Good morning, Papa God!
To know You is to love You! Teach me to know You more deeply and to love You more strongly! To love You is to trust You; and to trust You is to obey You. Teach me to trust You immediately because I trust You completely, love You greatly, and know You deeply. Yes, this will remain my goal for each day of my life. Will I be perfect at it yet? No, but my goal is to be better today than I was yesterday. The more that I am in Your Presence, the more You change me into Your image and the more deeply I know You, love You, trust You, and obey You. Thank You for Your immense patience as I grow into Your likeness and the person You designed me to be. When I am overwhelmed by my sin and mistakes, lead me to the Rock that is higher that I. There is redemption, the forgiveness of my sins through His blood. Thank You for forgiving all my sins and loving me so much. My Papa God, give me the kind of faith that doesn’t give up. In spite of my failures and discouragement, I want to trust You without doubt like a child would. I know that whatever the battle may be, I do not battle alone. You are for me. I know that You will not allow me to struggle with something too big for me to conquer. I am more than a conqueror through Christ in me. I know I can be confident in every battle, in every struggle, and in every temptation because You will give me a victory and an escape route. I know You will rescue me and strengthen me.
My child,
Being perfect as I am perfect is not about being a perfect human being. Spiritual perfection is not, and can never, human perfection. If you could be perfect on your own, I would not have needed to send My Son to save you. But, spiritual perfection is about the perfect relationship with Me that is seen in your life, both big and small aspects, in both health and sickness, wealth and poverty, and everything else that makes up a life. Perfection is all about your relationship with Me, which draws others to Me. It is not about you and what others think of you because of the evidence of Me in your life. It is about seeing Me in you. I know you are not perfect as a human, and that is not My desire. My desire is for your relationship with Me to be perfect. Why do you imagine yourself unworthy? Let go of the past and its mistakes. Leave it in the past where it belongs. My little one, groveling in remorse over sins and mistakes already forgiven by Me will never cure a weakness within you or produce anything good. Quit calling yourself names. Sin is not your master. I AM! I created you to conquer. My love for you never fails, so rest in Me! I know your heart and hear its cry! I know the depths of your sorrow over the current situation. I have heard your cries for help. Rest in Me.
(1 Cor 10:13; Psalm 61:2; Romans 8:31,37; Phil.3:12)
