My Beautiful Daughter,
Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. For I AM The Lord Your God, The Holy One of Israel, Your Savior. You are precious in My eyes, honored and I love you.
Dear one, I will never leave you or forsake you! Put your trust in Me, because I am good, and completely trustworthy. Trust My plans for you, because My plans are perfect. There’s so much you don’t know and that you can’t see – but I do. Trust in Me completely as you rest in Me.
Don’t lean on your own understanding – your own perspective. Look to what is unseen; to the Eternal. That means fixing your eyes on Me in all things. Delight yourself in Me, My daughter, and I will give you the desires of your heart. Trust My timing, because it is perfect.
Bring Me your burdens – your heartbreak. Let Me take them from you. You were never meant to carry them. I am your Burden-Bearer. Let Me remove the yoke of slavery, and replace it with My yoke – My yoke is easy and My burden is light. It is made specifically with you in mind. Cease striving and know that I am God. Look to Me for your every need, and I will give you My perfect peace.
Come to Me, My dear one. I delight in you! I long to have you look to Me – I love when you spend time in My presence. Let Me show you My great love for you. It will be refreshment to you, and strength for the journey. There are so many distractions in this world – even the good things. But only one thing is truly necessary. Choose the good portion, which will not be taken away from you.
Don’t be afraid to ask Me for the deepest longings of your soul. Bring everything to Me; the anxious thoughts; the fears about what tomorrow will bring. I go before you, as well as walk beside you. I have it – I have you! Ask, trust, and believe – and see My salvation. I will redeem what the locusts have eaten, and what the enemy has stolen. Trust in Me and I will make your paths straight.
I am washing over you, in waves of love, cleansing you of unbelief. Be brave, My precious daughter. I am right here, even when you can’t sense Me.
Come away, My love. I am here, always.
The Lover of Your Soul
♦This was a word that flowed the other day, as I was thinking of a friend that I wanted to encourage and bless. Afterwards I realized it was really for all of us. I hope it speaks to you as much as it spoke to me!
