God is with You!

A new chapter in your life will begin to unfold where the Lord will make you grow steadily and become more powerful than ever before. The Lord will be with you in everything you do. His love and goodness will touch the hearts of those whom you will encounter. His presence will be strong in you as His servant and instrument of grace.

All things work for good because the Lord is always with you. Rely on God's strength. What you cannot do, God can do for you. Even in sin, never did the Lord abandoned you but have patiently waited for you to return to Him. Remember the days past when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a great contest of suffering. You can do all things in Christ who gives you strength!

Afflictions are consolations. You must first fall before you can stand. You must first be sick before you can get healed. No one receives consolation if he is not under the state of affliction. If you are made to give up something which is of value to you, you struggle with God's Will. This kind of reservation limits you to what you have and prevents you from receiving an even more overflowing of God's graces.

Jesus alone holds the power and dominion above all things, and nothing can ever stop the Father's works from being accomplished in Him. Allow Him to take full control of your mind and heart, instructing you on what to do at any given time and situation. He will teach you all that you need to learn in order to attain the fullness of life. 

Reading the scriptures brings you back to being like a child where the Lord teaches you how to walk and talk in accordance with His Word. Each revelation brings joy to your heart knowing and believing that God's loving and caring hand will make you stand, rise up, and grow to be the child He wants you to be.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
