11) Relentless
Relentless, unstoppable, unmovable, unshakable, fervent, passionate pursuit, never ending, unrestrained. That is My love for you, waiting for every opportunity, every opening to heal and fill you. I want to touch you, to strengthen you, to empower you, a tireless tidal wave, a violent earthquake, shaking out what should not be, building up My bride to be all that she should be for My coming, My arrival.
Relentless, a pounding desire to be one with you. Yes, it will happen, sure and true. I am the victorious, conquering one. Nothing or no one will stop Me. For I have poured out My very self, My essence into you. Unstoppable, relentless, waiting for the time to forever be with you. I am relentlessly pursuing you.
12) Still
Confusion, chaos, clamor, loud noise; yes, I am there among them. You will find Me when you go to your still and quiet place. I am waiting behind the closed door of your soul, eager to hear your voice and the cries of your heart.
I am waiting to touch your outstretched heart and wounded and frayed soul. You will find peace, healing and comfort in the quiet place that I designed just for you.
We will share secrets together and I will whisper words of love to you. I will wipe the tears from your eyes. I will offer you My warm and tender embrace. We will laugh together over our secret jokes and My plans for you. I will reveal treasured memories that we can share together.
Yes, be still and let Me enjoy your presence. Enjoy Mine and I will woo you with sweet songs from heaven. Won’t you come and be still with Me for a little while? I am waiting not just in your prayer closet but anywhere you choose. When you speak, I draw still. Come and be still before Me.
13) Unfinished Business
You may think all is quiet and still; yet, I am still working. I am busy saving you from the storm, from things that you still do not know. I am creating relationships. I am forming partnerships and alliances. My Spirit is cleaning you up on the inside so you will shine on the outside.
I have calculated your steps and numbered your days. I am re-wiring your thoughts and attitudes to be more successful.
I am preparing you for your eternity. I am shortening the fury of the storm and the chaos so you will not be disheartened. I am making your heart stronger and your vision clearer. You will have more clarity of purpose than ever before. I am preparing your light to pierce the darkness ahead of you.
I am clothing you with humility so that you can properly receive My glory. I am wrapping you with the affections and passions of My heart. I am preparing you for a joyful and tender meeting with Me that will have eternal consequences. This is my unfinished business with you.
14) Big
Yes, that’s right. I am God and I am huge huge huge. I can hold all the stars in the palm of My hand. I am bigger than the universe because I created it. I constantly know the location and the thoughts of every person I have created. I also know the location and movements of every creature.
All my enemies flee in terror at just one look from Me. The day is coming when I will totally obliterate them. Every person has life and breath because I give it to them. Without my permission, they would instantly perish and become dust in the ground. I have heard every cry and prayer of mankind. Every prayer will be answered at the right time. Every action will be remembered and judged accordingly.
I see the beginning and the end of everything I have made. I was before life and light was because I made it. Every good idea is my idea; they came from Me. Yet, I treasure you and think of you constantly. I am the longing lover of your soul that reaches to embrace you and be one with you. Family was my idea and I am going to make a tremendous one. I use every event for My will and purpose. This is only the beginning of who I am and what I want to do.
15) Come Back
Jesus looked down upon the earth at the people He had made. He was very grieved that they had rejected words of truth and arms of love. Come back to Me He cried as the waves rushed to the shore again and again.
Come back like a tiny child that yearns for his mother. Come back to Me like the dying man who is gasping for his next breath. Come back before you do not remember the way home. Come back before my voice becomes a faint whisper and then it is forever silent.
Come back before you are crushed by confusion and chaos. Come back before no more light is found in the darkness. Come back before love is a forgotten memory. Come back before you are completely immobilized by fear and pain. Come back!
My hand is outstretched to save you from all of this. But you see, it’s not just about saving you. It’s about having a relationship with Me that goes on forever. Come see and experience how amazingly good I am to you.
16) Why
Jesus the perfect one who knew how to laugh and cry looked at His people with tears in His eyes. Why do you trade light for darkness? Why do you trade beauty for ashes? Why do you trade wisdom for foolishness? Why do you trade joy for hopelessness? Why do you trade My endless beauty for the desire of your eyes? Come back, come back to Me.
I am here waiting for you; all My riches and treasures are waiting for you. Who would be a pauper when they could be a king? My love for you holds nothing back. I call out. I sing a song over you waiting for a reply. Come back and be with Me, walk with Me. I am calling your name. I want us to laugh together in the joy of family and unity.
17) Full of Grace
To give grace is to be gracious. It implies that a person’s life and actions are full of grace towards others. Gracious people are slow to speak and quick but patient to hear the opinions of others. Gracious people do not form their opinions too quickly and show value to the other person by carefully listening to what they have to say.
Gracious people are kind, generous and thoughtful to others. Gracious people live life to help people succeed. Gracious people are team builders and draw other people into projects or activities. Gracious people radiate love and bring others closer to Jesus. Gracious people rarely boast about themselves but let other people boast about them.
18) Full of Grace, Part Two
A gracious person is like a soft white light to a gathering! They temper sharp edged wounds and words. They are like a quiet but effective salve for old painful memories. They are a silent song to a heart that needs to be sung. They give courage to the feeble and the weak.
All this can happen while the bitter and noisy world of accusation swirls around them. They are a refreshing pond of peace on a clamorous and noisy day.
A question arises, “How do you become a person full of grace?” Study how to become like Jesus as He was the most gracious person who ever lived on this planet. You cannot be gracious until you spend time with Him and study His Word. Purpose in your heart to be a powerhouse of grace in every situation. The gracious person is a bone shattering earthquake to this arrogant world. Ask for the Holy Spirit to fill you while you empty yourself of the things of the world. Be a gracious person and change the world!
19) Are You There?
I had you in mind before even time was created. I ordained millions of precise circumstances so you would be born. During your life I have shaped every second and minute so that My purposes could be realized. Absolutely nothing was left to chance.
You live precisely in each place where I have ordained it. I shaped multimillions of circumstances to form your family, career and relationships. I have given you each life, breath and opportunity. Every talent and gift was given to reveal Me to others in some way.
I am constantly involved with you, every second of your life, waiting for your attention and affection. Think of a father and mother watching over their child and you will get a glimpse of My heart. Like any good father, I can hardly wait until you are safely home. Yes, I am there. Yes, I do care. Are you there?
20) Moving
The Spirit of the Lord is moving. Yes, many of you like the status quo. I am moving you into another position. I am realigning. I am changing the old and creating the new. Hopeful breezes will spring up again. The reins of mercy will fall. My Son is shining His face in a new and a radiant way. It is time to take a chance. It is time to try a new idea. Put away your cloak of weariness.
Whispers of joy will be heard again and even the old ears will hear My song with joy. How can I bring a ragged and crushed army into battle? How can I ignore the stirring and heartfelt cries of my people? Be as a dry sponge and soak up all you can of My refreshment and renewal. I am creating new cries of victory and rewriting old hymns of battle. My possibilities and options are limitless. Do you believe me? Take hold of them. Go and carry your light into the darkness.
