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

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 you reflect in faith and be encouraged in your consideration so that when you have communed with God and been accepted by His grace, the next gray and cloudy day will not give cause for concern or doubt, for the Lord would not give you promises of His favor if He planned to forsake you, or have given you the victories in your soul if He intended you to be consumed in His wrath.

My child, do not turn away from the bitter cup that is before you.
It is yours, and yours alone, to take and drain. No one can do it for you, and no one can change its contents. Each of My own have their own bitter cup; some delay and put it off, but others take it up and drain it immediately. This is the remedy, the prescription, given to you by Me as your Great Physician.
Who would willingly seek out bitterness for their food and drink? But who, once they understand their sickness, would delay the remedy which the doctor assigns? The cup contains the bitterness of loss and of conflict, for that is the nature of the illness.
For some, it will be the loss of loved ones or the separation of family and friends – anything that will hinder your full attention and willing service; but only what is required for you to move them from first place in your heart before Me to the place of obedient service to Me.
For others it is the loss of personal options – time, space, finances, choice; yielding up your “control” and laying down your “rights” in submission to My will.
For many, it will be conflict, for as I begin to give you light, you will find that battles ensue, before, during, and after, as you begin to walk it out before you can minister it.
The enemy does not willingly allow you to peacefully enter into the kingdom, and you frequently find you must take it by force. But I Who have called you am Faithful, and I will carry on the work of sanctification, preserving your whole spirit, and soul, and body, blameless unto My coming in My kingdom.
I bring you into My garden to enjoy My beds of spices and fragrances and know the joys and delights of My love.

May you recognize and honor the glory of God, as John did, which is to take away the sin of the world and to bear sin for us, and from us, pardoning all who turn to Christ, the Lamb of God, sparing the sinner at the cost of His Son rather than taking away the sinner as in the old way. John 1

May you hear the word of repentance spoken, and turning in faith to Christ, desire to know the heart of the Lord, and accept Him Who knows your heart, and loves you enough to accept you as you are, even as He loves you too much to allow you to stay as you are. John 1

May the Lord hear your cry for help, and not hide His face from you when you are in distress, but in compassion, turn His ear to you and answer you quickly, for He sees how your days pass away quickly like smoke and your heart is blighted and withered like grass so that you lose your appetite and are reduced to skin and bones, lying awake through the night groaning, and taunted all day by the enemies who rail against you. Psalm 102

May the Lord respond to the prayer of the destitute and honor their plea, arising in compassion to show them favor, for He sits enthroned forever and His renown endures through all generations, causing the nations to fear His name, and all the kings of the earth to revere His glory.Psalm 102
