My child, I will be to you all that you will allow Me to be.
I have prepared spiritual riches for you from eternity. I have promised you the endless abundance of My Kingdom through My prophets and in My Word. I have witnessed to your heart of the deep joys of fellowship by My Spirit. I have given all that I have received from My Father, laying it down, coming in the flesh, living as you, enduring the struggles and temptations, accomplishing your salvation and purchasing your redemption through My suffering and death.
But I offer it to you, My love, I do not insist that you take it. I make it very clear what is needed, but I do not force you to receive it. My promises are conditional, My uncertain one, and you do not have to walk in them if you chose not to. You can only choose to obey Me out of love, and you must desire to follow Me out of devotion.
Remember back to where you came from and recall the chains and shackles forged from rules and laws and locked in place by fear of reprisal and intimidation of pain and loss. I broke the power of that fear, and I do not allow it among My children. My Spirit gives life, abundant, joyful life, and freedom to choose.
I will withhold no good thing from you, My precious one, simply walk uprightly before Me, leaning on Me for strength and following Me in humble devotion.
May you bless the Lord from your innermost being, and praise His holy name, remembering His many benefits, for He has forgiven all your sins, healed all your diseases, redeemed your life from the pit and crowned you with love and compassion, satisfying your desires with good things so your strength is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103

Psalm 103
May you fear the Lord in reverential awe and respectful obedience for He has removed our transgressions, our rebellions, our insubordination, our truculence, delinquency, waywardness, defiance, disruptiveness, intractability, recalcitrance, unruliness, and troublesome behavior as far as the east is from the west because as a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on us since He knows how we are formed, and remembers that we are dust. Psalm 103
May the Lord’s love be with you from everlasting to everlasting, as it is with those who fear Him, keeping His covenant and remembering to obey His precepts, for He has established His throne in heaven and His kingdom rules over all. Psalm 103
May you bless the Lord from the depths of your soul, joining in worship with all His other servants, His messengers and warriors, who are valiant in courage and mighty in power, excelling in strength to execute His bidding, as you obey His spoken decrees and fulfill His orders, hearkening to the voice of His Word.
