Hearing His Voice / You Are Never AloneУзор

You’re Not Made to be Alone

I call you back. I call you back, into my arms. Don’t doubt what I’ve made, how I’ve made you. Stay close to Me. Hear my voice, where light falls in shadows, where noise rises and you aren’t sure how you could ever truly hear Me. You hear Me. I am near.

My daughter, being with Me, hearing my voice, letting Me lead you, requires a turning over of your heart. You can’t press in deeper by fighting to get to Me, by floundering desperate for Me. Rise up now and see where I am. Right here. I am right here.

No excuses now. You are designed for relationship, for relationship with Me. You are designed for community, for your heart to crave connection, people who know you and love you. You are designed to be known, understood. You are designed to be loved. Loved.

And I love you perfectly and completely. There is no other love you need to chase down. And I bring people into your life who are designed to love, too. And they are called to love you. And they are called to reflect Me to you. And they are called to help you hear Me. And they are called to help you walk straight where I walk straight, and turn when I turn.

You, my daughter, are not made to be alone. So if you are lonely and you are misunderstood and you are longing for an arm around you now, a friend to sit beside you, a person to experience your life with you, lift you up when you are weary and down . . . call on Me, my dear one. Call on your Father who made you, who designed you to yearn for connection. And then take a risk, into the adventure I call you to, and trust the safe places I’ve created for you, with others, to see Me and hear Me and lean on Me.

It’s not better to be independent, solitary, all the time. Go away with Me, yes, but find Me, too, among the body, my home, my church. I will show you how to go forward. I will show you how to trust. I will protect your heart as you stay close to Me and take risks and head into what feels dangerous and unknown. This world is dangerous, and you have a helper. You have a helper in Me.
