Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Desires

With, without

Daughter, don’t be afraid that

I won’t be with you.

Whatever road you take,

I will be there.

Close.

But if you walk

With me,

You will go farther.

You will feel me,

Hear me,

See me,

Everywhere.

When you go

Your way,

I’m still there, but

You won’t hear, see,

Feel.

With me,

You can listen, perceive,

Sense.

Where I take you is not

Distracting.

With me, you can focus.

With me, you can lead.

Don’t be lured by what feels easy.

Remember it’s not.

Without me,

It’s harder.

Without me, it makes

No sense,

No progress.

Daughter, come with me.

I will take you where

I want you to be, and it is

Where I AM.

Even more

Daughter, why is it so important that

It must belong to you?

You are more than

What you clutch.

What you hold

Does not define,

Does not fulfill,

Does not identify.

Only I can hold all of it.

Only I can hold

My daughter,

My love,

My chosen,

My masterpiece.

You are more than

What you hold,

What you desire,

What you dream.

Yes, daughter,

Even more.

Let. Go.

Daughter, let go.

Give me

What wakes you in the middle of the night.

Give me

What robs you of peace.

Give me

What you can’t figure out,

What you can’t see.

Give me

What you don’t understand.

When you give,

I will help.

I won’t help when you clutch

Your gifts,

Your prospects,

Your plans,

Your desires,

Your dreams.

Daughter, let go of them.

Trust me with them.

I will make them

Bigger,

Better,

Fruitful,

Beautiful,

More than you have dreamt.

But I can only do it

If you let go.

I won’t pry your fingers.

You must let

Go.

See Proverbs 16:9; Isaiah 43:16-19; Zechariah 4:6-7; Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:12-14; Ephesians 3:20; 1 Peter 5:7

Replicas

Trust me, daughter.

Nothing in this world will get you

What faith will get you.

So remain in me.

Surrender what comes between

You and me,

And you will have what you want,

What you ask for.

Trust that I love you,

That I provide,

That I give gifts.

Daughter, I give the best gifts.

Seek them, and don’t settle

For replicas.

The world will give you nothing and expect

Everything.

I give you everything

And only want

You.

See Matthew 16:24-26 and 7:7-11; Mark 11:22-24; Luke 12:22-32; John 15:4-8 and 16
