My will for you and for your life

Though there will be darkness, joy will come in the morning. Though there will be hard and difficult times, they will not last forever but will pass in time. These difficult and trying times will not be worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in and through you as you are continually changed and transformed little by little, day by day.

 (1)

 

Though there is discomfort, and even pain, there is also an awakening and birthing happening within you to set you free from limits of the past, and enable you to walk in new levels of maturity, competency, activity, and leadership in all the things I have called you to pursue.

 

Though there will be times of confusion, I will guide you through them. These difficult and confusing times may last longer than you want, longer than you think they should, but nevertheless I will guide you through them, and they will not continue forever. I am the author and perfecter of your faith, life, path, and destiny in me, and none of these things can be changed or swayed, for I have set them in motion, and they will surely be accomplished at the time I have scheduled them to be completed

While you are required to persevere day after day, year after year, know I have the end in mind, and am working all things out for your good, in your time of blessing soon to come. Let me encourage you today to walk by faith, not by sight. Continue to put one foot in front of the other as you move forward in the direction I have called you to. Though you will not always know or understand everything fully, know and trust I am guiding and shepherding you to the place I have for you, because this is my desire, and this is my will for you and for your life.

Knowing and experiencing fullness and freedom

There is so much freedom in me. There is so much liberty in me and in the pursuit of what I have for you. At times your natural mind does not comprehend my ways, or my plans, or my timing, and so you see me and my ways, as limiting you, hindering you, or holding you back. But this perspective is not true for your full potential and capacity, together with the fullness of your desires, will only be satisfied and found in me.

 (1)

 

It is in union with me you, in harmony with my plans, in alignment and obedience with my ways and timing, you will be fully satisfied in every way. There is no source of true, lasting satisfaction apart from me, outside of me, or without me. I have come to give you life, to bring you a new way of life, and to do so abundantly.

 

Though you misunderstand my ways and see them as limiting, you will find as you allow yourself to receive my leadership that nothing could be further from the truth. My ways will bless you, not harm you. My ways will cause you to prosper, not to suffer. My ways will spawn abundant life, not create a meager existence. My ways will honor you, not exploit you. My ways will deliver you into freedom, not shackle you in chains.

 (2)

 

So open your heart to trust me, my ways, and my timing, for as you receive my leadership and follow all I have for you, you will experience more joy, freedom, and bliss than you have in days past, and even more than you ever thought possible. These are my plans for you, to see you flourish and truly prosper, and see you walk, abide, and possess your success.

 (3)

 

I am that loving father, wanting the best for my children, willing to give you the very most and the very best. As you embrace this truth and abide in this reality you will come to know and experience the fullness of all the freedom I have for you.
