Know This

Know this. Whatever road you are traveling, whatever hardship you are facing, whatever pain is in your soul, I care.

You are My precious child, and I love you endlessly. I love you when you are behaving well. I love you when you are not behaving so well. I love you.

I am with you, even when you cannot see Me. When you do not hear Me. When you cannot feel My presence, I am still there with you. Every minute, day or night, I am watching over you. There is nothing you think, say or do that I am not aware of.

When you long for more of Me, bow down and pour out your heart to Me, child. Seek Me in My Word, I am always found there, and I am with you as you read of Me there.

The enemy tries to make you think I don’t see or care about your life and your pain, but that is a lie. I have always cared. I will always care. Sometimes I cannot answer our requests of Me immediately for reasons you know not, but it is never because I do not care.

Know that the second a prayer is lifted up to Me, I set about sending the answer.

Believe.

Matthew 28:20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Joshua 1:9: Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.


John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

  1. Joseph's betrayal in Genesis Chapter 37 and 39 comes to my mind:

    [26] And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood? [27] It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words. [28] And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.

    [1] And Joseph was brought into Egypt, and Putiphar an eunuch of Pharao, chief captain of the army, an Egyptian, bought him of the Ismaelites, by whom he was brought. [2] And the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man in all things: and he dwelt in his master' s house, [3] Who knew very well that the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper in his hand. [4] And Joseph found favour in the sight of his master, and ministered to him: and being set over all by him, he governed the house committed to him, and all things that were delivered to him: [5] And the Lord blessed the house of the Egyptian for Joseph' s sake, and multiplied all his substance, both at home, and in the fields.
    [6] Neither knew he any other thing, but the bread which he ate...

  4. Glynda,

    I was very down today, feeling Our Lord so far from me on this special day of Holy Thursday, then, I read the message you received.

    Thank you dear sister,


    Your Catholic friend,

    Mary

  5. This message echoes what is in Psalm 139. Few of us truly comprehend the length, width, height and depth of the love of God toward each one of us. He numbers every one of your hairs and cares for every minute details of your life as if you are the only person in the world. When this revelation came to David, he was overwhelmed in amazement. (Ps 139: 6)
    While God loves the world, His love toward you is very personal and private. That is why He will look for that one lost sheep and leave another 99 behind because there is only one of you in this world so you are irreplaceable. When the Lord is knocking at your door, He is seeking to dine with you alone (Rev 3:20).
    Draw near to Him as He is anxious to embrace you when you turn to Him. While the prodigal son was drawing near to his father, He ran to him, hugged him and kissed him before the son had a chance to clean himself up. Don’t let your sense of unworthiness hinder you from His wholehearted embrace.
    Cultivate a life of living in His presence continuously (Ps 16:11, 105:4, Acts 2:28). This is the ONE THING Jesus told Martha and the ONE THING David sought. (Ps 27:4,8) Few are after the heart of God as David did. The love thirsting God is seeking for one who will do the same (2 Ch 16:9). Those who seek Him in this late season will be in the only safe place at the great and dreadful day of the Lord. (Ps 91)

  6. This is a very encouraging word for this time. I am challenging myself to do the right things in career, academically, relationships, and how I spend my time. I often feel alone because I'm using the word of God and the feelings of his guidance to lead me. I don't have a lot of people who understand the importance of these choices. They all lead to bigger things, and I just need to get my momentum up for things to be easier.

    I agree, "The enemy tries to make you think I don’t see or care about your life and your pain, but that is a lie." I keep wondering if God sees the details. I heard the radio show and felt like the word of knowledge was for me. I've had many dreams about how a relationship in my life is connected to many spiritual issues, as well as having many people involved. I've only seen glimpses of how much is involved in my choices. In December a Christian counselor prayed over me and my situation, she had a word for me that I had already been struggling with for about a month. She said I was to be a light to my family and to my friend...and not to get discouraged because I was young. That I needed to work on spiritual warfare (the enemy trying to deceive me)and do my research on knowing what I believe.

    I was disappointed by the word because I already knew it and thought that other details of my situation were more important. But God didn't open my eyes to deal with things in that order.

    Anyways, the person who I love is going through as much or more then me. I see God working to save...it all feels so much bigger then myself, sometimes I feel the lie that God is just using me as a pawn in his game to get His will done (but that He doesn't care about how passionate I am about these things)...I know God doesn't tempt anyone and that he wouldn't tease me with a strong sense of love as I do his will. I feel I am on the right path, and that he does care about my life...that I can trust him for comfort.
