Through this, you can confess before others your willing and freely given acceptance of His awl through your ear, testifying that He is worthy to be trusted and relied upon as your Master for life and eternity.

May you give room in your heart for the grace of God toward others.

Depend on Me, My child, more and ever more deeply. Do not tally up your strengths and skills, or your contacts and owed favors, or your knowledge and life's wisdom, for these draw you from Me and will fail you when times change. 

Learn of Me, My love, knowing that I change not, and My compassion for you never diminishes. Relinquish your earthly crutch, your emotional dependence, and learn to lean on Me, your Rock, your eternal Support. 

Rise with Me and soar in the spirit, even though you have previously despaired of ever standing again. I know your pain and I have experienced your injury. The same Spirit of the resurrection that opened the grave is Mine to give to you. 

Walk with Me, run with Me, let your heart leap with joy in My presence, for I have wept with you in your sorrows and have carried you when you could not go further. Open the windows of your heart to the winds of My spirit and grow strong in your faith, though your flesh grows weak. Know that more is done in My kingdom by resting in My promises than is ever accomplished by perspiring in your strength. 

I will make you a road-builder, My chosen one, that the way of the Lord, the King's Highway will be made straight and clear, easy to travel for the blind, the lame, and the halt. You will bridge rivers, fill in the low spaces, cut through mountains, and drain swamps that block the pilgrim and hinder the searcher. 

Great and mighty projects will I do through you as you choose to release the supports that bind you to the earth and learn to lean totally upon Me. Come, My child, take the step of faith into My arms.

May you hold the things of God in reverence and acknowledge His holiness through your obedience. Matthew 23

Matthew 23

May you honor the Christ within others, valuing and encouraging the saints of God, receiving with humility the spirit and the word of God from the least of those who follow the way of love. Matthew 23

May you allow yourself to be gathered with others together in the Lord, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and may you give honor to those who come in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23

May the Lord, your Rock of safety, help you as you plead with Him, lifting your hands to heaven and imploring His help, for if He were to refuse you help, you may as well give up and die. Psalm 28

May the Lord make a distinction between you and those who are dragged away to the punishment they so richly deserve for speaking cordially to their neighbors as an angel of light while harboring malice in their hearts, caring nothing for God or what He had done or what He has made, therefore He will dismantle them like old buildings, never to be rebuilt again.

May you praise the Lord, Who is your strength and shield from every danger, for He has heard your pleadings for mercy as you trusted He would, and you have been helped, therefore joy rises in your heart until you burst out in songs of praise to Him. Psalm 28
