Do Not Abandon Hope

“Don‘t Abandon Hope” November 29, 2008

“Oh, My Little One…I look at you and just as My Son Jesus saw the people of Israel as sheep without a shepherd, I see many who have been through hard times, suffered losses, seen dreams come to nothing and visions dry up like a vine with no water and have come to the point where I have little part in their lives- not by My choice but by theirs. It breaks My heart to see this, not because I didn’t know it was going to happen before the foundation of your world but because you cannot see what I see; you cannot see the beginning and the end at the same time and so, you are caught up in only what you think to be bare fact, that you believe I have failed you and left you alone to suffer.“Nothing could be further from the truth, My Beloved. I am taking you down a road you do not understand at this time but the time will come when you will understand and you will know I was there, all along, even in your darkest nights and most desolate times. You’ll know many of your expectations were unreal and not a part of what your life should be. You’ll know I was there and held you closely, heard you cry, wiped the tears from your eyes and saved them as treasures for the future (and some day, you will understand this, also). I felt your heart beating, even as you thought it was breaking and that you may not be able to carry on, but you did carry on, didn’t you, and it was because My hand was upon you,20enabling you to carry on, healing your wounds, even if you still don’t believe it.“You see, I AM GOD and I do not need anyone to believe a certain way for Me to continue to be GOD. If I said I would do something, it makes no difference if you believe it or not: I’m going to do what I said I would do, for I AM not a man who can lie. I AM your Enabler, your High Tower, your Comforter, your Champion and your Fulfiller of Dreams, and even though I continue to be GOD in your life behind the scenes when you place Me there, I am asking you to not abandon hope. Hope is the stuff of dreams, and dreams the stuff of reality…MY reality. Hold onto Me and see how much your life will improve. You’ve spent far too long chasing after other things to fill that hole in your heart, Beloved; let Me reside in your heart and heal all your hurts. Let Me lift you up and hide you in the shelter of My wing. Realize the things of this world, which you have been pursuing ever since you became disappointed in Me, will never fill that void. Only I can, and will, do that, and even now, your heart tells you that is true. Let Me hold you and place the Balm of Gilead on your wounds,” says the Lord, “and let Me be GOD in your life once again. My Word is true. I will not let you down.”
