of heart not to understand my
sin and foolishness? Your gift of
discernment in me sees things that
are wrong, but it has been easier
to justify myself and make my point
than to pray for Your correction and
revelation. I'm not even sure in myself
if I want things corrected, or if I want
to see it all unravel and fall apart. How
we all stand in need of Your merciful
correction that will not destroy, but
rather purify.
greater, and I have placed that deposit within you. Do not give the enemy of your soul an
opportunity to destroy you by allowing anger. You don't call it anger, but that's what it is. You
are angry at Me because I haven't done things the way you see that they need to be done.
You want things to be right, but I have allowed them to be wrong. You are angry at those who
are wrong and see no need to repent or obey. You are angry at yourself for not being
content in the midst of so many personal blessings. You are angry at not being able to make
your own decisions as you see best.
Bring your anger to Me; let Me take it. I will put it on My Son along with all the other things
that are not right. He has paid in full for all of it. Let His payment be enough, and let Me
decide what is best for you and the people around you.
My Son died that the souls of men might be set free to love and obey Me, free from sin,
free from religion and hypocrisy. Do not think for a moment that it is a lack of holy passion that
causes Me to allow the wrongs that you see. I make you a witness and participant in the
messiness of life, sometimes to use you as a part of the solution, sometimes to grow in your
own heart just the kind of fruit that only these conditions can produce. I may allow these
wrongs simply to grow and bring dimension to your own heart. The passion I have given you
is a part of that process, so never abandon it.
Cultivate thankfulness in every contrary situation. Trust Me for your own heart and
delight in Me. Yes, be passionate that others know and serve Me, but be more passionate
that you love Me and receive My love every moment. For You are My garden, and I am your
Keeper; I water you every moment. I guard you night and day that nothing should damage
you. I delight in you, and I am the faithful vinedresser who alone can bring forth the fruit you
were created to produce. Let Me do My work.
