What Makes You Unique

 

What Makes You Unique

My child just like every body part has its place, so also have I put you in a specific place in my Body. I have not left you out and I have not forgotten about you. Instead I created you and made you into something beautiful. I have given you a clear purpose.
So do not become frustrated because you do not fit in like others. Do not become frustrated because you do not have the same function that others have. For the function that I have given to you is unique, and I have given you a clear shape and place in my body. A Body in the natural does not have three hands, and so in the spirit, I have created each person with a clear picture in mind. Each part looks different and acts differently, however together they are made to flow in perfect harmony.
So do not struggle any longer with what makes you different. Rather see how you can add the uniqueness that I have given you to those around you. Instead of trying to conform, rather see how your strengths can benefit others and cause them to become stronger. For just as the neck supports the head, so also can you support and lift up others. You can use the abilities that I have given to you to minister and reach out. You can stand in your uniqueness and then use it to benefit and advance my Body in this earth.
So stand tall and proud in the strengths and the uniqueness that I have given to you and when you do this, the way before you will suddenly be clear and you will clearly identify the place that I have given to you my child. Amen

The Silence is Sweet






The Silence is Sweet

In a modern world it is hard to find a place where you cannot hear any kind of noise. It is like living next to a busy road. After a while you drown out the sound of the road, but just because you have drowned it out, does not mean that it stopped! In the same way there are many voices and a lot of noise that has made it hard for you to hear my voice.

There are voices all around you telling you what to do, judging your actions and causing you to run in many directions. Over time you get so used to these voices that you start to drown them out and forget that they are there. It is only in the pure silence of my presence that you will realize how much has been coming at you.

For what you do not realize is that all this noise has caused your spiritual ears to become hard of hearing. It makes it more difficult to get into my presence and to receive direction from me. My child, I have not stopped speaking to you. Instead all the other noise around you had drowned out my voice.

So find a moment to come to me today and to sit in the silence for a little while. I do not need you to perform or even to say anything. I do not need you to try to put on a show or prove your worthiness to me. Instead I only desire for you to run to the safe harbor of my presence and to quiet all the other voices. Then in the silence, you will begin to sense my spirit afresh. You will begin to hear my voice clearly again and receive hope for your future. For it is only in the silence of my presence that you will receive the peace and hope you need. So come to peace now. Taste the sweetness of my silence and know that I am here to fill you once again with my peace says the Lord. Amen

Rest in My Presence




Rest in My Presence

Come into my arms, child and rest on my lap. Let me take the cares of life away from you for a while and let me give you rest.

In my presence, there is joy, there is peace and every fruit of the spirit. So let go of your worries, let go of all the things you must do for a moment and catch your breath with me. For when you have taken time in my presence, your strength will indeed be renewed. I desire to take the weights off your shoulders so that you do not just push through in life, but that you run with joy. I want to fill you up with good things and shower you with my love. With my Words, I will wash you clean.

Come away with me then, and let me love you. Let me take away your fears and everything else that weighs you down. For in my presence all of these things will indeed fall away. So take a moment today and come to me, says the Lord. Amen.
