Move Forward: Deepening Your Roots With God

DAY 4 OF 5

Different Expectations

I am here, even when you are tired. I am here, even when you think I’m not. I am here, not dependent upon your mood or your efforts. I am separate from circumstances, but in the middle of all moments, too.

Look for Me.

Expect Me.

Desire Me.

Attune your heart to my voice. Believe I speak words of love to you. Believe I love to be with you—whether it feels like I am close or not.

How would it look to live believing I am close, even when you can’t see and hear and feel Me?

What does it mean to feel and hear and know Me? What are you looking for? What are you expecting?

What if you got rid of expectations of what it looks like to walk with Me and still knew I am with you? Isn’t my life in you unique to my presence with all others? Isn’t the making of you—your personality, your ideas and experiences so far, going to shape how you hear and see and experience Me?

How fun this will be! You expecting to see Me, be with Me. . . Because here’s the difference, here is what matters: Know I am with you. Know I love you. Know I love to be with you. Won’t you see me and hear me more then?

I do not change, but I tune your heart. I want you to know even these words are true.

Move Forward: Deepening Your Roots With God

It’s not for us to control our circumstances in life. That’s for God to decide. What we can control, however, is how deeply our roots go. When we strengthen our relationship with God from within, we move forward with Him. We bloom. This five-day plan will guide you in nurturing a deeper relationship with God so that you may grow ever stronger.
