Daughter, the process is tailored

For you,

For your growth,

For the gifts I have for you.

Remember as you work,

As you endure,

As you rest.

Remember that you are

Precious to me,

That there is no one else

Like you,

For a reason.

What we have between us

Can never be duplicated.

You are the only one I want

To be like you,

The only one I want for this

Assignment.

Daughter, stay with me

And I’ll take you

Where you never thought possible.

You’ve always thought

Your destiny isn’t possible.

It isn’t possible for

Someone like you.

The truth is

I want someone just like you for

This assignment.

No one else can fulfill it.

It’s made for you.

I designed you for it,

For today,

For tomorrow,

For all your days.

No one can do the good things

I have for you.

I made them

Just for you.

Daughter, I am moving you forward.

There’s no way for us to go but

Ahead.

And we’ll do it together.

Don’t be afraid.

It will be good because

I am good.

I am moving you forward

To fulfill my plan.

My plan is better than anything

You can dream up.

Don’t be afraid of the process

To get there.

You ask for release, and

It’s coming.

Release isn’t easy.

It requires steps, trust,

Preparation.

But it will be so.

I say it will be so, and

There is nothing to stop it.

Align

In Dreams and callings, Faith, Feeling vs. believing, Your will, not mine

Daughter, I will give you what you want

When your heart aligns to me.

It is only through me that you can have

What you truly desire.

In your heart,

You don’t desire this world and its empty promises.

You don’t desire the hollowness of its fruit.

You desire what is good

And worthy and meaningful, and in that,

I am there.

Truly, you desire what is good because

I made you and your heart.

The world will try to convince you of what you want

And will tell you it’s free.

But there is always a cost, and

It is heavy.

It is a burden I don’t want for any of my children.

But daughter, in me, there aren’t heavy burdens

Or empty promises

Or useless things.

In me, you find what you are looking for,

What you desire.

Daughter, trust.

It’s not up to you.

It’s up to me, and

I love you.

I’m here with you, and

I’m not leaving.

It’s greater than what you see,

Than what many see.

Will you help them see?

Help them see what I’ve done for them, for you.

I equip you.

I give you all you need to do this because

There is nothing greater.

I’ll lead them to you, at

Just the right time.

You don’t have to strive.

You don’t have to work for the honor to help.

It’s already right there.

I’ll show you.

And you’ll see.

Oh, daughter, where is your faith?

Believe that I am working for you right now.

There is nothing to separate us

Except what you build up.

Don’t you see how you’ve grown since you first believed?

It is belief that’s gotten you there.

And it is faith that will bring you where I have for you.

Yes, where I have for you.

It is a new place, a new task, a new assignment.

A new way for you.

It is what your heart longs for.

It is the freedom you want.

It is the assignment you are designed for.

Don’t be afraid of it.

You will do it because I will help you,

Because I am with you.

How did Moses do it?

How did Jonah and Joseph and Daniel and Jeremiah?

They did it with me.

And you will do it with me,

But only with me.

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, your heart is what I love most.

I know what it wants.

I know what excites it, and it is beautiful.

Daughter, you are beautiful.

What you’re doing now, with me, is beautiful.

Doesn’t it feel better?

Doesn’t it make more sense for you to be with me?

It does.

It does because I made you, because I know you.

I know what’s best for you.

I know the right time to take you to something new.

You have to trust me.

Remember that this is your calling.

To trust.

To love.

To know me.

To share it.

To show it.

See I Samuel 16:7; Psalm 23; Psalm 34:18; Psalm 37:3-5 and 23; Psalm 40:1-8; Psalm 51:10 and 16-17; Psalm 139; Proverbs 3:5-6; Jeremiah 17:5-10; Ezekiel 36:22-27; Matthew 22:37-40; John 2:23-25, 3:1-21, and 14; Ephesians 1:18; Philippians 4:6-7

Listen to this week’s word
Photo by Tony Trout

Daughter, let go of what they think, what they want.

Let go of thinking you have to prove yourself.

You’ve shown yourself to me,

And that’s enough.

There is no one else who needs to see you like I do.

I am enough, daughter.

My love is enough.

My grace is enough.

Keep me close.

Keep my promises close.

Cling to them and let go of your plans.

Don’t turn to the world’s solutions.

They won’t work.

Daughter, you have me and my word.

There is nothing else you need to do my will.

Come to me with hands open.

Come to me ready to fill them with what I have for you.

The world will try to fill them, try to fix them to work more and harder.

You don’t need that.

No, all you need is me, for everything.

I am your provider. I am the one who loves you deeply, wholly.

The desire and the power

By

On November 3, 2022

In Daniel, Dreams and callings, Jeremiah, Jonah, Joseph, Listening to God, Moses, Purpose, Trust, Your will, not mine

Listen to a reading of the text below

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

-Philippians 2:13

Daughter, I know you struggled with that verse today.

It’s okay to struggle with the Word sometimes. You are human, and sometimes you don’t understand.

Remember that you always have the desire to do what pleases you – again, you are human.

But the desire to please me can take some time.

I’m teaching you this. I’m always teaching you this.

And yes, I will give you the desires of your heart.

But let’s look at your heart first.

Does it want to serve me or serve you?

Don’t you think I need someone to serve me where you are?

See.

That’s hard for you to ponder. Hard for you to hear. You don’t want to serve there.

Remember how I said I was teaching you to think differently?

Think about Jeremiah. Think about Daniel. Think about Moses.

Did they always like where they were assigned?

Think about Jonah and Joseph.

Did they like serving me where they were?

I put you in places where you’ll be different, but I give you people who aren’t so different to help.

Your sisters. Your family. Your children. Your friends.

Places and riches and things are made by man, but you, daughter, are made by me.

Don’t think for a second that you are less than what man makes or that it has to influence you.

Don’t think that you must conform or belong.

I put you here not to belong but to show my light.

Show them who I am, even if you think they won’t care or it won’t do any good.

Daniel was just a man, but with me, he was more. Same with the others.

Look at what they did. Look at how they showed my glory for generations to see, for you to see.

Think of these deep things, and try to understand.

Think of how I am working on your behalf, wherever you are.

And don’t forget the things that bring you joy without you even having to try.

I give those to you as a gift.

The hard things are a gift, too.

You’ll see it.

Just give yourself time.

Listen to me.

Trust me.

Rest in me.

See Genesis 39; Exodus 3 and 4; Ecclesiastes 2:24-25; Psalm 37:4 and 139:13-16; Isaiah 55:8-9; Jeremiah 1; Daniel 1 and 6; Jonah 1, 2, 3 and 4; Matthew 5:16 and 28:16-20; Luke 9:23-24; Romans 8:28 and 12:2; Galatians 6:9; Philippians 2:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Hebrews 6:10-12; James 1:2-4
