Good Morning, Papa God!
I awaken to a new day. What does today hold for me? I am asking because I do not see or know of anything that my life will influence, impact, or change. I am looking to You for guidance and direction. I am so lost as to the purpose of my life in this season. But… we have had this conversation many times in the last five years. You know where I am physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. So … here I am! Ready to be used when You think I am ready to be used. In the meantime, I will do what I can do and know to do – keep “in shape” at all levels. Not in my own strength am I able to do it! Please help me, Papa God, by Your Spirit’s strength living in me. I can do nothing good without You. Without You, I am lost and struggling, a rudderless ship in the midst of the storms of life. As I turn my focus upon You, as I look upon Your face, the things of this world fade away and become dim as You pour out Your grace. I am Your child! Yes, I am!
My child,
Understand what My will for you is. This is My will for you – your sanctification, purifying you; it is My ongoing process of purging all unrighteousness, rubble removal, rebuilding and strengthening you. This a daily process within you that will continue until My divine plan for your life is complete. As you have begun to to understand this fully in these past 5 years, and have surrendered to My Way and My Will, I have been doing just that within you – purging unrighteousness, removing rubble, rebuilding and restoring, strengthening and deepening your faith. The more you surrender to My will, the faster we move through the sanctification process. I know you think this is a painfully slow process, My child. But realize this, there are many deep wounds this world has left upon you; and our enemy Satan has been using those to rob you of the use of the gifts and talents I gave you and to steal your joy. I give life abundantly, now and forever. Yes, My child, there are still those pockets of pain from the emotional abuse of this world that have been in you for a very long time. It would be unwise of Me to remove and heal them all at one time. Why? Because they have become an intricate part of the fabric of your life, your identity. I am slowly and steadily as the Master Builder of your life, replacing those pockets of pain with those I originally designed for you. This is My sanctification process, but be patient with yourself as well. Trust Me with every fiber of your being, in both good times and difficult times.
(John 10:9-10; Eph.5:17; 1 Thess.4:3; Phil.1:6)
