May you apprehend the truth of God's acceptance of you, as you are, without conditions, for you have no deeds, or actions, or words, or goods that will enrich His wisdom or increase His wealth. Genesis 32
May you exhibit the same persistence and determination in pursuing your relationship and developing greater intimacy with God as Jacob did when wrestling all night. Though you will undoubtedly give up things you used to do you will inevitably develop spiritual gifts you never knew just as Jacob's name was changed to Israel to announce the change in his nature. Genesis 32
May you not follow the guidance from or seek the protection of the world, however well-intentioned, but be led by the Spirit of God to the shelter and the peace He has prepared for you. Genesis 33
May you perceive that although the world hungers for the material results of God's blessings, and is even willing to take on the outward appearance of your walk with God to earn them, that does not make them partakers of His covenant and will lead to pain, suffering, confusion and death without the reality of the touch from God's Spirit and the miracle of new birth through the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Genesis 34
I am here with you in all that you encounter and in all that you experience. I understand what you feel and I know what you think. I am no stranger to these things, for I have walked this way Myself, and I know first-hand what the path entails.
Take heart, and be encouraged, for I bring wisdom and protection with Me for your needs. I lighten your load, even though you do not realize it, for how can you know the crushing burden you would carry if I was not there? I shield you from attacks that you never see, setting My angels guard around you, that you will not be overcome.
Do not be discouraged by what you deal with, My child, for I am here, providing the strength for the next step, if you will turn to Me, look into My face, and be lifted by the love you will see that I have for you.
Although I never leave your side, you must keep your heart turned toward me. I will never leave you, but you can be distracted by the circumstances around you, becoming persuaded I am not within reach. Do not believe the lie, and do not make choices based on your feelings.
I am here, beside you, now. That is My Word, which is Truth. I will not leave you nor forsake you. That is My promise, which will not be broken.
Reach out your hand for Mine and receive My strength; look into My eyes with yours and know My love for you.
You must walk the path before you, but I will see that you make it.
May you comprehend that, just as the generation to whom Jesus came as a Child and a Savior, a Shepherd and a Redeemer did not recognize or receive Him unless they were willing to heed the message of John the Baptist, so the generation to whom Jesus will return as the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Alpha and Omega, the Warrior-King Who executes judgment on the last defeated foe, will not be received or recognized by Him unless they are willing to heed the message of the Spirit and the Bride. Matthew 11
May you realize that all authority has been given and committed to the Son by the Father, and no one knows the Father except those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him, to those who are filled with childlike gratitude, who reverence Him with childlike awe for what He has done, who approach Him with childlike confidence in what He says, unlike those who think themselves wise and clever, trying to grasp the reality of God's spiritual truths through applying mental precision intelligence. Matthew 11
May you appreciate that whosoever will may come to Christ Jesus. In His presence, all who will, can receive rest from the daily load of weary care, and comfort from the life-long burdens of guilt and shame. He is gentle and humble of heart, offering a yoke that fits perfectly, making His burden easy to bear as He teaches you to know the Father. Matthew 11
May you depend upon the Lord to be your safe refuge when evildoers try to put you to shame and confound the plans God gives you, for God is with those who love Him. Psalm 14
May the Lord be your refuge when evildoers attempt to frustrate the plans of the righteous and the poor in spirit. Godless fools talk themselves into believing there is no God, committing vile deeds and becoming altogether corrupt, seeking to devour God's people as men eat bread, never calling on the Lord. Having looked down from heaven to find any who understand the need to seek God, the Lord will make His abode in the company of the righteous, bringing salvation for His people and restoring their fortunes amid the rejoicing and gladness of His own. Psalm 14
May you understand God's ways, dealing wisely with men and seeking after God, inquiring of Him and requiring Him as a vital necessity in your life, for God is with the generation of those who are upright and in right standing with Him. Psalm 14
May the deep fountains of your soul be broken open by the understanding of God. Proverbs 3:20
