Look within...

 

My prayer:

Amazing Father. Thank you for today. Thank you for your help, your healing, and your restoration. I pray as we head into this week that you guide my steps, guard my tongue, and help me to be the person you intended me to be. 

What God Said Tonight:

You do not have to try to be someone you are not. To be my child, you only have to be who you are. To find the best you, the you I intended for you, you only have to look deep within you. 

You do not need to look at the world around you. You do not need to look for role models to emulate. You only have to look deep within you. Beyond the hurts and pain this world has caused for you, look to the child who looked up at me and said, 'Yeah, having Jesus in my heart sounds pretty cool. Let's do it.' That is who you are looking to reconnect with. 

But let me say, the experiences of your life are not wasted. They are not things that should be ignored. They are things that you can heal from with my help. And, when you have healed, the strength you gain and the strength you can share is nearly worth the pain the got you there. 

I love you sweet child. This is a time for looking in and letting me heal the path. I love you, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
