| I AM BUILDING MY CHURCH |
||||||||||||||||||
| Thank You, Lord, for the work You're doing in my heart. I sense a healing that I have longed for, but not known how to arrive at. Of course, it was something I was never able to arrive at. It had to be Your work. Thank You for the grace to be wiling to let go of my right to my conviction and let Your life give me life. |

| My child, I always said I was willing to do all in you that you could not do yourself. It delights My heart that you have allowed Me and trusted Me to begin a work which I also promise to finish. My love for you is everlasting, deep, strong, and without limit of time, amount, or conditions. Just trust Me, and bring Me your heart without reserve or question. Let Me worry over the endless dilemmas which you see. It is all My work. I am building My church, and I see the finished product--perfect, without spot or wrinkle. That's the way I see you, too, you know. You are covered in My righteousness, cleansed by the blood of My Son, and filled with My very own Holy Spirit by which We all live in you. You are My temple, and I delight in you. Don't struggle to think correctly; just abide in Me and in My love. There you will know My heart for the world around you. Where you see sin, suffering, error, or injustice, cry out to Me for My mercy and for My will to be done right there. Trust Me to work through you and through your prayers. Never stop praying. I hear you always and want to use you to work out My will and bring My kingdom and blessing to the world. Delight your heart in My presence and in My praise. I will fill your heart and life with the sweetness of My presence, and it will flow from you to others like an ever-emptying, ever-filling river. Don't debate; just trust that I see it all, the beginning from the end, and I know what I'm doing. I will bring My kingdom right where you are, and I will do a new thing that if you would have been told of it, you would not have believed it. But I will do it, and you will see it. My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. I can do all things. Rest in Me. Abide in Me. Trust Me. Lay aside yourself. I'll do the rest. |
