The Lord is saying: My loves, I Am here, and I Am with you. You seek many things in the earth, but they are elusive. You long to have, but you never have all that you want. You strive to get ahead, but your striving has left you weary. These things are the ways of the earth. These are the things that those who do not know Me do daily in order to fill the void within their hearts. This is vanity – chasing after the wind. The only way you will find true peace and fulfillment is in Me. And many who know Me still struggle with these things, trying to get in their own strength, only to be left exhausted and broken. The enemy speaks in many ears, trying to keep My children in the place of want. But today is a new day in the attitudes of those who have been striving, for when you cease striving, then I can move. Heaven is the prize, and My Son is the path. Keep these in view and the longings of your heart will be fulfilled.
2 Tim 2:14-26 (ESV) Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some. 19 But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.” 20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. 21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. 22 So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
