| THESE THINGS ARE YOURS |
||||||||||||||||||
| Lord, to you I give my praise, to You I give my life. You are the breath of my life and the sustainer of my soul. I wish I knew how to offer You what You deserve. It grieves me to know how quickly I am distracted from You and how far I can fall from that close fellowship which we share. It is my heart's desire to remain in perfect union with You at all times. I long for the day when that becomes reality. |

| It is reality, My child. Here and now you are held by My love in that place for which you long. Even when you fall into sin, you are not pulled away from Me, for I know your heart. I know that you will come running back to Me, for I inhabit all of time, and I already see it. I already provided for it. I already died and rose again for it. Do not castigate yourself for your humanity. I was human, too. I know how it feels to be tired, to feel weak and unequal to the task. The resources of the Godhead were Mine, it is true, but they are yours also. I give Myself to you for your life and your walk. I see every step and turn of the way, and I make provision to meet every need. You must begin to see what is already yours and count on it. You will fail to enter that level of life and rest only if you fail to believe and step into it. You are seated with Me in heavenly places. You are given authority over the powers of this world. You have all you need for life and godliness. You are the head and not the tail. I wait on your prayers to accomplish My will in the affairs of this world. You are precious to Me. You are in the beloved. You are Mine. I am yours. I rejoice over you with shouts of joy; do you ever hear Me? Never forget who you are and all that is yours. I know you do not feel these things are true, but they are true because I cannot lie. So trust Me and not your feelings. Begin to take action on what I say is true, and you will see that it is true. Be encouraged, take heart, be strong and very courageous, for I am with you, not only forever, but now in this situation. I have prepared and completed all that is needed for you to fulfill all My desire for you. So walk and pray and work with confidence that because of Me nothing you undertake will be in vain. It is not your good works or effort that sustains our union; it is Me and My shed blood. You are fully redeemed and kept by My power. Know Me, and draw peace from the knowledge that I am holding you. I am always nearer than your next breath. |
