My Focus on You!

Good morning, Papa God! 

You have told me often that the more I know You and am acquainted with You, the more at peace I will be. And, of course, You are right! The more deeply I know You and am surrendered to Your will and Your way, the more at peace I am within my soul. When I am focused on You, and not the circumstances in which I find myself, the more at peace I am! You have taught me over the years that to know You is to love You, and to love You is to trust You, and to trust You is to obey You! I actually learned to do this more by applying this to myself – backwards! If I am not obeying You, it is because I don’t trust You. If I am not trusting You, it is because I am not loving You as I should. If I am not loving You as I should, it is because I don’t know You. This is really how You turned my life and thoughts around to understand where I was deficient. So, I began to focus on You and to know You deeply, to become intimately acquainted with You, to know Your Person more strongly and more deeply. I want to be that person who reflects the deep joy and peace that is experienced by knowing You. I want to be passionate about You, my God, by giving my life to You (just as Jesus did for me) until I breathe my last on this earth.

Good morning, My child!

You are a sweet fragrance of Christ wafting out as a gentle breeze into the world. Your determined purpose, since becoming My child through your faith in Jesus, has been to know Me deeper with each passing day and year. We are indeed intimately acquainted. Soon you will see Me face-to-face, and you will know Me as fully as you are known by Me. What a glorious day that will be when your faith in Me will be sight. I have always been with you watching over you wherever you have gone, and I will continue to always watch over you wherever you go. I am your rear guard. Do not look behind. I am your Shepherd, leading you forward. Do not concern yourself with the future. I AM! Live one day at a time in the present. It really is all you can endure without worry and anxiety creeping into your soul. You know Me. You love Me. You trust Me. So, in all you do, obey Me. It is the pathway to peace, love, and joy!
