Things Are Not What They Seem
Child of Mine, things are not always what they seem. I am eternal and
I have the full perspective of what is going on; but you are limited.
You don't see everything that I see, and you do not know everything
that I know. And dear one, the partial information that you do possess
can lead you to misevaluate and to make wrong conclusions.
Things can look alarming and out of control from your perspective. But
I am never caught off guard and there is nothing that I cannot handle.
At times, when you look at your future, it may seem bleak and full of
despair. In those times, you need to remind yourself that I am the God
of all hope; I do not disappoint those who put their trust in Me.
There will be times when you may feel alone and abandoned, but I will
never leave you--indeed I have placed My Spirit within you, and He will
reside in you for all of the days of your life. I will not abandon you;
indeed I cannot, for I have taken up residence with you. No matter where
you go, I am there with you.
There are times when it seems like I am allowing a lot of attack and
hardship to come upon you. It may feel as though I've lifted My hand of
protection off of you--but I have not. You see only those attacks or
difficulties that I allow to come your way. But you don't see the many
other ones that I have shielded you from. Yes, I am actively at work on
your behalf, and I am protecting you from greater harm. So in those
times of hardship, remind yourself that I will never allow more to come
upon you than you can handle, and that I am with you in all things.
Little one, even in your bleakest hour, things are not what they seem.
There is nothing that the enemy can throw at you that I am not prepared
for. He cannot surprise Me, nor can he overwhelm Me, nor can he persuade
Me to stop loving you. The devil cannot change the fact that
My plans for you are good, and that I have a hope and a future for you.
He will do his best to convince you that is not true...but he cannot
convince Me, nor can he deceive Me.
He may tell you that you have fallen short and disqualified yourself
from My covering, but that is not true either. I already know every
single thing that you are going to do, every wrong choice and every
mistake that you are going to make--and I will not stop loving you
because of them. I will not push you away, I will not abandon you, I
will not condemn you and I will not stop taking care of you.
In those times when it seems like I have forsaken you--I have not nor
will I ever do so. Indeed, when if "feels" like I have turned My back
on you, remind yourself that things are not what they seem.
