Recognize the Gift

Recognize the Gift

My child, indeed, I have placed a gift in front of you. But it is you who must reach out to open and unwrap it.
You must first recognize that it is a gift. You look at the pressures and the situations that I have brought upon you, and you want to run, but if you see what these things can produce, then you will push through in excitement and anticipation, knowing that they have come to make you.
So do not be downcast or feel discouraged, but rejoice and praise me because I have found fruit in you and found you worthy to be pruned.
Take this gift that I have set before you then and smile from ear to ear. As you see this gift for what it is, if you see the fruit that it will produce in you, you would be glad and rejoice in it.
Perhaps right now, it feels like you are being stretched, but one day you will look back and appreciate this gift. You will see that through it, YOU have been made into a gift that I can present to others.
So embrace it and lean on Me for all things. I will see you through to the end and you will surely see your reward, says the Lord. Amen.
