Step Out Boldly
The time of turmoil is nearly over says the Lord. You have tossed and turned at night wondering what to do, and you have cried out to me concerning the future. But you could not hear my voice and you have struggled on in darkness and in fear.
Yet I have been speaking all along but you have not heard my voice. In some ways perhaps you are afraid to hear my voice, in case I tell you what you do not wish to hear.
My child I will never ask you to do anything that does not line up with both my Word and my love for you. For I have always desired the best for you. And even when I have given commandment in the past against sinful actions, it has never been out of anger or lack of love for you. It has always been because I desire to see you have the best.
And even now, as you have sought to find a way out of your difficulties, I have suffered with you in these things, and I want you to always have the best. I never give bad gifts and I never expect you to receive a gift as from Me if it does not carry blessing with it.
Those things that have been driving you are not of me, for I never push or force my way. But that gentle voice that speaks deep down inside you. That voice that seems so soft that you can barely hear it. That is my true voice. And even though that voice might promise things which are too big for you to grasp or hope for, you can be assured that it is indeed Me who has been speaking to you.
For I desire you to rise up and break free of the chains that have bound you. And I desire to lift you up on high and display you to the world. Not so that you can be seen, but so that I can be seen in you.
I believe in you even more than you believe in Me. I have aspirations for you even greater than what you have for yourself. And with my help you can do the most amazing things. And indeed you will says the Lord. For the ideas that have arisen in your heart to do great things for My Kingdom did not come from you, but they came from Me. And I fully intend to give you all that you need to accomplish these things.
So do not hold back any longer in fear, and do not think that you are too weak or insignificant to do great things for Me. For I delight in using the weak and foolish things of this world. And I delight in showing my grace in those whom the world might consider failures and outcasts.
Step out boldly now in My Name says the Lord, and follow My leading in your heart. For I will bless the work of your hands and fulfill every promise that I have given you.
