My plan for you before creation began I decided to have a number of people like you who would be my children

and
respond to my love out of the chaos and confusion of their lives I decided to bring my divine order to prepare and equip
them for heaven this is no small task at first everybody rebels they sin and are cut off from my love I sent my son to
restore them to relationship with me as soon as they give their lives to jesus my divine order for their lives is established
my holy spirit work in each of my children to bring my plan to fulfilment so my dear child this is what is happening in
your life you will be transformed into my likeness changed me face to face then you will be like me and you will reign
eternally with me in glory I am looking forward to that so much I want you to look forward to child please co operate
with me in all I need to do in preparing you for this you will share my sadness for all those who are unconcerned about
my reason for creating them they want to make their own way through life sadly if they decide to do without me now
they will do without me eternally if they look to their own work for salvation their own
Works will have to save them this is impossible isn t it nobody can know the glory of my heaven through their own
works
My way of salvation I was not taken by surprise when man sinned I had already planned what I would do when this
happened some people talk as if I was taken by surprise and had to alter my strategy to bring men back on course how
mistaken they are they don t understand that I live in eternity and can see the end from the beginning I knew very well
what would happen like everyone else you fell short of my glory and what I wanted for you were proud and selfish
wanting your own way so my dear child I planned for jesus to take all your sin failure fear and inadequacy the cross I
sent him to take your punishment so that I would have no cause to be angry with you his blood and your so that you
could have a new life and become a new creation I need to liberate you from spiritual darkness and make you a child of
light the only way for anyone to know me is through jesus this is why you have had to put your faith in him and all he
has done for you my dear child I am so pleased you have done this now you and I can have a great life together
I didn t create you to suffer at the hands of others although I knew this to be inevitable my son jesus was subjected to
opposition rejection abuse and hatred I allowed this because I love you so much you see my dear child I wanted to free
you from the effects of sin failure and fear I wanted you to be able to receive my life a life so real and full that you could
allow yourself to love and be loved without fear of hurt or rejection jesus had to be vulnerable in the same way as you to
make this possible as I have watched over you and seen the hurts that have accumulated I have longed to bring you close
to jesus for if you are close to him you are close to me so don t think I have been unconcerned about your needs I have
been waiting for you to give me that time and opportunity to set you free from the things that have caused the shame and
hurt you have experienced I have spoken to you in love many times often you ve pushed away what I have said I ve
spoken to you through others but you ve refused to listen so I rejoice that now you will sit at my feet and allow me to
give you understanding of my love I want to speak from my heart to your heart
my dear child I have saved murderers prostitutes drug addicts alcoholic and criminals don t you think I am able to save
you I have saved people from communism Hinduism Buddhism and many other isms don t you think I can save you why
do you always think you are the difficult one why do you think it should be more difficult for you to receive from me
than anybody else why do you give the impression that Christ died for everybody else except you this doesnt seem to
make any sense you suggest I have one law for everybody else and a different one for you I am allowed to bless heal and
save others byt not you you keep saying to yourself that there is nothing special about you yet you treat yourself as
special case as if you are the only one a cannot forgive heal save or liberate I think its time for repent of pride dont you?
You think such attitudes are the frit of being humble but they are not you are saying you know better than I do I know
more about this salvation business than you if you confess your sins I am faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse
from all unrighteousness
Believe what I say I am faithful and just I have forgiven you and cleansed you from all unrighteousness accept that you
are saved because you have asked me to forgive you have faith in jesus you are accepted by me begin to look at yourself
as I see you instead of telling me you are not what you are even suggest I couldnt do for you what I have already done it
s very frustrating being your father if you dont believe my love and question my goodness and generosity to you

I will always speak to you in human terms you can understand I want to draw you close to me child as your father I want
to hold you in my arms I won t force myself you there have been times when I wanted to enfold you in my love but you
pushed me away so I ve had patient waiting for the time when you would be prepared to open yourself to me when you
would dare to trust me enough to let me love you when you receive my love know my peace then you begin to
experience the joy of being loved by me instead of felling vulnerable you a new security you have feared what people
would think if they knew you loved me such concerns dont matter your need of my love is much more important than
other people s reactions would n t you agree you have also slow to believe the reality of my love for you many of your
fears have been the result of your doubts trust me I want to teach you how to rest in my love without thinking you have
to do something deserve it this doesnt seem right to you does it but you cannot earn my love and dont to I already love
you
So enjoy my love because I love I enjoy you why do you find difficult to believe I want you to enjoy me I want you to
know times when you can rest in my love and enjoy me to you this seems like selfish indulgence yet this is the greatest
need in your life dont see that the more you allow yourself to rest in my love the more able you are to take my love to
others often the love you have given others has been frantic not a resting trusting love you dont need to justify my love
you and you dont have to be afraid to entrust yourself to me you ve really longed to know my for haven t you my child
as you learn to find time to rest in my love so you will be able to take rest into every other area of your life in the midst
of all your difficulties you will be able to trust in me and know the love I have for you
A child sat in tears in the middle of the crowd she was lost separated from her parents some walked past unconcerned the
child didnt belong to them so they ignored the problem then someone went up to the child took her by the hand and tried
to console her at first the child wouldnt respond because this was not her mother or father she gave no answer to the
questions but continued to sob uncontrollably then from the crowed appeared a distraught mother who enfolded the child
in her arms the sobbing gave way to cries of relief from both mother and child she lifted her up hugging her closely
assuring soothing my dear child do you ever feel lost in the crowd others may try to soothe you but I am the the only one
who can lift you up and meet your need
I love you because I love you my love for does not depend on your performance or achievements I love because I love
you I have called and chosen yoy you have been afraid to come closer to me because of inadequacy but I want you close
to me I like you you have often thought its my divine job to love you because I am god but you have doubted that I
really like you you see so many things about yourself you dont like things you know are my will for If you dont like
yourself because of things you have concluded that I dont like you either I haven t liked your sin which is why you have
felt uncomfortable when you grieved me but I dont love you only when you are good I dont love you only obedient
days I love you because I love you and like what I am doing in your life I like to bring about changes which free you
from the things you dont like about yourself I like to see repentance which leads to forgiveness and a release from your
guilt I like it when you become less religious and more loving I like you my child really like you
I love you more than you love yourself dont you realise child I love you more than you love yourself I like you more
than you like yourself I am more patient with you than you are with yourself what do you think I should do with you
when you step out of line and disappoint me what should I do when you deliberately avoid what I am saying and blind
yourself to the truth should I punish I punish you should I push you away from me because you no longer deserve my
love do you think my love is only for good perfect people who always obey me if this was the case I wouldnt have
anyone left to love imagine a mother holding a young baby in her arms does she ask for her child to be perfect mature
and obedient immediately she knows the child will need training teaching and discipline when he learns to walk he will
touch what he shouldnt do he will show little discernment as to what is right or wrong but the mother doesnt reject her
child saying she cannot love such a disobedient failure no she draws the child closer saying to herself I will train him and
love him and discipline him when necessary he will grow up
To be fine boy and she will defend him against any who criticise him he is precious to her hear my father s heart beating
as I tell you these things dont you see that this is how I regard you I know you haven t reached perfection and maturity
you are still learning to walk in my ways and do what pleases me you are like that small child you are hurt by doing
things you should t aren t you this is the way you learn it is in your own best interests to what I say my
