New Life

New Life

As a baby is being prepared to be born, it goes through a time that is very uncomfortable. From feeling safe and secure in its mothers womb, suddenly a pressure it has not known before starts to come on it. It experiences something new as the womb constricts and starts to push it out towards the world.
Although this is a season of pressure, the result is a birth into something new. The child did not know the reality of life until it took its first breath and in the same way, you will only experience my life as I bring the pressures needed to release you into it.
So do not become discouraged if you begin to feel the world press in on you from all sides, because it is not meant to harm you, but to bring you to a new place of life! Although the pressures seem intense, they are but for a moment. So do not be discouraged my child, but see that I have good plans ahead of you.
If you suddenly feel the pressures and a new intensity come on you, it is because I mean for you to be tried in the fire for a season to bring out the gold. So often though it is easier to look at the things that you lose. To look at the dross that is burned off or at the safety of the womb that you have had to leave behind.
Instead of looking behind you or at the pressures, look at me instead my child. Look at my face and you will find the life you are looking for. Look at me and you will find the resurrection that you need. As you have prayed, I have answered. So embrace the pressures and look forward to the good things that they are leading you to.
See the goal and the blessing ahead, because these pressures will last only a moment. However, once you reach the goal, you will not remember the pressures any more. You will not remember the struggle any more. You will only see and rejoice in the new life and blessing that I have brought you into, says the Lord.
