There is always sufficient abundance for your needs as you seek Me and desire to know Me better, nearer, more intimately. Mistakes and missteps made in your approach to Me are forgiven and corrected as My guidance is accepted with a humble heart and a contrite spirit.
Fear of man departs as you trust in Me and accept My love, for you will see that My embracing arms, so tender and gentle to your wounded heart, are strong to defend like shielding walls against any who would touch you, My treasure, without love as their motive.
Anchor your heart in Me, My beloved, and be settled in your spirit. I will send you out to do My work, but you must wait on Me.
Do not let the perceived needs draw you from My sheltering wings to go on your own or do in yourself, for that is a distraction. Be My sent-one, and see My Spirit and My Word accompany you to teach all nations, baptizing them in My name, and make disciples.
I do not send you to settle disputes and divide inheritances and to be, unto them, God, but to point them to Me that they may have their needs met through their relationship with Me.
Stay within My sheltering arms, My loved one. Do not wander off on your own, but go where I send you, and you will never be out of My loving sight or My protective reach.
