"I want you to show love,
not offer sacrifices.
I want you to know Me
more than I want burnt offerings."
Hosea 6:6
dear Child,
you often ask what I would
have you doing in this season of your life.
you pray and you listen.
you listen and you pray.
you long to know that
you are in the center
of My plan for you.
and rightly so.
"I want you to show love,
not offer sacrifices.
I want you to know Me
more than I want burnt offerings."
listen carefully, My Child.
show love and mercy.
seek to know and love Me more.
for out of these two actions
flows My Kingdom.
and they are the highest
calling I place on any heart
for no higher calling exists.
now hear Me well, Child.
if you live only to know My
glory and beauty and love and life
and all that is Me, you will have missed
so much of that for which I created you!
for to know and love Me
is to allow all that is Me
to overflow from all that is you.
and that point of collision is where
My Spirit simply takes over,
and lives around you will
be touched and changed
in My name.
have you considered, My Child,
that perhaps the thing or event or
whatever it is to which you sense Me
calling you is actually happening
this very moment?
that I am simply waiting for you to
join Me in the journey?
there is a door, My Child,
and it is open for you now.
I understand your fears and doubts,
yet you must trust that I have placed
the desire, the burning, the passion
within you and by faith you must take
the first step for I will not part the water
until you get your feet wet.
and never will I drag you
into that for which I
have called you.
you fear getting ahead of Me.
hear Me, Child.
I would much rather
have to gently draw
you back a bit and
slow your pace
than have to
reignite the flame within!
for that is what will happen.
by waiting and contemplating
and yes, even praying more,
you will go nowhere and the flame
will slowly die out.
oh not by the bucketful,
but by drop after drop after drop
of doubt and fear and questioning,
the flame will be extinguished.
the time is now.
and I am for you,
not against you,
so step out and
follow your heart
for I am leading
your heart
and where I am leading,
I already am.
