A Letter From the Father - The Light in Dark Places
The pressures of this world may try to diminish your light, but with my love burning inside of you, this shall never transpire. I have set you upon high places so you have a greater advantage against the evil one. The responsibilities you have acquired from me are ones of great importance and value. You see my child, beyond all of the accusations and lies, your purpose still remains. Those whom you have felt hurt you, have no power over your weaknesses. I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of peace and a sound mind. Always listen for my voice in the struggle.
I have not placed you in the position you are in to hurt you or startle you. Instead, I am strengthening you to battle the evil one and to show others that it is possible to conquer much with my great strength. The level of your understanding has much to do with how much you allow me to work through you. Do not look to others to validate your worth and calling. They surely do not know anything about you except for your exterior. I however, I know you in full. I created you within my standard of excellence, and you are far from what others may think or say about you.
I see beauty in your weakness. I see boldness beyond measure. What you look at as a failure, I look at as a way to prove my faithfulness. How could I ever betray you or falsely bear witness to a dream that I have placed inside of your heart? Am I a man that I should lie? Never! All of the things that I have promised are already yours. My living Word reigns against ALL earthly things. Place ALL of your trust in me, my dear and precious one. Choose to believe that my plans for you REALLY ARE GOOD!! What you read in my scriptures are more than just words, they are declarations of what has existed, and what will soon exist. My words are prophetic occurances at their finest. No man shall ever change them or add to them. For what I have said has been placed into existence and they will soon come to pass.
Look in between my Words on the pages and what do you see? A space. That space is not merely to take a break in between words, but it resembles something far greater. Those spaces in between my Words are to show you that there is a waiting period. Yes, listen closely to what I am telling you. When you read the Words on those pages, it is not only telling a story, but it is showing you how life really moves. This is wisdom, dear one, listen closely. Without the spaces between the Words, the Words wouldn’t exist to define themselves. The spaces MAKE the words visable to your eye. Without the spaces, there would be continuous amounts of letters all lined up against one another, not spelling or explaining anything at all. Those spaces are necessary to tell the story. My dear one, the spaces in your life, those waiting periods when you are not sure where I am or what is going to happen next, those spaces are necessary to tell your story. Without those spaces of waiting, things would move too fast for your understanding. For it is to your benefit that I give you spaces in life where you have to wait. This is my way of perfecting you, and slowing you down to pause in between blessings. Always look at this parable and remember that without the spaces, there would be no story.
I love you dearly and I want you to let go of those things that have been holding you down lately. Yes, the things that you so much think and dwell upon. It is no good for you to be so hard on yourself. I hear your complaints, and although you do not say them out loud with your tongue, your heart is much, much louder because I live inside of you. I created you, my love. I created you with PERFECTION and nothing less. There is no accident or smudge that can be erased because I made you without blemish or stain. You see, I did not just form you into someone then place you on earth to live for a short time. No my dear one, it is much more beautiful and complex than that. Take a deep breath. Now take another one. I counted those two breaths long before I ever gave you lungs to breathe. My story for your life is absolutely beautiful, my beloved. Nothing shall ever be wasted when you walk with me. I could not possibly tell you the things I have planned for the rest of your days! You would laugh at the very thought of what I have purposed for your life! Why you ask? Because you of great faith, even you have trouble believing the magnitude of my love for you. Until you truly grasp my love for you, the plans I have for you will seem outrageous.
I want you to step to the edge of this cliff of fears and unbelief, and dive deep into my ocean of grace, love, and mercy. My beloved, I just want you to know Me more. The more you come to know who I AM, the more you will realize how loved you really are. I want to take you deeper into my love if you should only let me. I AM an all consuming fire, my love never becomes dim, and it never burns out. And just as a flame burns bright into the darkest night, so will your life illuminate the darkest of hearts. This is my plan for your life. Shine bright for me and you'll change the world for me.
Your Heavenly Father, Almighty God
