Daughter, you can be my vessel,
My servant, my messenger.
But you can only do it with me.
Only with me
Can your purpose, your hope
Be fulfilled.
The world wants to offer you a replica
Of my plan.
It will look the same.
It will hold “promise.”
It will feel easier.
It will be false.
Nothing can replace or replicate
What I have done for you,
What I have for you.
But you must stay with me because
It is only through me.
See Proverbs 3:5-6; Matthew 20:26-28; John 6:60-69, 13:6-17, 13:20, 14:1-14, and 15:1-17; 2 Corinthians 4:7; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 4:13; 2 Timothy 2:20-21
These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.
