My Eternal Presence

The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you, and My love for you is absolute.  There is no stronger bond in My created universe than My love for My children, and though you are hindered from experiencing in full while still in the earth, I still view you as absolutely lovely for I already view you in your eternal state with Me, which is perfection.  Man strives for perfection in many pursuits; your job, your bank account, your appearance, your friendships with others, and many other ways, and you fall short of what you long for.  But soon, My loves, you will experience unlimited perfection in your lives.  This is the time when you are called Home to Me and you will see Me as I truly am as well as finally seeing yourselves as I do.  So, when you are struggling in some area, turn to Me and I will help you by showing glimpses of My love for you.  There are times when you view a sunset and it hits differently because I know that you needed encouragement at that moment.  That gentle breeze that caresses your cheek is My hand holding you lovingly.  And that bird that lands on a limb before you and looks at you is Me revealing My presence with you.  I do these things to remind you whose you belong to, and that I Am an eternal presence with you.

 

John 1:1-18 (ESV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2  He was in the beginning with God. 3  All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4  In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7  He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8  He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. 9  The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10  He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11  He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12  But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13  who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15  (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16  For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17  For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18  No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

Journey to Wisdom

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  Each of you are precious to Me, My loves, and I will never leave you nor forsake you.  Some days you may feel that I Am distant, but this is Me calling you to seek Me at a deeper level, for the deeper you go with Me, the more precious the treasures are for you, for you see Me from a different perspective.  When a child of Mine begins their journey with Me, there is a “honeymoon” phase where you are all about Me and you tell everyone around you about this new relationship that you have with Me, and this is a beautiful thing.  But then you begin to learn more about Me through My word and then you suddenly feel overwhelmed at what you find.  You begin to realize that there is a lot to be learned, and this becomes a burden of sorts for you.  But I Am with you every step o the way, and there then comes a time when My wisdom is imparted into the depths of your soul and you become a mature child of Mine.  This is what a life looks like when you walk with Me intimately.  Each of you have a different path that is as different as each of your personalities, and this means that you are a living stone that is perfectly tailored to fill that specific place in My living house that will only be complete when you fill it.  This is My Kingdom, and you have a very important part in it all.

 

1 Peter 2:1-12 (ESV) So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2  Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3  if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4  As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5  you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6  For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” 7  So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” 8  and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. 9  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10  Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 11  Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12  Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 

(Heb 5:12-14; James 1:5; Phil 3:12-14; Eph 2:19-22)

This Is The Way

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  My loves, this is a day to rejoice, for you have My favor on you, My love on you, and a bright future indeed.  This is an encouragement for your difficult path in the earth, for I see all things.  I see your faithfulness to Me and My ways, and this pleases Me greatly.  I want to show you many things that you already have in Me, and this begins with a vibrant relationship with Me, your Creator, who know everything about you, and what I have planned for you in all your days in eternity.  So when you feel down because things aren’t going as you would like in your day, remember that I am watching over you and seeing all that you do, and I Am giving you exactly what you need to live abundant lives.  Focus on Me in all that you do and see My fingerprint on the result, for I Am directing your path.  “This is the way, My loves”, and when you go that way, all is well. 

 

Isa 30:18-21 (ESV)  Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. Isa 30:19  For a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you. Isa 30:20  And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. Isa 30:21  And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
