 I have kept you in the palm of My hand through many attempts from the enemy to try and kill, steal, and destroy your life.

 
Good morning,
 
    I have kept you in the palm of My hand through many attempts from the enemy to try and kill, steal, and destroy your life.  I know that some of My little ones have become discouraged and frustrated by the assaults and the war that seems as if it never ceases.  I have hidden you from the strong assignment to take you out before your time, and Mine.  I have planned for you a good and expected hope, something that you have longed for.  You have tried to accomplish the promise, by gritting your teeth and working in the flesh, by trying to reason out the plan I have.  Now, I encourage you once again to remember that My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  It is not to cause your hope to be deferred, so that your heart becomes weary and sick, no, it has always been to get you to put your trust in Me.  I do not want you to be looking in some distant future for a faraway promise, but being thankful for My everyday supply and care for you, the promises I have fulfilled!  It is because of My fathering heart that you wake up with the strength to arise and take the steps necessary to move toward your destiny, day by day, moment by moment.  I just want to be loved for Who I Am, not for what I can give you.  I want to be appreciated for what I Am doing, yet those gifts and tokens of My love, usually go unnoticed.  My desire is for My children to long to be with Me where I Am, so much so that night and day their cry is for Me to come and receive My beloved.  I desire your longing for the things of this world to become faint and barely noticeable compared to your longing for My Presence.  I wait and long for your whole heart to be like Mine.  There is no need or want that I will not fulfill for those who love Me, just because I Am worthy of your love.  My countenance towards you is one of longing for you to come closer.  I Am not angry or disappointed, I just want your wholehearted love from a pure heart, not one that is full of stipulations.  As if you can only believe My love for you is based upon the things I give and do for you.  I love unconditionally, that is how I must be loved too!   
     Do not worry about what you eat, or wear, your possessions, or, even your desires, for I Am your provider.  This is where the enemy launches his violent attack, when you are weak, tired, angry, discouraged, lonely, these are some of the open doors, for the devil is an opportunist.  He is looking for you to feel that I have neglected to watch over my Word concerning you.  That is why I beckon you to keep your mind stayed on Me, the place of peace and rest.  My Word is governed by the foundation of My love.  I want you to base everything that you do on the foundation of love as well.  This makes you an obedient lover, who does My word in love.  This is surely changing you from the inside and making you more effective outwardly.  So that you then become My poem of love, easily read by a dying and hurting world!
 
    "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matt. 11:28-30)  
 
    "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (Jer. 29:11)  
 
    "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.  If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. (1 John 2:15-17)  
 
    "Come!" say the Spirit and the Bride.  Whoever hears, echo, "Come!" Is anyone thirsty?  Come!  All who will, come and drink, Drink freely of the Water of Life." (Rev. 22:17)

The day is far spent and night is coming and I require My children to begin to work diligently while it is still light.  

 
Good morning,
 
    The day is far spent and night is coming and I require My children to begin to work diligently while it is still light.  Do the things I have called you to do and do them quickly.  You may not think that you are qualified but because I have anointed you, you are qualified and I will bless everything that you are doing and have done.  I will count it a blessing and you will receive the latter day anointing for it. You will have the double portion of the former and the latter anointing to accomplish the work. You will receive the reward laid up that I have for all My children who obey Me.  Those tasks that I have given you may seem small but it causes a whole world to change.  I Am not asking you to do something ordinary, for you are out of the ordinary, set apart for My use, but I Am asking you just to simply follow Me and you will find yourself stepping into the extraordinary. The things that I have called, set, and appointed for you to enjoy in these last days will be different.  I know the way that is why I Am requiring you to lean on Me.  You will have great peace as all chaos breaks out, you will remain in peace because you have put your hands in Mine and allowed Me to lead you to those things that I have called, anointed, and appointed you for this time and in this season.  Looking not at the things that you see, but to Me, I Am the light bringer.  I will illuminate every step that you take. I will become brighter as you rely on Me and not your senses.  I Am up to doing something new, not seen by you or others.  Know that we will do greater works in the days ahead for you have put your trust in Me.  We must do the works that I first put in your hands, for I have counted you faithful in your service to the Kingdom.  Know that your faithfulness will cause you to abound with blessings.
 
    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (John 14:12)
 
    "A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he who makes haste to be rich [at any cost] shall not go unpunished." (Pro. 28:20)
 
    "Thus says the Lord Who made [the earth], the Lord Who formed it to establish it—the Lord is His name: Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand)." (Jer. 33:2-3)
 
    "Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Is. 43:18,19)
 
Love,
