The One Thing I Ask You to Do

You can believe you’re alone. You can believe you’re no good. You can believe you’ve gone too far. You can believe your mistake can’t be fixed. I know. 

You can believe you don’t deserve to be loved. You can believe there is no way out. You can believe your life is one of destruction and problems and this last thing you did, well, it just can’t be turned around.

You can believe you’re trapped. You can believe you’re worthless. You can believe you’re doomed and unlovable and not desired. I know.

You can believe all these things. Yes.

Or, you can declare your inheritance, a seemingly impossible, completely true inheritance. You can claim your voice, your future, the gift of knowing there is always another way; there is always hope; there is always a path through the seemingly impossible. For I am possible. You are not possible. No, not alone. But I am here. I am here. And I am possible. 

I am the way. Never you. Never try to make your own way. That is how you lose your way. You are not lost now, when you cling to Me. You are not lost when you remember you are found. You are found. 

You are found by the One who adores you and waits for you and celebrates with wild abandonment when His daughter is found. 

Choose the life of knowing you are not lost, not one little bit, but found. And when mistakes are made you wish you could take back, don’t try to figure out a solution by yourself. Remember, you are not the way. I have come. I lead. I am the One with the plan.

And do you know what the plan always involves? Do you know—no matter what has happened, no matter what you’ve said or done—the one thing I always ask you to do, the one thing my plan always involves?

Love.
