Do Not Give Up!

Do Not Give Up!

My child, for a long season now you have felt like a fish swimming against the ocean's current. You have felt like you were pushing against rock. The temptation was strong at times to just turn around and go with the flow. You wanted to give up a few times and just abandon what you are doing as a bad idea because it was so hard to keep pushing. You even feel this way today and feel like you just want to drop everything and go down the easier way, and do as everybody else does.

My child I am saying to you today: Do not give up! The road you are on, the current you are pushing against, it is my plan. You are walking on the road that I have chosen for you, says the Lord. You are facing all these difficulties because my ways are not the world's ways. My ways are different and at times they might seem completely illogical to you. But know that what you have heard me speak, and the road you have stepped on, it is of me, you have heard correctly.

Keep on pushing on my child. Just keep walking. I am right there with you. Give up the struggling and the trying to get it right and just walk on this road. Do not push against the current with your own strength, but just surrender to me and my will and accept that I indeed have the best plans for you. As you do that you will feel my strong arm reach in and pull you through. You will feel my presence taking you down this bumpy road a step at a time. I am there for you. I love you. I have never left you and I would never just dump you in circumstances to inflict harm on you.

My child, I know it is not easy not to go with the flow. I know the price is high. But be assured that this is just a small price for the reward that I have for you. Know that my blessing will overtake you in every area of your life. If you commit to my ways and you are prepared to lay your own visions and ideas down, and are prepared to look to me for guidance and not to how others walk, the blessing that will stem from that will be great! The surprises that I have waiting for you are wonderful.

So my child just trust me. Keep going. Let me pull you. Give up the struggle to even figure out what is right and what is wrong. Just trust in me and let me guide you. I love you so dearly my child. Let us walk this road of blessing together, says the Lord.
