A FUTURE AND A HOPE
Lord, here I am again.  How am I to know
Your will?  How am I to hear Your voice
when the choices seem both endless and
nonexistent?  I will say it again--I want
what You want for me.  Will You direct my
way and lead me into Your will?  Is it faith to
stand and see the salvation of the Lord,or is
it faith to continue to walk through a way which
seems to not open believing it will open?  And
if both are faith, how am I to know which to
do?  I need a glimpse of Your vision for me
and a step to take in seeing it fulfilled.
      My hand is always on you, My child, guiding you, leading you even when you do not

know it.  I have brought you to the place where you now find yourself, and it is no accident.  I

know exactly what I plan to do next, and it is of no consequence that you do not know.  Do

you trust Me?  Do you trust Me to make sense of the smallest, most intricate details of your

life?



Walk before Me with a pure heart,

 Love the people I put in your path with a whole heart.

         Remember that your value to Me lies not in what you do, but in who you are.

                 As your days are, so shall your strength be, I promise.



      Will I lie to you?  No, never.  My plans for you are for welfare and not calamity, to give

you a future and a hope.  Do the thing which I have placed before you right now.  Do it with

the joy of My presence and in the strength of My Spirit.  I am well able to part the sea and let

you cross on dry ground when My time is right.  Trust Me.  My grace will never fail you, and

you can do all things through Me.  Only pray always about all things, so that all which

concerns you is brought to Me.  There will I quiet your heart; there will I give you holy

impressions which will be confirmed in ways which you will not miss.  I will make possible

what now seems impossible.  I will turn ashes to beauty, mourning to gladness, imprisonment

to freedom, fainting to praise.  Only give Me your burdens and go in the joy of the Lord which

is your strength.  Believe Me when I say that all My ways are righteous.  I make no mistakes.

I miss no opportunity.  Nothing is outside of My reach.  And I love you more than you know.
