Going It Alone?

  When this was written, it seemed God wanted it to be as if He were speaking, so that is what was done. Rest assured, I am only a messenger, nothing more.

If ever you needed Me, it would be this very moment in time. I want to cry out to you.

Are you watching? 

Is there anything at all that indicates to you that I am on my way?

Are you listening? 

The very ones you call weak; the very ones you ridicule as unable to stand on their own; they are My children who live with a peace that outside circumstances cannot disturb. They don’t need to get drunk so they can find their courage or lose their pain.  They don’t need to prove their worth with how they look or with what they possess. 

Listening to what people are saying; how they are saying it? So many mockers, mocking the truth in order to escape the truth.  They label me a Fairy Tale so they can keep their secrets, their pride, and their imagined control. "Look at me, I am free!" they say.  “I’m free to do as I please!”  Yet they battle addictions, anger, lust, and the insatiable hunger for money. Is this the freedom you were hoping for?  

Have you really taken the time to notice what the “freedom” of the world is offering? 

Do you suppose it’s possible that the world has actually deceived you? The pleasures it offers you are no pleasures at all, but rather chains to keep you bound.  

Are the inhabitants of this world growing kinder? Is love breaking out so peace can reign?  Is there evidence that the earth is growing younger? Is the soil producing a greater abundance with more nutrients than ever before?  Is your future secure?  Is the world giving you all you have ever hoped for?  If your answer is yes, then continue to ignore what I’m saying.  But if you desire something more, if the elements of your world are out of control; if you are honestly longing to be free and experience a peace that lasts forever…

…then come.

Come to me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.  (Matthew 11:30)

Everything comes with a price, doesn't it?  Yes.  This, too, has a price.  You need to relinquish control.  That’s right. The price for this peace is to give me your burden of control.  I will trade your burden for peace.  I long to give you peace.  I long to save you from the minefield of this world.

This life is like a mine field standing between you and freedom.

The creator of the mine field (enemy of your soul) has calculated where to place every mine in order to deceive and destroy.  One of his tricks is to place a few counterfeit mines along the way.  That way, you will feel more at ease when you see that nothing tragic occurs when you accidentally step onto it.  You continue on your path, passing several more inactive mines. Then you find yourself in the middle of the mine field.  You look around and you can’t remember which ones were safe and which ones were lethal.  Take one step in the wrong direction and you’re toast.  When you come to that place and you realize that there is nowhere else to go, look up.  Take my hand that is extended to you and I will guide you through the field.  You will be safe.  I have traveled this road before and I know it well.  I will take you safely through to the other side, where freedom awaits you.

I’m right here.  My hand is extended.  Do you trust me?  

I am ready to get out of this minefield.  Are you?

Here, take my hand...

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified....for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."  Deuteronomy 31:6
