I Give You True Gifts
My daughter, I am the way, the truth, and the light. Whoever knows Me will not perish but have eternal life. I am the gatherer, the one who comes and brings hope and keeps you close to Me. You may move away from Me, but I still remain.
Let nothing separate us.
There is freedom in laying down that restless heart. Be steadfast, with Me. You have what it takes. I have given you a heart that, in truth, desires Me more than anything. This is how you are steadfast, this is how you do not waver, this is how you stay close to Me: when your heart is filled with Me.
Desire more of Me.
I give you the true things for which your heart desires. Truth, hope, joy, freedom—this is life with Me. In the midst of trial, I give you these things. In the midst of heartache and trouble, I remove anxiety and worry, and I give you these things. In the midst of storms and busyness and patches of quiet when I feel not so near, I give you these gifts of your heart. Because I gather and restore what is mine.
I have designed you, and I know what you need.
Let my love overflow on you. Let my gifts be easy to receive.
