Good morning, Papa God!
My thoughts seem to be centered on only one thing this morning … doing Your will, not just in the broad, general activity (like “I delight to do Your will, my God”), but in the specific (like “if this cup cannot pass from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done”). I must drink “the cup” that is before me because You have asked it of me. Even though I do not want to do it because it is painful do, I must be willing to do it, to do Your will in my life. For me, this involves “letting go” and realizing that not everything was meant to be, admitting I was wrong about it all along. The key is knowing this, learning from it, letting go, and now … it is about taking the next step forward. As Your Word says, “to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” I know Your will for me in this matter, Papa God. Oh, but the doing of it is so very hard! Only by Your strength can I do this. I am choosing, at this moment on this day, to do Your will. Help with all my tomorrows, which will become my todays, to make the same choice. Knowing me as You do, Papa God, I don’t understand why You love me the way that You do when You are as great as You are. But I am so thankful that You do.
Good morning, My child!
Yes, I love you deeply! I know you down to the last cell in your body. I know your soul and spirit! I know the intentions of your heart. I know what I have asked of you is a very hard thing to do, but it is for your best. Really it is, even if you do not understand how it could be! I need for you to accept and believe this! I only do that which is best for you – always. I am the One who formed you to think, to love, to speak, to feel, to see just like Me. You are made in My image. You are an expression of Me like no other, with an even greater glory yet to be revealed when you are fully perfected in Christ. No one bears the beautiful imprint of your uniqueness like you. This is what you bring to the world. That’s what this “letting go” is all about, My child … perfecting you in Christ to bring a brighter reflection of Jesus to the world. You are a one-of-a-kind uniqueness that I am using to reach 'the world' that is around you. Yes, My child, I am here with you in this hour of need. I am, even now, arranging events that will release you from those inner struggles and conflicting demands. Believe it or not, My child, the worst of this season is already behind you. Rest in Me, and leave the past in the past where it belongs. You cannot change any of it, so let it go and move forward. All I require of you in this moment is to take the next step, holding onto My hand. My child, I do know the desires of your heart, and I know that the greatest of these desires is to love and serve Me. I love you, and My love for you is eternal and never fails.
