Separated!

Good morning, Papa God! 

I have realized this morning that there have been many times in my life when You have said, “Come aside by yourself to this deserted place and rest a while.” You have called me to come out from the world and be separated, set apart. In this separation times, You have always prepared me for what was to be my next step in my journey of life. In separation, You made me to “lie down,” to rest beside the “still waters.” You restored my soul and led me in Your paths of righteousness. It is where I learned to let You search me and shine Your light on every part of my heart so that I could put aside every anxious thought and hurtful way within me. Sanctifying me is not my idea of what I want You to do for me. It is Your idea of what You want to do for me. When I allow You complete access, whatever the cost, You purify me and change me into the likeness of Jesus.

Good morning, My child!

You do not need to try and become anything because what you already are exactly what is needed for where I am leading you today. Your times of separation in those desert experiences have driven you into My arms. Believe Me, in those times when you felt the weakest, were actually rays of hope beaming out to others who need assurance about Who I AM! In your weakness, I am strong! Remember the words that I spoke to you. Your ministry is in the places where you were broken. Your testimony is in the places you have been restored by My grace and love. So, be thankful My child for your desert places, your times of separation. It is here that I speak to you, restore you, change you, and purify you.
