Facing God: Turn Your Heart Over To HimSample

I Want to Show You All I Have

Daughter, I speak confidence in you. I speak love in you. I know how you feel when you mess up, when you think of yourself first, when you don’t trust Me, when you run after what you think you need and not what I know is best for your heart. 

Oh, girl, confess your heart to Me, pour out your heart to Me. Keep turning, keep looking. Keep turning over your heart for Me. I want to show you what is underneath the choices you make away from Me. 

When you choose selfishness instead of Me, you forget who I am.

When you choose greed instead of Me, you idolize this world.

When you choose envy instead of Me, you doubt I have given you enough and believe I am a God who doesn’t care for His children. 

When you choose judgment instead of forgiveness, hard-heartedness instead of kindness, self-indulgence instead of self-forgetfulness, I am forgotten, too. 

When you choose to keep ignoring Me, reading my words but following your own path, you are blind to my steps in front of you, deaf to my words whispered in you, closed off from possibility of new directions, new hope, new places where I want to take you.

Hear this: You are not stuck. You can be moved. You can change.

More hope is right around the corner. More possibility and further direction.

I want to show you more of what I have for you. I want to have you trust Me more. I want to take you in deeper, deeper still. My love has no end, the possibilities of hope and future strength in Me is beyond what you can see now.

So you need to keep turning over those things that feel safe and hold you back from trusting Me more. You need to stay close and willing to move into uncomfortable and unfamiliar places with Me.

Do you want to know what awaits you, child? Do you want to know what is around the bend? 

Keep listening. Keep confessing. Keep reaching and looking and going deeper. 

I am with you. 

I am with you.

I move you in deeper. I want to show you all I have.
