Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6, NLT)

I know you hate doing what you don’t see as relevant, but aren’t my plans relevant? Aren’t my plans the best for you?
I know you don’t feel it, but you have to remember the difference between feeling and believing.
You won’t always feel the good things you believe.
You won’t always see them with your human eyes. But your eyes are limited.
Mine are not.
Remember who holds you and sees ahead of you, behind you, beside you, all around you.
Daughter, I see all, and I know what is best for you.
I know there is so much you don’t agree with, and there is so much you don’t get excited about like the others. And I know there is so much you don’t understand.
But remember that I am not training you to think and see like everyone else.
Daughter, you will always feel like an outcast in this world.
But that’s okay. You’re not supposed to be a part of this world. You abide in it, but only through me.
Remember Jeremiah? I put my words in his mouth. Do you think he thought like everyone else? No.
Daughter, my daughter, my chosen, my love, you have so much more than any of them.
You have me with you.
You have a real promise, not a castle in the sand. That castle gets washed away as soon as a wave comes. What you have will never be washed away.
You’re building a better foundation. It will survive floods and winds and rain and snow and anything that comes its way.
It is firm, and it is real, not made of sand that deteriorates before your very eyes.

You do not know how much is ahead, but you can trust that it’s good.
Clear your mind from the worries you’ve had. Give them to me.
I know what to do with them. Daughter, you don’t, and that’s okay. It’s not up to you to fix.
I move and work in hearts. I open doors, and the right ones. All you have to do is listen and prepare your heart.
To prepare your heart means to know me better. See how I’m working and what I’m doing.
Pray and listen.
Ask and don’t be afraid.
Seek and keep seeking.
Knock if you think it’s the right door.
If I’ve led you there, it is.
And remember that I know your heart. I know you.
The enemy is telling you this is all silly, but that’s what he does. Don’t listen. Stay focused on me.
I’ve given you a heart to share, to love, to work, to gather others who know me and who will know me.
Trust that with me, you’ll get it right. On your own, you won’t.
You need me, and I’m so glad you do because I love you.
Yes, I’ve said it before, but I cannot say it enough! I’ll say it forever. I’ll say it over and over because you need to know it.
With my love, you are provided for, you are rescued and saved, you are exactly where you need to be, doing exactly what you should do to bring me glory.
When you bring me glory, others will know. Others will have doors opened. Others will know healing and be strengthened.
Others will know I am here.
It’s okay if you don’t get it right the first time. I am patient.
Your potential far outweighs any “trouble” you think you are. You are no trouble.
Do you think you are too difficult for me? No. I delight in being with you, teaching you, showing you, seeing you, holding you,

Daughter, I am doing things differently than you might think.
This is the way I work, and it’s good. You can trust me.
I love you, and I give you good gifts. I am a good Father.
Just keep writing, and let the pen speak. I made you to hold the pen, to let it move as the Spirit wills, to speak and tell about me and my love in creative and beautiful ways.
Do you know that I laid everything out for you?
I chose your grandparents and your mother and father to help you know your place in my kingdom.
It’s not conventional, is it?
Who would have known that you were royalty?
You didn’t even know until you were older, but even before you knew, I knew.
I knew you would accomplish great things for me. I knew your potential and your skill. I gave them to you as gifts. I give them to you still, and I have more to give.
Yes, even more.
It’s just begun, child. Just trust me, and keep moving forward.
Moving forward may look different than you think, but you’ll know it’s me working. Don’t be afraid.
Give me that discomfort and dread and don’t take it back, child. Give it to me so it will be gone for good.
The world can do nothing to you when I am with you. And I am with you always, even until the end of the age.
Until then, enjoy days like this, and do not worry.
Write and think and contemplate with me. You know I love when we do.
I made you for this, child. Remember that I made you with a story to tell and write.

Daughter, great things will happen, and you can believe me because I am that I am.
Remember that none is greater, that my glory is greater.
I will help you and teach you and give you all you need.
Do not be afraid, and do not doubt it. I will be with you always.
I am willing.
Yes, you heard correctly. You can believe that, believe me. I am always true. I never lie, never deceive you, never let the enemy take you.
I empower you and give you strength to fight.
Keep resting, child, so you can fight. Rest your mind and heart today to be ready. It will not be easy, but it will be joyful. It will not be possible without the Holy Spirit.
Keep trusting me to show you, and I will. I never fail, never stop speaking to you. I never stop holding you and guiding you and healing you. Do not let fear get in your way.
My will cannot be thwarted. Your will can, and you have to remember that I want what is good for you. I protect you and love you, and you have no need to worry, child.
Let me hold you today and every day in all you do. Let me guide you and help you share my light. Do not be consumed by entertainment, but instead be consumed by love and peace.
Don’t be afraid of being tired. I give you rest for that. Go rest, so you can feel better. I’m healing you, and you don’t need to strive. Go rest, daughter.
We have a lot to do together. I’m excited to do it. Are you?
Take your hand, put it in mine, and come forward with me. I’ll lead you forward, not to death or disaster, but to life and opportunity.
No, daughter, don’t fear. You have nothing to fear. You are armed and protected.

I know you’re not quite sure where to go next, and you don’t want to be false.
Let me guide you. I am never false.
I chose you for this.
I am patient and kind. I love you, and I fill you. I keep the enemy away. He has no dominion. I have all dominion, all authority, in heaven and on Earth and in the realms you do not see.
One day, it will all make sense. But you have to trust me.
Know that I am fighting for you because I love you. I love you too much to let the enemy have you. I love you too much to let your mind be used by him, by the world. Your mind is beautiful, as you are beautiful, because I have made you and filled you.
You are my daughter, and I love you. I am love. I am your love. I am your rescue.
Think of me when you want to let your mind wander. Think of when I first rescued you. Do you remember?
We all celebrated that day, when you came to me, when you saw. You saw real love and what it was. It wasn’t from a man. It was from me. It was me who saved you. It was me who chose you and saw you and said, “Her. I want her.”
You have so much to offer, daughter. You have so much to offer other sisters and brothers and your own family.
With my light in you, you have so much to shine out. With my mercy in you, you have so much mercy to give. With my love in you, you have so much love to give.
Do you see, daughter?
I give you abundance. Give. It’s not something you’ve earned. You’ve only become attuned to it.
Now that you know it, what will you do with it?
This is where great joy is coming. I will open doors. You can trust that I am working.
You don’t want to get your hopes up in case you are wrong. I am never wrong, and you have to believe that.
Trust me, daughter. Trust that I still hold you like the first time I rescued you. Trust that we still rejoice because you belong to us. Trust that I will move you forward, that everything will be fine for you. Just like Moses.
You like to read the old stories, I know. It’s just one thing I love about you. I love your eyes, your smile, your heart, your desires, your wisdom, your strength that comes from me. It all comes from me because you are mine.
Let’s rest in that.
You will never be disappointed with me. You will never be unfulfilled, unrequited, unloved. Just listen. Just rest. I love you. I’m right here.
