Just as you Are

Just as you Are

When you were a child, because you were small, everything seemed out of reach. Shelves were too high, steps too steep and you needed help from an adult to do just about anything. Though you have now grown up in the natural, you may often feel like a child in places of your spiritual life.
Do not despise this time of being a child, however. Do not strive to grow faster and look toward the future so much that you miss the blessing in the season where you are now.
For what you learn as a child is to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are. You don't have to perform for Me or to earn my affection. Your main job is to receive that love, and let it transform you. This season is to find the joy in your identity as my child, and to know that I love you, and to let me hold you close to my heart.
If there are others that want to give you help in an area that you cannot yet reach, let them. It is my gift to you. So rest in the knowledge that your path is well planned for you, so enjoy each day in this season as a child. Take each and every opportunity to savor the joy of your journey with Me, and before long, you will find that you have grown tall and strong without you noticing.
