May you mourn and feel sorrow for the things that burden God’s heart, seeking in prayer and through the scriptures for the part He has for you to do. Nehemiah 1

Walk with Me this day, My child, in the full knowledge of My grace which grants to you My righteousness. Yield your will to Mine, My true one, and let the Spirit of God align you with the Word of God. Let your desire be conformed to what I desire, and your purpose be set to My purpose. How can we walk together unless we agree on the goal, the destination, the route, even on the pace at which we travel?
I could bring you immediately to the destination, My special one, but you would be so very unprepared for it. The journey we take day to day through this life is simply one of convenience to grant you the time for the inward journey you need to take.
The daily discipline of spiritual exercise and obedience that builds your strength also develops your character, shaping My image upon your heart as you obey Me, and showing your citizenship in My kingdom.
Do not resist the work of My Spirit in your heart, your mind, your every aspect of life, My love, but enjoy the beauty around you as we journey, and let Me pour Myself into you.
Consider how a landowner will dress a choice piece of land according to the vision he can see for it, choosing a hillside to plant a vineyard, removing the rocks from the rows, building a wall about it, digging a pit for harvest that will release the enjoyment of the fruit, laboring long before receiving the actual benefit. Just so do I with you, My precious one, for I see the beauty that can be brought out in your life.
Open your life to Me and allow My Word and My Spirit to saturate your every daypart.
May you retain the place in life that the Lord has assigned you and to which God has called you, for in God, obedience is what counts, not status, and He places you as He wills, so that you may be responsible to Him. 1 Corinthians 7

May you cry for mercy and call for help to the Lord, to Whom be praise, for He shows His wonderful love to you, even when you feel that the enemy has cut you off from God’s sight. Psalm 31
May you be strong and take heart as you hope in the Lord and love Him for He preserves the faithful, but pays back the proud in full. Psalm 31
May you flee from and reject anything which encourages haughty eyes and develops a proud heart, which is the lamp of the wicked, for it is sin; may you seek for and embrace the wisdom and understanding from God, through His Spirit and His Bride, which promotes humble eyes and grows a meek heart, allowing the light of God to shine forth, for it is of faith. Proverbs 21:4
