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)
