It Is Better To Give It To Me

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  I have you right where I need you to be at this moment, for even though you may not like where you are, this will lead to good things that I have ordained for you.  You cannot see what I see, and this requires trust in Me that I will bring good out of your circumstances.  So, keep on pushing into Me, letting Me help you, hold you, and sanctify you for I have great things planned for you.  Each day you have a choice to either follow My way or your own way.  It is My will that you lay down your rights for yourself so that I may lead in all areas of your life, and it is ok if you choose to go your own way, even if it isn’t the best thing, for all things work for the good that I have waiting for you.  Just know that when you choose your own way, that it may lead you into some bumpy waters.  What am I trying to say?  You have free will, but it is better to give it to Me.  When you do, I Am free to move you where it is best not only for you, but for those around you, for all things are connected.

 

Galatians 2:15-21 (ESV) We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16  yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. 17  But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18  For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19  For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20  I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21  I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. 

My Precious Jewels

The Lord is saying:  My loves, I Am here, and I Am with each of you in ways you cannot yet understand.  When you are with Me in Heaven you will have understanding, but in the earth many things are hidden from you knowing.  You are prone to doubt My ways because of this, especially when things get more and more difficult.  But these difficult times will ultimately show you that I Am with you and I Am guiding you through these dark paths that are before you.  When you walk with Me a long time, then you begin to see My hand in your circumstances, and trust is built.  But even still, you sometimes doubt because you think that because you are My child that everything will be all sunny and pleasant, but this is not the place for that.  You will have that in Heaven, but while in the earth you will have trials and difficulties because these pressures are making you into a precious jewel that I place in My crown for eternity.

Psalm 91:1-16 (ESV) He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2  I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3  For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4  He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5  You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6  nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. 7  A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8  You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. 9  Because you have made the LORD your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— 10  no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. 11  For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12  On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13  You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. 14  “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. 15  When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16  With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
