Jeremiah 17:7-8

Category: Listening to God Page 1 of 2

I knew, I know

Daughter, why do you think

You will miss my direction?

You have heard me before

So clearly,

And you knew.

Why do you think

You won’t hear me again?

Daughter, you do not have to be

Good enough

To hear.

You do not have to

Measure up

To be near.

You cannot earn

My favor, even when

You believe.

I give to you because

I love you.

Oh, daughter, nothing you have

Is from you.

Nothing you have

Is from your hands.

What you have

Is given.

Material and immaterial.

Tangle and intangible.

Visible and invisible.

Seen and unseen.

Felt and unfelt.

Heard and unheard.

It all comes

From me.

I knew,

I know

you, and

Those I have for you.

I knew,

I know

How it will start,

How it will end,

How you will

Know.

Ready

Are you ready, daughter?

Be ready to see.

Be ready to come.

Be ready to witness and share.

It will come to fruition,

All your work,

All my work.

Just give the work to me, and

Let me do the rest.

You can trust what comes

From my hand.

Just take it, and

You’ll see.

Oh, daughter, you will see

More than you can imagine,

More than you can ask.

I do more when

You come with me.

So come, and

Be ready to go.

Come, and you’ll see

All I have for you.

You’ll see the gifts,

The good things,

The glory that awaits,

And you’ll know

It’s me.

Daughter, no one else

Can do

What I’m going to do.

That’s why it’s important to stay,

Because then,

You’ll know

And tell others.

Trust me, daughter.

Don’t be afraid.

Just come, and

Know.

Know me.

Know who

I AM.

Clear

Daughter, where I AM,

Where I call,

Where I beckon,

Is where you

Thrive.

It is not confusing or

Hard to see.

With me, all is

Clear.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be

Obstacles.

They will block

Your sight,

Be bigger than

What you’ve imagined or

Prepared for.

But let me clear

Your sight.

Let me give you

A light.

Let me make the way

Clear.

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.

Strength to submit

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

Let me

Daughter, let me guide you.

Let me speak,

Let me move,

Let me heal,

Let me make the way clear.

Let me take care of it.

I AM your provider,

Your guide,

Your advocate,

Your love.

I AM the one who sees

Your heart, always.

I AM the one who made it, who made

You.

Listen and let

Daughter, listen.

Listen for me.

Listen to me.

Find joy in it,

In obedience,

In being with your Father.

Rest, read, write,

Absorb everything I show you.

It will only help you.

This is what I want to do today and

Always.

Let your heart rejoice.

Let it sing and praise and know me.

Let it go where I take it.

Let your heart stay with me.

Let it.

See Proverbs 16:20

Whole

Daughter, how often do I tell you to rest?

You think there is too much to do.

It is only through my rest that you will accomplish anything.

I won’t give what you ask when you strive.

I won’t guide you when you insist on leading me.

Daughter, know my sovereignty.

Know that with me, you have everything.

You have my favor, child.

You don’t have to earn it.

You can fight.

You can move.

You can achieve.

But only with me.

Otherwise, it is fruitless.

It will only make you tired, susceptible.

With me, you are strong.

With me, your weaknesses are transformed.

Your mind, your heart, your body are made whole.

Nothing outside of me is whole.

See Genesis 2:1-3; Psalm 32; Proverbs 3:5-6; Ecclesiastes 4:5-6; Jeremiah 14:22 and 17:14; John 15:1-17; Matthew 7:7-11 and 11:28-30; 2 Corinthians 12:5-10; Ephesians 1, 2:8-10, and 3:14-20; Philippians 4:6-7 and 10-13; Colossians 2:8-10

I’m here

You need only to have faith, dear daughter.

You need only to listen and receive what to do.

It’s through faith you will have this.

No rushing.

No hurrying.

No worrying.

Just believe me.

Just come forward with me and

Take a step.

It will lead to me and

All I have for you.

It will be one step together.

It can only be done

With faith.

So believe me.

And rest in that.

Don’t overthink.

Don’t analyze.

Don’t hesitate to believe,

To let me lead.

Don’t hesitate to come.

You know my voice.

Listen for it. Be ready.

Stay attuned to it.

Keep your hands and ears and eyes and mind

Open for me.

It’s all good –

All that comes from me.

You know me.

Just listen.

I’m here.

I’m working it out and

I love you.
