Tell Me Everything

You don’t have to hide your feelings from me. I am strong enough to receive your frustration and honesty. I don’t receive these painful emotions from you begrudgingly. Erase the picture from your mind that I am a harsh Father brooding over you with dissatisfaction. I am your good Father. I love you. It’s refreshing to hear the truth as your heart opens to me. I love to hear the unfiltered concerns of your heart. That is when I joyfully swoop in to rescue, redeem, and restore it.

Yes, I already know every inch of your heart. I have always known you. How precious and vast my thoughts are about you. Were you to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore. I know you, but do you trust my goodness, little one? Do you trust my love-filled intentions for you?

It’s up to you to break the silence and invite in the light. I’m not looking for your polished best. I want the real you. I love the real you. Come to me with honesty. Come to me with your anxieties, worries, and frustrations. Appropriate my Word. That’s when I rise up to comfort your fears and change what’s causing them. My truth changes the atmosphere, and strongholds come crashing down. I am your loving Father. I’m your Shepherd, and I won’t fail you. My answer may not always be what you think or want it to be, so you must trust my hand. Do you trust me?

Father God, I will whisper my heart’s cries into your compassionate ear as we walk together today. I choose to trust you.
