Strength to submit

In Empowerment, Go to God, Less of me, more of God, Listening to God, submission

Daughter, submit and come with me.

“Submit” is not a word you like, but

It is not what you think.

In submission, there is power.

My power.

My power serves

The weak,

The meek,

The ones who serve.

My power does not serve those

Who believe they don’t need it.

My power does not dominate for selfish gain.

My power defeats evil.

My power lives in you, daughter.

When you submit to it,

You have it.

You have it to do good,

To love,

To share light.

Submission is not

An act of weakness.

It is the way to strength,

Real strength,

In me.

No one is stronger.

Why wouldn’t you want that strength

To dwell in you?

Daughter, let me dwell.

See Psalm 32:8-11; Isaiah 55:8-9; Matthew 10:38-39; John 13:1-17; John 14:15-26; Romans 8:5-17; 2 Corinthians 3:4-5; Ephesians 5:21-33; Colossians 3:18-24; James 4:5-8; 1 John 4:4

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.

Made for it

Daughter, ease your mind,

Ease your heart,

For I am with you.

Trust me

With what you’re going to do

Today, tomorrow.

Tomorrow is safe with me.

Don’t believe you will

Ruin it.

When you are with me, it will be

Everything you hope.

And more.

I want to give you abundance,

But remember,

It comes from me,

Not you.

Remember that

With me,

Anything is possible.

With me,

You are

Whole, complete,

Everything I made you for.

But only with me.

See Deuteronomy 31:6; Isaiah 41:9-10; Habakkuk 3:19; Matthew 19:26; Matthew 6:25-34; Matthew 28:16-20; John 14:12-14; Ephesians 3:20; Colossians 2:8-10

I’ll show you, daughter.

I’ll you show you the way, away from

Emptiness,

Worry,

Strife.

Away from

Meaningless

Work,

Worry,

Fear.

No rushing,

No stressing, just

Me.

Come on, daughter.

Let’s do today

And tomorrow

And all your days

Together.

Let’s celebrate each one because

With each one,

You get closer.

Closer to your destiny,

Your purpose,

Your assignment.

Closer to me.

Only with me

In God's plan, Less of me, more of God, Letting go, Purpose, Trust, Your will, not mine

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

In, with, and through

In I AM, Less of me, more of God, Letting go, Purpose, Your will, not mine

Daughter, why do you wonder how

You can do what you do?

What you’re supposed to do?

What you’re called to do?

Why do you believe that somehow

It’s all you?

It’s not, daughter.

I am working in you and with you and

Through you.

The good things you do are not on your own.

It isn’t luck.

It isn’t because of your hard work.

It’s because I have made a way for you.

See Exodus 3:10-12 and 4:10-12; Deuteronomy 8:6-18; Ecclesiastes 2:22-23 and 5:15-16; Jeremiah 1:4-19; John 3:22-36, 14:8-26, and 15:4-8; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 2:13

Let them see

Listen to this week’s word

Go, Daughter.

Let them see more of me.

More of me, less of you.

That is where redemption is.

For them and for you.

Drink it in, and rest in that today.

I love you, daughter.
