And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.”

Your heart is heavy this morning, loved one. Don’t be scared. I have you in the palm of My hand.  

I will never let you go and I will never let you fall.

The world, as you know it, is changing. The world, as I know it, never changes. Everything that happens has been planned since time immemorial.

Hold out your hand. I will take it and guide you. When you get frightened, remember where you are and Who is with you.

Think of the scriptures of the Shepherd leading the lamb. I am the Shepherd and you are My lamb. Though you walk through the valley of death, you will not be afraid for you are with Me. I make you lie down in green pastures. 

Stay here awhile in the green pasture, and let Me enfold you with My peace and love.

When you are ready, take My hand and let Me carry your load through to the other side. 

Just trust Me, My child. I will not lead you astray.

Psalms 23:1-3, New King James Version:

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”

I have opened a new world before you.

I am just starting to show you the plan I have for you. It is different than what you thought, but I am in the middle, beginning and end of it all.

Are you excited? A new path to travel on! You just thought your dreams were over.

Yes, you still have problems now, and your problems will never stop. They are how I keep you close to Me, helping you learn to depend upon Me daily.

Remember the courage and joy I asked you to have during your time of despair? Keep those feelings. I am pleased with you, dear one. You have shown yourself to be faithful to Me in many trials, and although you didn’t understand why these things happened, I never let you down.  

You are still here with Me, and I with you.

So open up your heart and your mind. I have many wonderful things in store for you. 

Stay close. Always stay close.

Psalms 119:34-35, New King James Version:

“Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it.”

When you take My hand through the crises you are facing, I am so close to you. I am beside you in your decision-making process.

I know you are laden with fear. To the world you seem strong, but I know My child inside and out.  

I long to have you turn it all over to Me to receive the peace only I can give, the peace I can freely bestow upon you. This gift will bless you in so many ways.

Peace in a believer’s life encourages joy, and even strengthens the immune system to help with your health.

This gift is free to you, but it was not free for Us. It is only because of Jesus’ death on the cross that all this is made available to you.

Please accept Him, and through Him, Me, and the peace together We bring.  

Take My hand, dear one. All is ok now.

Psalms 119:165, New King James Version:

“Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.”

Take My hand. Walk with Me to the other side of your grief, of your fears. Be a child again, walking beside Me, trusting Me.  

You never used to worry about where you were going when you were a child. Your parent drove the car and you sat in the back waiting for the arrival, and you didn’t know where you were going.

Then, you didn’t have a choice in trusting the outcome. You needed to go along with your parents obediently.

Now you have a choice to make. You are a full adult, and you think for yourself. I am asking you to go to a place where you don’t know where you are going, or where you will end up.

I am asking you to put your hand in Mine, and walk with Me, keeping your focus on Me and on our conversation, not on where I am taking you. Be that child again.

Trust Me, My beloved child.

I have you in the palm of My hand. Trust Me to lead you places higher and better than you had planned.

Walk with Me, beloved one. Take My hand.

Hebrews 11:8, 12, New King James Version:

“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance and he went out, not knowing where he was going. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.”

How great the plans I have for you!  If I were to unveil them now, you would shudder.  Never forget that I created you, and I know exactly what you are capable of doing.

I see you rising higher and higher in the work I have planned, reaching out to others in your own simple way. The corporate CEO is just as important to Me as the mom at home raising future leaders for Me.

Each of My chosen ones is a leader, getting ready for battle. Who do you battle? You battle evil and sin, the devil himself. 

The people he influences seem strong, and they do heartless things to others, but they are really weak inside, and they are scared. Scared of death, and of their lives not being important on this earth, Satan’s realm. He twists them like mannequins.

Most of these people are admired here because they seem important, but their time will soon be over and they will be forgotten. They will face me all too soon.

Is there hope for them? Only I know. Don’t stop praying for them. Live your life for Me.  One day you will look back at how I have led you in this life, and you will be amazed at how far we have come.  

My little child became a leader for Me!

Hebrews 12:1-2, New King James Version:

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

How many times I have called you to Me!  How many times I have lovingly comforted you, yet you keep turning your back on Me.

Yes, you are here with Me now, but during the day, am I with you?  Do you think of Me?  Send up praises or requests to Me?

I want so much more from you, beloved one. We have just begun our journey together,  the only journey worth taking in this life because it leads to Me and our eternal life together.

Keep your eyes focused on Me. The journey will not be easy or painless, but it is ours, well planned out before the beginning of time.

It is important for you to realize how vital your role is to Me and how much you are needed.  Not only do I need your love, but others love and need who you are, too.

I have groomed you through all the hills and valley to be just who you are. You may not understand the picture now, but one day all will become clear.

Stay connected to Me today, all day. Think of Me. Praise Me. Send Me your requests.

The lover of your soul is longing to lead you on our journey together. I have great things planned for you, dear one.  

One step at a time.

Psalms 37: 34 New King James Version:

“Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.”
