Good morning,
I know that you are going through a tough transition, yet I have not forsaken you. This will open up for you a large place, a place where you will begin to trust and lean on Me like never before. As you have shifted, you may think that you have lost loved ones, positions, careers, and even ministries. It is not over, I Am working on something for you. I have always had a good plan for you, and it is My plan that will prevail. I have seen the tears and the heartaches, the times of feeling rejected, or cast away. You were never rejected by Me, no, never. I have waited for you to turn all of your affections and desires to Me. I will be all that you need, but you must renew your love for Me. I will fulfill the longings of your heart and heal your brokenness. I will give you a heart that thinks like Me. You will then see that you have not really lost anything, instead that you have gained more ground in Me. As you begin to shake yourself free from the cares of this world, you will awake to see the new light that has arisen over the obscure places that you have tread upon. I will send men to help you and send you help from on high.
Distractions of this age have tried to occupy my children's thoughts. They are led astray by their thoughts. I have given you a sound mind, but you must keep your mind stayed on Me in order to keep it sound. Many are falling away from Me because they no longer spend the quiet moments with Me in worship. They are careful and busy about many things so that from dawn until the night their thoughts are not towards me. It is My peace that I have given to you in the past that guards your thoughts and your emotions. I say to you, to be concerned about your true Love. I Am the One. Too many lovers make you an unfaithful lover. When was the last time that I was the only One on your mind? I Am a jealous lover, I will not have any other love before Me. Come back to Me with the simple, believing, love that you once had, and I will receive you to Myself and restore to you the joy that you had in serving Me. If not you will miss My next move, you will not be able to see, for your other lovers will detain you and keep your eyes covered. You must come to Me again as a virgin love. Depend on Me, I Am trustworthy.
"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 4:6-7)
"You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love?" (James 4:4-5)
"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." (Jer. 29:11)
Love,
