Learn of Me, My child, and in all your learning, obey.
Grow in knowledge of the Word, My studious one, and neglect not to walk it out.
Wait before Me in the spirit, My devoted one, for all that I have for you, then once you have My provision, My leading, My guidance, go forth in the understanding and assurance that I am with you.
Rest in My promises as your shelter during the stormy darkness when no man can work, then go forth with joy as calves from the stall when the Son rises with healing in His wings. Walk in My righteousness and speak with My wisdom and act in My love so that others may know that you have been with Me and waited on Me and listened to Me.
As you fellowship with Me in My light, you will take that light with you when you have fellowship with each other, sharing that light. In yourself, there is no light, but as you draw near to Me, the blessed and only Sovereign One, Who alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light, the carnal nature diminishes and your renewed mind flourishes as you receive and put on the mind of Christ.
Quiet yourself before Me as a weaned child, adding to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love; for as you learn of Me how to win mastery over your own vessel, you will no longer be ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of Me.
Learn of Me so that you can submit to Me, for then you can be My hands outstretched, open and forth-giving, always about the business of the Father.

John 19
May you make the Lord your refuge and shield, putting your hope in His word and shunning the advice of evil and double-minded people, so that you may keep the commands of the Lord. Psalm 119
May you always have regard for God’s decrees, which sustain you according to His promise so that you will live, and uphold you according to His power so that you are delivered for, though the Lord rejects all who continually stray from His decrees and discards the persistently wicked like dross, because you love His statutes and stand in awe of His laws, your hopes will never be dashed. Psalm 119
May you do what is righteous and just, for God will not leave you to the mercy of your enemies or abandon you to those who are slanderous, but He will ensure your well-being and bless you as you labor in His service, backing you up by confirming His Word as you speak it into the lives of those He leads to you. Psalm 119
